Today I Learned: in order to replace in Vim from CURRENT line to end you do

Replace from CURRENT line to the end

:.,$s/BEFORE/AFTER/g

meaning:

  • . - current line
  • $ - end of document

. can be removed and then, we have

:,$s/BEFORE/AFTER/g

I used to use a lot before:

:%s/BEFORE/AFTER/g

where: %s is short for 1,$ meaning the entire document.

For more help see

:h range
