How to replace a single word under cursor?

How do I replace a word under the cursor in Vim.

So instead of using dw then i then the word and then Esc, is there a simpler combination to replace the word under the cursor?

Solution 
  • ciw

    (change inner word) will change the whole word under the cursor. Compare with

    cw

    which will only change the word from the current cursor position. For more info see this SO question/answer.
