There's no need to abandon something you've paid money for to utilise features which are otherwise free...

If you're fortunate enough to be using Sublime on OSX, finding a shortcut is easy as:
1. Opening the help menu - "Command-?" (Command-Shift-/) 2. Entering search terms
Here's a screengrab of the process for your particular query (moving lines up): http://i.imgur.com/j226q.png
And here's a screengrab of CheatSheet (http://cheatsheetapp.com), a utility for quickly reviewing shortcuts in any OSX app, being applied to Sublime: http://i.imgur.com/HPUB4.png
Alternatives for these are available for other platforms, should you not be using OSX. Seek and you shall find :)

On the other hand, continuing to use something merely because you already paid money for it is a sunken costs fallacy.
Use whatever works best for you, not whatever you already paid for.

#5> :e FILENAME
Use Tab completion after typing the first few letters
You may need to save your current file first
If you need to save before opening another file, then you should add set hidden to your ~/.vimrc
It is a crime this isn't the default.

Thank you for completely overlooking any of the relevant issues I have attempted to alleviate.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Aside from the sunken cost fallacy, all you've done is link how to get partial Vi (not Vim, nor even the Ex functionality you find in stock Vi.) functionality in sublime and tell him how to use documentation. I have a feeling that anyone that has decided to switch knows about those things.
As far as I can tell he wasn't even asking for help with sublime, nor did he lay out his reasons for wanting to switch away.

#9cmd-o, cmd-s and so on Just Work in macvim too.
cmd-c is "*yy in vim. Just yy writes to vim's internal clipboard, not to the system clipboard.

#10This is a really good overview. I've only been using VIM full time (more or less) for about a year so I know there's still a lot to learn. Every article has a little hint in there somewhere. I didn't know about moving lines up / down like that.
