Is there any way in gvim to rearrange tabs by dragging and dropping them with the mouse? This is behavior I love in Firefox and Chrome. I know you can do :tabm n but that requires figuring out exactly how many tabs in you'd like to move to. Using the mouse would be more useful for this spatial task. Any methods to move tabs left/right ...

The useful command :r!date is not so useful in gVim for Windows (not cygwin's gVim) because Windows has its own date function which does not do what I want. so, something like :r!c:\cygwin\bin\date would be great. But that's a lot to type. And considering that I might want to call a few things this way, it would be nice to write a f...

I just want to transfer from SourceInsight to VIM. I know the basic of VIM, also study some pop plugins (project, fuzzlefind, taglist), but I still have a few questions about my main scenario.

cw changes a word. Likewise if I have selected sections in vim (found by /), how do I change one of the highlighted section, so that I can repeat(.) the process in all of the other highlighted sections. I know %s will do the trick. But I wanted to go this the / way (visual satisfaction). Edit: I am looking for an extender to c like w...

I code a lot of HTML and I'd like to map CTRL+> to > and CTRL+< to < respectively, to make it easier when typing out lots of text featuring those symbols. After checking the Vim manual, I tried using imap <C->> >, imap <C-\>> > and even imap <C-S-.> > but so far I've had no success. Any ideas? ...
I'd like (g)vim to draw pipe symbol '|' on each 4th space of indentation to show something like vertical indentation line. I found this plugin: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=628 but it works only for 'tab'. I'm using spaces instead of the tabs. My .vimrc contains: set ts=4 set sw=4 set expandtab set softtab...

Synopsis: When calling vim's make command, it changes the current working directory (cwd) to the directory of the current file. It then runs the makeprg from there.

Is there an easy way to save a commonly used Regex pattern so that I can reuse it between different files?
