Background: There are a lot of great tutorials and "tricks" pages for Vim, but one thing that is very difficult is to find specific instructions on how to do some arbitrary thing that one can easily do in one's own familiar text editor IDE. Therefore I am asking for step by step instructions on how you I would do something in Vim that I...

Hi there, I know it's possible to open links in an html page (let's say, if you're using Firefox) with TextMate if the link has this format: <a href="txmt://open?url=file:///home/.../index.html.haml">View</a> But is it possible to do a similar thing with VIM? Perhaps like so: <a href="vim://open?url=file:///home/.../index.html.haml"...
Sometimes I edit a file that represents a server restart. I would like to "bind" this restart to my vim session, so, after saving a file, it would call a bash script that would restart for me. For example, calling :wapache automatically calls restart_apache.sh somewhere in my machine. Is this possible? Is there a plugin that would orga...
I want to remap Ctrl-] which is used for jumping to the tags to another key binding. These mappings work: :map <F2> <C-]> :map <A-1> <C-]> But this mapping doesn't work: :map <C-1> <C-]> What might be the reason for this? ...
I recently found that there is a command in Vim called compiler. You can call it with any common compiler (for example, :compiler gcc, :compiler php, etc.), but it doesn't seem to have any immediate effect. I searched on the manpages but didn't find anything useful about what it actually does, nor does the Vim Wiki. Does anyone know wha...

Is there some VIM plugin I can use to traverse the XSD types? i.e., if I have the following line and the caret is where the '|' sign is: <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="FooName" type="Magic|FooType"/> and I press Ctrl+Alt+Foo (or some...

I am trying to move to GVim(cream) as my primary editor on Ubuntu. I am using the wonderful rails.vim, however I also am using RVM. Rvm works fine when doing things in a shell, and the ruby version I would like to use in rails.vim is the version set as default (but not the system version). When I try to run things like :Rgenerate migr...

On my .gvimrc, I have the following line: map <f4> :!./%< On a source file, I have to press F4 and then enter, but it works correctly, shows the output, and hangs until I press enter again. If I change it for: map <f4> :!./%< <CR> It behaves shows the output, but doesn't wait until I press enter (and so the output becomes imposs...
I'm adding i18n to an existing project (web application). This involves replacing every bit of static text with calls to an i18n library. It would be convenient to be able to search for this text rather than rely on syntax highlighting to identify it visually. In vim, is it possible to search within a file for occurrences of a certain...

The closest thing I found would be using the -c or + command line switch, however these execute commands in Ex mode. For example, I wo...

Of course I can :set wrap and :set linebreak, but is there any way to make it automatucally, and dependent of the file extension? ...
