As I open new tabs in vi/vim(7.2), if the opened files are in different paths the tab title displays the complete path and hogs the screen real estate so the other tabs are not visible. This means I can't use my mouse to click to the tab I want but have to resort to : & keyboard commands to move between tabs. Is there any way I can res...

I think this is a relevant question for programmers and I'd like to hear other people's answers because some syntax highlighting color schemes are better on the eyes than others. This can affect productivity as much as ergonomic keyboards or anything else on here. It's about comfort and productivity. So, I'm curious. Do you find some ...
Hi, this is going to sound pretty ignorant, but: I was working a bit in the python interpreter (python 2.4 on RHEL 5.3), and suddenly found myself in what seems to be a 'vi command mode'. That is, I can edit previous commands with typical vi key bindings, going left with h, deleting with x... I love it - the only thing is, I don't know...
I'm losing all previous buffers when by mistake I'm trying to switch behind the last buffer [n:]. If for example I open couple of files in editor :ls 1 # "/etc/moduli" line 1 2 %a "/etc/motd" line 1 :n E163: There is only one file to edit :p E163: There is only one file to edit now i can ...

Recently I decided to encrypt my engineering log using vim's :X encryption feature. I wrote down the password, but evidently I misspelled something or messed something up because decrypting the file just gives gibberish. To make matters worse, all my backups are somehow corrupted (don't ask, I am not sure how either). I am not going...

I carry a vimrc to all the machines that I work on and it naturally contains options that are not present in old vi. If I accidentally start a vi session on a machine where vi is not an alias to vim and/or vim is not installed, vi reads vimrc and throws a bunch of annoying errors to let me know that option such and such are unsupported....

This may sound a bit provocative but it actually is a real question. Feel free to edit if you don't like the tone. Now, as much as I understand vi from my short experience with it like 10 years ago, it's a primitive text editor with one editable line at the bottom of the screen created before the scrollbars were invented, with some craz...
There is a plethora of questions where people talk about common tricks, notably "Vim+ctags tips and tricks". However, I don't refer to commonly used shortcuts that someone new to Vim would find cool.
