The question is to all you people, who use VIM to develop C++ apps. There was a period in my life, which can be described as 'I hate VIM!!!'..'VIM is nice!' However, having grown up mostly on MS Dev IDE, I've got used to those F5-F11 shortcuts when debugging code, watch window, call stack and the main code - all visible vithout need to ...
When I compile or run a file from VIM all error references are opened in the last active buffer regardless if the file is open already in another vim tab. This behavior is very annoying. Is there any way to force vim to behave like ':tab drop' on compile errors? (See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Edit_a_file_or_jump_to_it_if_already_open) ...
In Vim it is nice to use hjkl in normal mode and would be great to continue to use them in insert mode. I tried to map them to Ctrl-h, Ctrl-j, Ctrl-k, Ctrl-l: imap <C-h> <left> imap <C-j> <down> imap <C-k> <up> imap <C-l> <right> but it is not convenient especially because it masks Ctrl-H and backspace stops responding. Have you b...

Hope this is the right place to ask this question with all these new stackexachange sites. Update: The font is correctly installed I think. From the menu I can select it and it works fine. ...
Hi. In .NET, \p{L} matches any ascii or non-ascii letter (so it will match both a and ü). http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html#prop Is there a Vim equivalent for this? In Vim \a or \w will only match characters in range [a-z] (or [0-9A-Za-z_]). ...

Later I want open nerd_tree again to edit another file in /etc/apache, but nerd_tree shows me always the user home...

I'm beginning to learn VIM (I've downloaded an emulator plugin for my IDE) and unsurprisingly it's making me irritated and extremely slow. That is all fine and I realize it's a phaze everyone goes through. However this one feature is quite frustrating - being unable to jump to the next line via l, previous with h or search more than one...
When I type a command in Vim, for example opening a file, I start to type the file name, and I want to press Tab and have Vim autocomplete the name. However, when I press Tab, vim puts in ^I for some reason. How can I make Vim tab complete? ...
Ok guys, maybe this one has been asked before, but I searched and ran threw nothing, so i'm taking a chance here. I'm using the latest vim (gvim 7.3), on Windows 7 64bits. I've got some remote files that I want to edit directly with vim, using netrw. Right now, I've got a fully working transparent ssh connexion to my remote hosts, tha...
I've just started wrapping my head around vim+python scripts (having no experience with native vim scripts). How can I open a new window to contain the stdout from a background process? Currently, after reading some :help python, the only option I see is something like: cmd = ":bel new" vim.command(cmd) ...
Hi, I am trying to put together a portable set of files/scripts that will enable me to mimic a unix like environment on Windows. I do not want to install anything. The setup needs to be able to live on a thumbdrive for example. Currently I am using UnxUtils to provide grep, and more. Im adding these to the Windows PATH environment vari...
I have a file, and some lines contain unicode characters with diacritical marks in them. I would like to delete all lines in the file that contain any unicode diacritical accent character (unicode 0x0300 - unicode 0x0362). I can blow away pretty much any other unicode in the file as range matches like the following function fine: :g/[{...

Hey, I'm new to VIM, just thought I'd give it a go so I'm still not 100% on what it is capable of. Is there anyway to search a directory recursively for a file (using wildcards when needed)? If not is there a plugin that can handle this? Thanks in advance ...
I have installed omnicppcomplete, taglist, cscope, etc., and I generated my tags in /usr/include using: ctags -R --c++-kinds=+plx --fields=+iaS --extra=+q . And in my .vimrc I set: set tags=/usr/include/tags,./tags,./..tags,./**/tags But now when I write my multi-thread programs, I can not switch to pthread_create and pthread_mutex...
I remember there's a charting/graph tool/plugin in some editor (maybe in vim or eclipse) so that we can plot some chart in pure text as follows: +-----------+ +-----------+ | Class A | ------------> | Class B | +-----------+ +-----------+ Anyone knows what that plugin is? Thanks! ...
Hi, I use the autochdir option in VIM and I also utilize VIM's built-in Python interface. Is it possible to have the current directory for the built-in Python interpreter follow VIM's autochdir. For example, when I am editing a Python file, VIM's autochdir option puts me in the same directory as the edited file as far as VIM is concern...
