I have a warning I can not easily remove from my build, every time i run ":make" from inside vim the quickfix takes me to some header file I don't care about. How can I prevent VIM from doing this and only showing me warnings and errors I do care about? ...
When I switch between buffers in vim with ":bn" and ":bp", my status line shows the following handy information: "foo.txt" 43 lines --88%-- ((1) of 3) 38,1 All (I think it's "set showmode" that enables that.) But that "(1)" is always literally "(1)" -- it doesn't change as I change buffers. (The parens a...

How can I do :make asynchronously and still get the benefits of reading the errors back into Vim and jump to the errors in source code? Bonus...

A code is over 2 000 lines full of folds. I select a certain block in Visual mode to which I would like to start writing. However, things around, such as folds, hinter my writing, and I accidentally tend to modify them. Currently, I avoid such mistakes by writing the block in a separate VIM. It is not a real solution, and it gets awkward...

I've been using vi/vim since '97 for various quick edits and administration tasks, but have only recently considered using it to replace Netbeans as my ruby editor of choice. One thing I find extremely useful in both Netbeans and Eclipse is the Ctrl+Click "Go to definition" feature, where you can ctrl+click on a class or method and it wi...
