So I work in a PHP shop, and we all use different editors, and we all have to work on windows. I use vim, and everyone in the shop keeps complaining that whenever I edit a file there is a newline at the bottom.

I know that I can get word completion through CTRL+N & CTRL+P and code completion through omnifunc with CTRL+X CTRL+O. I additionally tried Supertab (very nice), because I'm used to TAB-completion. That all worked all right. I would like to see possible matches while I'm typing, so I also tried autocomplpop.vim, witch does just that. W...

If I want all the lines with the text 'ruby' but not 'myruby' then this is what I would do. :g/\<ruby\>/ My question is what is the meaning of lesser than and greater than symbol here?

I'm not sure this is possible, but I'm interesting in making this happen. Ideally, I would like to map this feature to shift+control+3. I'm looking for a way to have Vim enter a comment (single line) which corresponds to the syntax of the file I'm editing. If there are multiple single-line comment styles, Vim/I can pick one. If the sing...

I've been getting more and more comfortable using vi on a daily basis, but one thing that bothers me is that when I use it on Ubuntu it behaves differently than when I use it on CentOS (and probably other places). I actually prefer the way it works in CentOS. Here are three things that are really bothering me on Ubuntu: In CentOS ins...

I have tested many editors out there, but Vim makes me addictive. I really wish to use Vim in all of my programming. I just tried to start learning the Java programming language and I have a huge book that I'm trying to start to read for that purpose, but the sad thing about it is that I don't have either a Java compiler or a .class file...
