Hey All, I started coding around 5 years ago. I was introduced through Java and Eclipse which both have substantial stigma attached in the programming community. A number of people at the company I currently intern at prefer emacs or vim. I can't see how a basic text editor is faster or easier than an IDE in general although I appreciat...
One thing that's bothered me with vi is that paste (p) inserts lines after the line I'm on, which makes it impossible for me to insert things at the top of a file. For instance, say I'm going through and adding a UTF-8 declaration to the top of a few files: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- yy and it's yanked. Good. I switch over to another ...

I use the project plugin to keep a window up on the left side of my gVim screen, listing my projects. It's handy and keeps me from going into IDE withdraw. H...

Here's my workflow: vim asd y1y :q vim qwe p On computerA and computerB, this works as I want it to: the line yanked from the file asd is put into the file qwe. On computerC, this doesn't work. All systems are running Ubuntu 8.04. computerA has th...

Eg: I want to turn this: value._1 = return_val.delta_clear_flags; value._2._1 = return_val.delta_inactive_time_ts.tv_sec; value._2._2 = return_val.delta_inactive_time_ts.tv_nsec; value._3 = return_val.delta_inactive_distance_km; (...) into this: return_val.delta_c...

I started playing with Haskell and I use Vim. I have autoindent on in my vimrc, but it seems to not be aware of haskell somehow. I would like to autoindent work in some cases where it doesn't (for example, after = and newline). How can I customize autoindentation rules in vim? (I googled it, but every site suggested turning autoindent...
