Working on web stuff, in windows, to be hosted on linux. Completing paths with ^X^F automatically inserts "\" as the path separator on windows, which is quite correct, but not what I want, so: Is there a way I can tell it to use "/" as the path separator for auto-completion regardless of OS? ...
In Vim I am trying to paste a few lines: PROC SQL; CONNECT TO DB2(DSN=test); CREATE TABLE test AS SELECT * FROM CONNECTION TO DB2 ( above every line starting with "select" and ); quit; below every line that ends with "FOR FETCH ONLY" Is there a way to use the paste buffer?

I have these lines in my ~/.inputrc: set editing-mode vi set keymap vi This allows me to use vi keybindings in every program that uses GNU readlines for text input. Examples: python, irb, sftp, bash, sqlite3, and so on. It makes working with a command line a breeze. Matlab doesn't use readlines, but vi keybindings would be amazing...
I am using mvim with plugin JavaScriptLint. It works great. However sometimes I work on jQuery or other JavaScript libraries and every single time I save the file, I get tons of warning and cursor moves to the very first warning. What I would like to have is some way to turn this feature On or off. Something like :set enableJavaScript...
I use several different programming languages every day, and I'd like to have different tab widths (in spaces) for each. For example: I use the "standard" 2 spaces for Ruby, but all our existing Matlab code uses 4 spaces. I have this from my personal ~/.vimrc: augroup lang_perl au! set tabstop=4 " tabstop length N in spaces ...

Using macvim, when I copy a text selection, it always includes the character under the cursor. For example, if the cursor is at the far left and I press shift-down arrow, it selects the entire line plus the first character of the next line (since the cursor is sitting over the next line's first character). Is there a way to configure m...

The following code is inside my .vimrc and generally restores the last cursor position of a file I opened with vim: autocmd BufReadPost * \ if line("'\"") > 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | \ exe "normal! g`\"" | \ endif I really like this feature and want to leave it turned on, except for one file: When commiting with git, vim...

Hi everyone I would like to do the following: 1) Serialize my class 2) Also manually edit the serialization dump file to remove certain objects of my class which I find unnecessary.

I'm using both the supertab and snipmate plugins. Let's say I'm using snipmate to create an if statement structure. Once I'm done adding statements inside the if-statement, how can I quickly move the cursor after the if-statement. For example: if [ $a = "b" ]; then bla; fi If my cursor is right on the semicolon and I'm in insert mod...
