Hi, I am rather new to VIM. I got some source code and this is a mess. At a first sight I would like at least to get a clear and organised view of the code, so I like to get it rightly formatted, I mean indented depending on the depth of the functions and so. I wonder if it can be done with VIM, and otherwise which other commandline t...
There's a few "how do I invert a regexp" questions here on stackoverflow, but I can't find one for vim (if it does exist, by goggle-fu is lacking today).

I've moved from TextMate to Vim lately, and am really liking the switch. However, I have an itch regarding the way Vim handles indentation within curly braces using the CSS syntax. I use simple_pairs.vim, which may or may not have something to do with my problem, but I don't think so, as things work fine in PHP, JavaScript, etc. Let me e...

After installing gVim and running gvim from the run window, if I were to type :cd followed by a tab, I will get \AppData, \Application Data, etc. Which basically means I'm at my $HOME directory (C:\Users\Fabian).

Is there a way to set up vim so that it automatically detects the correct one?

I currently work with both Visual Studio, Eclipse/Rad, and Vim heavily. Visual Studio and Eclipse don't present any problems because they're the same paradigm. However vim (which I use for my *nix work) muddles the issue because it's modal. I actually like the modal nature of vim and find myself trying to type esc k k in Visual Studio...
