I have a ~/.vimrc file that vim doesn't seem to be reading. There is a file at /etc/vimrc, and it looks like it is using that one. My understanding is that the one in the home directory should override this one, shouldn't it? Update cat vim_strace | grep .vimrc stat64("/etc/vimrc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1438, ...}) = 0 ...

I write a lot of code and tired of pressing shift each time I need a special character. And since I use special chars much often, then numbers, I want to reverse shift behavior on them. So, if I type <4> I'll get '$' and if I type <shift>+<4> I'll get '4' and so on for each number. This mapping should work only in insert mode. I've...
I like to use hlsearch but I hate to keep everything highlighted after searching, to solve this problem I could simply use :nohlsearch or an abbreviation of it but that is still to much effort so I decided to try to do that on pressing escape. What I came up with is: nnoremap <ESC> :nohlsearch<CR> This works exactly as I want it to in...

I'm learning ruby on rails on a linux box and dusting off my VIM skills (skillz?). When I got started on VIM way back in my c++ days, I had a friend with a great vimfiles folder that had tons of stuff to get started. Starting from scratch, vim is great, but it feels like it could be a lot better. I currently have: vim-ruby buffer ...

I am using XP SP3 and have installed vim 7.3. I was following a how-to I found here in a previous thread on configuring vim for a python editor. http://www.sontek.net/post/Python-with-a-modular-IDE-%28Vim%29.aspx I am getting an error when starting gvim that it cannot find python27.dll. This is correct I don't have python 2.7 installed...

I want to keep my Vim and Emacs configurations under version control, but I don't want my entire home folder there (or rather, I do, but there should be 3 separate repositories). With Emacs it's easy; if ~/.emacs doesn't exist, then ~/.emacs.d/init.el is used as the init file. So I can have a separate Git repo in ~/.emacs.d/. With Vim, i...
I have this shortcut in my vimrc: map cmt :!start TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"%" /closeonend:3 <CR> What this does is whenever I press 'cmt', vim will open the commit dialog for the file I'm currently editing with vim. What I'd like to do is write this command in such a way that if I put a number in front of it, it will o...
I'm planning to send emails from inside of VIM via SendEmail, but I have run into some problems. When piping part of the buffer (or the whole buffer) into SendEmail via the bang (!) operator, the text in my buffer gets replaced with SendEmail's output. So my first question is: how do I pipe a range into an external command and discard ...
When dealing with .vimrc configuration files in Linux and Windows (two systems I've been using so far) and trying to keep configurations cross-platform, I've found mainly two solutions: Create a new folder for vim files in /home/user, so both systems have the same vim dirname (instead of default .vim in linux and vimfiles in Windows), ...
