Using VIM 10

Posted by tottinger Fri, 20 Apr 2007 06:19:00 GMT

It isn’t done yet, but I figured I would post my work in progress in the meantime for feedback. It’s a little article about the proper use of the VIM editor. I tried to mix in some keystroke quick-reference with the philosophy of the tool in a way that might make it a bit more accessible.

When it’s done (Ha!) I will probably find new places to store it, but for now it’s at my personal blog.

Don’t be afraid to offer corrective assistance, or to recommend sections.

    Good stuff Tim, I recently had a couple posts on Vim, a great tool:

    Also, it’s worth noting that executing :!% will shell out and execute the current file.

    Thanks for the :!% bit! I will include that in my section on using external commands.

    I keep editing the vim page, reorganizing and improving it. Hopefull it will be an important resource someday. I just hope it doesn’t become too comprehensive so that it’s overwhelming entirely.

    Maybe I’ll make a specific section on “Agile Vim”?

    My thought now is that an agile management tool won’t help unless it is something we have to live with all the time, during pairing, as part of the test/code/refactor cycle. It has to be in our faces, over our heads, and not just tickling the edge of our awareness like a more polite version of “clippy”.
