Re: help optimizing typing (less arrow keys), and does Vim support electric brackets?

Just in case you discover you are annoyed by this mapping : You may want to check if there is text after the cursor before inserting the closing tocken, e.g. autoclosing a " (a double quote) can be annoying if you just wanted to comment something in you vimrc. I use this mapping to avoid this situ

Re: How to use vim tabs like other editors' tabs

Perhaps (as in gVim these tabs looks like tabs you will find in all other programs) the design of tabs or the naming should change. How about work: instead of tab: with a second tab layers with your buffers so that you have the feeling they act as a workspace. Are buffers always attached to one t

Completing phrases

I have a question about completion. Here's some background: I'm writing text files that will contain the tags for my flac collection. Each one of these tag files contains the tags for several flac files; I have a script that uses metaflac to read off the tags for each flac file from the tag file.

alt-backspace?

Hi, on the commandline (zsh) I often use Alt-backspace to delete the word before the cursor. Is there any way to map a vim command (-sequence) to Alt-backspace to do the same ? Have a nice week! Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absol

$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/muttrc.vim - filetype incorrectly detected - Vim 7.1.

Taking a look at /usr/share/vim/vim71/syntax/muttrc.vim, I noticed that there was none of the usual syntax hightlighting. When I issued a ":set ft?", I found out that vim had set the file type to "mail" instead of "vim". On an older debian "etch" system with vim 7.0, this does not happen. I t

Tilde character - I'd like to get rid of the "~" character that signals lines beyond file end.

I had previously made these (to me) annoying ~'s invisible by specifying "ctermfg=Black ctermbg=Black" for the "NonText" highlight group, but there is a caveat, namely that the end-of-line "$" character that by default is used to visualize the end-of-line in "list" also became invisible. I co
