* autocomplete - say that I've declared a constant variable in Perl named MY_CONSTANT, later, to have the editor fill it in, I type in MY_, and some other key-stroke, and "CONSTANT" gets typed in for you
Ctrl-N
* goto when compiling - when compiling with make for example, and there is a problem in the code identified by a line, can vim somehow know to go to that line? this would be especially useful with 'make'
:he makeprg :he quickfix :he :cn
* rectangular cut/pastes - if I have a column (multi-row) of text that I'd like to paste on several lines, can I do this without a regex?
:he ctrl-v (visual block select)
* cvs/diff mode - what support does vim offer for these two apps, internal to the editor.
:he vimdiff Search vim.sf.net for cvscommand.vim
I'll be glad to RTFM for all of these things, however I don't know where to look them up - any pointers would be appreciated!
