Hello Torry,
Most add-on scripts (and also some handy tips) for Vim are kept at the
Vim-online site http://www.vim.org/ . Follow the "Search" link in the
left margin if you want to search for something particular. If you get
null search results, you might try searching for a synonym.
Otherwise, if you could describe the feature you want in "absolute" (or
at least "vim-relative") terms, rather than give just the name of an
Emacs feature and a link to some page where an Emacs add-on can be
downloaded, the Vim users on this list (some of whom never used Emacs
and many of whom don't know Lisp) could more easily say whether or not
that feature has been or can be implemented, and if yes, how.
Sorry.
I did search at the Vim-online site, together with this maillist archieve,
with no luck.
I thought a quick look at the link I provided would be enough to know what I'm
looking for.
Best Regards,
Raymond
Well, I took a "quick look" at it, and even went as far as looking at
its FAQ, of which I couldn't make head nor tail. In the meantime I see
you've received some replies by other people. If they aren't
satisfactory, try to explain what you want in such way that people with
no particular knowledge (and no knowledge at all of Emacs) would
understand what you mean. If you can do that, I'm sure that more people
will answer, and I believe that sooner or later you'll get something
that you can use. However, even though I don't know Emacs, I've been
told that Emacs and Vim have quite different approaches to editing;
maybe you won't find "identically the same" as what you've been using
with Emacs.
Best regards,
Tony.
P.S. And that's ToNy, short for "Anthony". :-)
