Hi, everyone.
If I in a C file, and try to jump to the definition of one function
with CTRL-] key, but if the file is modified, I must save the file at
first, is there any way to avoid saving file?
I like to just :set hidden, which keeps all buffers in memory even when
they are not visible. I tend to think the default, which doesn't do
this is a holdover from when memory was much more expensive.
Hope this is helpful.

An alternative, which I use (having unsaved stuff out of view gives me
the shivers) is to use 'autowriteall' instead, so that when leaving a
modified buffer (a named one, of course), Vim will save it before
loading something else in its stead. (When I _don't_ want to write a
'modified' named buffer I close it with :q!, or maybe :enew!, as soon as
I'm done with it. I usually do it even for an unnamed one but in that
case it's less critical since there's nothing it can erase.) That could
be a leftover from the discipline I learnt on Dos 3 with PC-Write, an
editor which could have up to 2 split-windows, but only the current one
was in memory, and leaving it triggered an auto-write operation.
Or you could use Ctrl-W Ctrl-] (or Ctrl-W ] ) instead of Ctrl-] to go to
the source definition in a split window, or even ":tab wincmd ]"
(without the quotes) to open the definition in a new tabpage.
Best regards,
Tony.

in the newspaper and asks his scientist grandson to explain it to him.
"Well, zayda, it's sort of like this. Einstein says that if
you're having your teeth drilled without Novocain, a minute seems like
an hour. But if you're sitting with a beautiful woman on your lap, an
hour seems like a minute."
The old man considers this profound bit of thinking for a
moment and says, "And from this he makes a living?"
