Hey Nick, If you are relatively new to vim, I suggest that you start using the inbuilt help (:help) as much as possible. There a couple of plugins that might make writing code a lot easier: 1. Nerd Tree 2. Nerd Commenter 3. Matchit 4. Surround.vim 5. Syntastic 6. Pyclewn (google for them, or search on vim's site) I have not used pyclewn myself; I am mostly into Ruby. It might be advantageous for you considering you are doing C++. P.S. : Have a look at Bram's article called "Seven Habbits of Effective Text Editing" [1] if you have some time.
