I've recently invested some time in learning to use vi proficiently, beyond the basic hjkl movement and i/Esc I've installed the Vrapper plug-in for eclipse as well... but since I find eclipse to be full of features but bloated as hell I've done some research on how to use Vi/m as an IDE. I recommend to everyone eager to learn Vim, this free book A byte of Vim - http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim There are a number of Vim scripts to ease developing, and thus making Vim become more of an IDE. For example: Vim trinity http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2347 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2347 includes the useful NERD_tree, taglist and srcexpl NERD_commenter http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1218 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1218 mru.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=521 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=521 xml.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1397 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1397 There are many more plugins, and a lot of language-dependent plugins to help you develop in your language of choice, be it java, ruby, python, C, etc I guess a great part of HN users are already masters of Vi/m, but I thougt this could be helpful for those still in their path to Virvana
