Thanks for your kind comment! I'm glad the article and cheat sheet are useful and appreciated. I got started with vi(m) about 3 years ago. I did actually do some development on AIX over 10 years ago (that system looked like a washing machine!), but I didn't get hooked with vi(m) until I really did a lot of development on a laptop with horrible keys: http://blog.ngedit.com/2005/06/03/the-vi-input-model/ http://blog.ngedit.com/2005/06/03/the-vi-input-model/ Your .vimrc is much more complex than mine! But very nice in any case, I should steal a trick or two from there. A detail I remember about the AIX system headers: their math.h defined a function called 'class'. I had to do some #defining around that to get them to work with the C++ compiler! It was '96 or so, so they should have taken C++ into account already. Duh. At least it wasn't as horrible as windows.h and its accomplices.
