Isn't the latency of vim on a remote server distracting? Or is your ping low enough to not be noticeable?
I've thought about this kind of setup, but I think I'd need vim to be running locally (but working on files from a remote filesystem - vim can do this).
- anjc 15y agoCan you or somebody expand on that last bit...run vim locally on remote files? How? How does this improve lag? Any downsides to it? This would save me so much bother.
- 6ren 15y agoI haven't done it in ages, but a quick google shows gives an example (BTW google beats vim :help if you don't know the command name) http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Edit_remote_files_locally_via_SCP/RCP/FTP http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Edit_remote_files_locally_via_SCP/... vim scp://konimi@vim.org//var/www/html/rtc_functions.php i.e. you just start vim with the address preceded by the protocol name (here it's scp, but also works for ftp and rcp). The "konimi@" is the syntax for username. You might need to set up SSH passwords for scp on the remote (that's a whole other thing to research)
