    I wonder why you were voted down (not answering OP question to the letter?) -- that's one of the nicest references I've seen.
    • jacquesm 17y ago
      Downvoting seems to be in fashion lately. I've noticed a lot of perfectly good comments voted down without any apparent cause, only to float back up later on. This is something of the last two weeks or so, before that it was happening too, but much less frequently.
      • weaksauce 17y ago
        Could it have something to do with the mechanism for voting and the prevalence of iPhones? I think it would be the cats meow if when detecting the iPhone or any mobile browser the down vote arrow was moved to the right of the title bar area. I say this because my fat fingered attempt at upvoting a comment has the reverse effect of my intent on many occasion. PG, Are you still looking for a specific iPhone interface?
        • chrischen 17y ago
          Me too, I've done this on occasion on my iPhone. The arrows are so small and close together. If you see capitalized words in the middle of a sentence Like this, that too is the iPhone's fault.

  • pyre 17y ago
    map ^C "+y Ugh. I couldn't do that. C-c is a shortcut to exit Insert Mode or to stop a command (similar to C-g usage in Emacs or mutt). map ^S :%s\/^M\/\/g Be careful with that on terminals. C-s is usually mapped in with flow control on terminals.

  Nothing. I work on many different systems from time to time. I don't like to get too used to things that aren't universal. I have found out (the hard way) that relying on convenience can bite you in the ass when it's 3AM and you've been up for 67 consecutive hours and you execute some keystrokes from habit and they don't do what you expected. I'll admit, I probably cripple my productivity overall for working this way, but it's what I'm used to.

    • brk 17y ago
      Most of my work the last few years has been in the compliance and IT or Physical security (or converged) space. The machines I am working on are not my own, and often have no access to the Internet directly. However, I'm generally doing more "editing" than "coding" so it's not a major limitation anyway.
  • pyre 17y ago
    > I have found out (the hard way) that relying on convenience can bite you in the ass when it's 3AM and you've been up for 67 consecutive hours and you execute some keystrokes from habit and they don't do what you expected. You really could say that about anything. You could say that one shouldn't program in dynamically-typed languages because 'one day' you'll have to program in a statically-typed language and all your habits will 'bite you in the ass.' I think that you should really blame this part: > and you've been up for 67 consecutive hours Unless you're trying out for the SEALS, I don't think this is normally part of any job description. And I hardly think this is some sort of 'common case' that you should be planning for. There's a difference between preparing for the worst and over-preparing for the worst.
    • brk 17y ago
      Don't get me wrong, there are many conveniences that I DO use. However, for editors I've just always preferred to stay as basic and reliable as possible. vi is quick, easy, simple and has been on every *nix machine that I've ever walked up to. Relying on customizitions beyond that is, for me, sub-optimal. I have had more than a handful of workdays that spanned 2 or 3 or 4 continuous days with little or no sleep at all (although thankfully not in several years). In those cases we were usually recovering from planned maintenance gone wrong. In one case I was trying to edit/update some config files, force software upgrades into a bunch core switches and dispatch pilots with spare parts. It was helpful, to me, to be able to rely on the basics as I hopped through SSH sessions from server to server (but, I did use host keys to speed my logins). My case is moreso for edits and small customizations and not long sessions of coding, so I really don't NEED a whole lot beyond the basics of what I can memorize.

  • tsally 17y ago
    Consider doing this instead: let mapleader = "," " let g:mapleader = "," map <Leader>q :q!<CR> map <Leader>s :w<CR> map <Leader>w :x<CR> The mapleader is basically used to give your custom keybindings a separate namespace. It looks like that's what your doing here, but using the variable makes it easier to change later f you want.
    • bnmrrs 17y ago
      Good idea, I'll have to add that.
• tsally 17y ago
  Do this to prevent yourself from learning the arrow keys while learning: map <down> <nop> map <left> <nop> map <right> <nop> map <up> <nop> imap <down> <nop> imap <left> <nop> imap <right> <nop> imap <up> <nop> (There's actually a recently reported bug that causes the up arrow to do some strange things, but you get the idea).
  • nfnaaron 17y ago
    As you say, that's a good way to force your fingers to learn the way of h, j, k and l. I started with vi so long ago that I remember being surprised around five years ago when I accidentally discovered that vim knows about the arrow keys. So I've never had to un-learn the arrow keys. You may want to turn them back on eventually. It's nice to be able to move the cursor without thinking about it, whether your hands are on the keyboard, over the arrow keys or on the mouse, sort of like being able to play the chord you want no matter where your hand is on the fretboard. As for my .vimrc, there are years of settings and commands I never use and can't remember what for, like junk DNA. I enjoy discovering and sharing the occasional treat, but I've gone pretty much meat and potatoes over the years. Depending on your setup, your ruler (:set ruler) may or may not always show the file. This will make it always show: set statusline=%<%F\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P I like the tabula colorscheme, which you can find on vim.org: colorscheme tabula I like smartcase: set ic set smartcase and I like the ability to override it when I search: /\Cfindonlylowercaseinstances (:help, and then look in chapter usr_27.txt)
• pyre 17y ago
  A good line to memorize: :set et sts=4 sw=4 ts=4 et = expandtab (spaces instead of tabs) ts = tabstop (the number of spaces that a tab equates to) sw = shiftwidth (the number of spaces to use when indenting -- or de-indenting -- a line) sts = softtabstop (the number of spaces to use when expanding tabs) Also you might want to move 'colorscheme twilight' into the ~/.gvimrc file instead; it makes the .vimrc file cleaner when you separated out all of the gui-specific stuff. My full vimrc and setup is here: http://github.com/bsandrow/vimc http://github.com/bsandrow/vimc {edit} Another good one: noremap Y y$ By default Y is mapped to the equivalent of yy. This makes Y act like the 'copy/yank' equivalent of D. {/edit}

    Going into an old codebase and just running ':set list' with just the default listchars is maddening enough. The mixes of tabs and whitespace characters is enough to drive one batty. Especially when you find files where someone was using tabs, but with the 'ts=8' or 'ts=2' rather than 'ts=4'.

Ah yes, here we go: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821100 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821100 Here's a repost of my comment from that thread: I've been using Vim for over ten years now, across several jobs and platforms and tasks, so my .vimrc and .gvimrc have gathered quite a bit of cruft. I keep them in a git repository along with my various other generically useful config files, and just check them out on each new machine I get an account on. There's too much stuff in these files to describe what everything does, but there's a lot of comments, so along with the Vim online help you should be able to figure everything out: .vimrc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/270714/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/270714/ .gvimrc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/270716/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/270716/ Highlights include a single key-binding for stepping through every buffer in every tab, consistent mouse-handling between console-vim and gvim, and code to automatically make gvim inherit the GNOME default monospace font.

  The interesting stuff only: set showbreak=>\ set wildignore=*.bak,*.pyc,*.swp set wildmenu set wildmode=list:longest This is actually quicker than reaching for ESC most of the time: inoremap <C-s> <ESC> vnoremap <C-s> <ESC> Tab switching: noremap <C-l> gt noremap <C-h> gT Something useful for syntax file writing: noremap <F6> :echo synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 1), "name")<CR>

  Here are just a couple things I find really useful day to day. I used to have a timeout that would revert to normal mode from insert mode after about 30 seconds if idle, but I got tired of that after about six months and just got in the habit of hitting Escape when I finished with an insert action. I did it just now, even though this is a textarea. " For (ab)use with :sp map <C-j> <C-W>j<C-W>_ map <C-k> <C-W>k<C-W>_ set wmh=0 so=999 winheight=999 nnoremap i :noh<CR>i " \s is global-replace-this-word :nnoremap <Leader>s :%s/\<<C-r><C-w>\>//g<Left><Left>
