Depends on your definition of 'name' and your system/formalization of the act of reference and/or semantics. In this case, 'name' seems to mean 'proper name', and there are systems explaining proper names as symbols used to refer , but not

Most of the things of such kind are available as vim plugins (for the 'open file without path' thing, see e.g. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=858 ) - you can then remap those new commands to keys/shortcuts.

Yes, that's what I was thinking exactly. And a good idea re: trying to work for a bit without a .vimrc (or maybe re-adding basic shortcuts later on and ending up with a very minimalist vimrc).

For anyone still curious after watching the TED talk, also see the Almaden Cognitive Computing 2006 series - these presentations are technically intense (cellular biology, beyond-pop neuroscience) but(/and) enjoyable. The second one in the

(It seems that vimtutor on Linux also doesn't take your .vimrc into account; I think that's by design?)

I generally agree. At the same time, it's good to have tools for such edge cases - there are some papers in niche journals etc. which play a part in science but may not be easily attainable (again, because e.g. public libraries do not pay f

If I recall the story correctly, they gave the elephant other drugs, too (to counter the effects of LSD after some hours/time into the experiment), and some of those countering drugs had associated known LD-50 (probably not measured for ele

The only differences being, when you close vim, the scratch buffer does not yield a save prompt, and also, if you open a scratch buffer, then close it, and then reopen it again with :Scratch during the same vim session, any leftover content

Not if you only set up a Tor node to be used as an internal relay within Tor network (you're doing a good job nonetheless), not as a tor exit (exit point to internet/clearnet). The latter ones are those that might get some heat. As long as
