  • MacVIM as TextMate replacement

    Posted on Aug. 3, 2008 at 17:05 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    TextMate is one of the coolest editors around thanks to its Snippet-feature, ease of extensibility and community support. But more and more I saw myself using VIM instead of TextMate for one reason or another, but mainly because I'm just so used to searching with / and using :s for search-and-replace. And MacVIM helped quite a lot too, thanks to its pretty nice integration into OSX.

    Today I tried two plugins for vim that move it pretty close to what TextMate has to offer (not that vim is less powerful than TM or something, but some gems are just too well hidden ;-) ): snippetsEmu for snippets and NERD_tree as a replacement for the project-drawer.

  • 25h sequences in VIM?

    I'm currently evaluating FreeBSD as some kind of alternative to Gentoo for one of my machines I naturally also installed VIM right away. A little bit later I noticed a quite annoying problem: In the upper left corner the string "25h" which seemed to be the rest of some loose escape sequence. The same string also got appended to the rendering of any character I wrote.

    Argh... now spammers have also found the VIM tip archive for their dirty work. I just hope that this won't happen on a regular basis otherwise Scott Johnston will have to re-think adding some spam protection.

  • Intending multiple lines at once

    Posted on Feb. 24, 2005 at 18:59 +0100 Tagged with

    I just noticed something quite funny. I often have to intend multiple lines (blocks, whatever) of code because I added for example an if-condition somewhere in my code or something like that. Now you could intend every single line manually which is quite a big pain when the new block is quite long.
