Comments on: How I learned to stop worrying and love Vim buffers http://eseth.org/2007/vim-buffers Making close friends suffer through crappy writing since aught-one.

I guess I could be considered an oldguy when it comes to using VI... Here are my favorite VIM features: 1. Unlimited undo 2. macros 3. vertical select/cut/paste 4. key mappings. Favorite key mappings:</p> <pre> " Duplicate Ctrl-A "increment" mapping: map + " Display "Handy Listing" of files we've edited this session: map - :files:e# " Edit file-name under cursor: map _ :e " c style comment out line map co i/* A awj */ " c style un-comment out line map cu xxx$6hD " insert mode abbreviations. Hit tab after the iab string: iab Xmod Written: Xdate By: AWJ iab Xdate =strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S") </pre>

I know enough vi[m] to get around in a pinch, but you have crossed over to the devotee side of the line (not that there's anything wrong with that). I admire your tenacious spirit. :) Oh, and I'm jealous that you get to use vim. I'm going to be even more in the other camp at my new job, but it pays the bills--and I should run something else at home just for variety.</p> Seth, you are hard core!
