Still Yet More VIM
I really need to stop exploring the territory and get down to really using what I’ve learned. And I will. But having been a bad boy, here’s some more stuff to investigate.
VIM can be used to handle GMail. It looks like it’s got a lot of power. Look here. It’s written in Ruby, which is even cooler. Dan Choi, who wrote it has the latest source on GitHub.
Then there’s the subject of refactoring in VIM. Here’s an entry with some C# examples. Not too impressive at a glance.
Matchit for VIm here makes the ‘%’ operators more effective.
List of refactorings here.
LH Refactor here.
VIM for Ruby refactoring here.
Incomplete here
Renamer here.
Vim-refact here.
Graphviz is here.
A programming tool that I want to investigate is eclim. Eclim is the marriage of Eclipse and VIM. By running headless Eclipse and using VIM to control it through some API you can get Eclipse functionality through a VIM interface.
From Ajay Somani, a Google engineer in India, a bunch of ViM tips and tricks. One good one is :earlier and :later, which lets you jump forward and back in time through your edits.
Maybe it’s time I got a book on VIM. I’m trying to decide between The O’Reilly book Learning the Vi and VIM editors. and a less well-known publisher’s “Hacking VIM 7.2 by Kim Schultz.
