Any tips or good plugins for writing HTML with vim? Two things that I'd find really helpful: A command to jump from a tag to the corresponding close tag (like jump from <div> to </div>) A command to replace the contents of the open and close tag at the same time (like if I replace <h1> with <h2> it will simultaneously replace </h1> with </h2>)

The HTML ones I could not live without are: Snipmate: https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate Define your own snippets to poop out blocks of HTML you use frequently quickly Sparkup: https://github.com/tristen/vim-sparkup Write HTML super fast! Non-plugin command that is wonderful for HTML (which you probalby already know): cit Will, from anywhere in the contents of a tag (say, the text inside an H1) remove it and put you in edit mode. Those thing you find helpful would be very, very cool. I don't know if they exist, but it makes me want to learn to write vim plugins.

I don't even use vim full time, but you'll probably find emmet.vim really useful. It's great on sublime text. e: It seems sparkup does the same thing and if Lumpy is recommending it, it must be better. sharktamer fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Apr 25, 2014 |

Without changing its configuration, you'd put your cursor over the first h1, hit <C-n> twice to enter multicursor mode and select the current word, hit <C-x> once for each of the nested h1s you have , and when it highlights the closing h1, press c then type h2.If you don't have any nested h1s, that'd reduce to <C-n><C-n>ch2<Esc>. Usually when I'm refactoring my code, I want to replace all of my variable names, so I can just mash on <C-n> until everything is matched, but sometimes that granularity of being able to skip some matches comes in handy.

I used to have a shortcut that would open a fullscreen list of all open buffers that you could scroll through and switch to with <enter>. It wasn't :ls, and I'm sure it wasn't a plugin. Any ideas?

Anyone tried out trackperlvars.vim yet? It's a handy plugin for dealing with Perl variables since it understands the different variable types (so it doesn't get confused when you want to move from definitions to uses, or globally rename a variable), but it's also supposed to highlight all uses of a variable when you put the cursor over one and that part doesn't seem to be working. e. Turns out it only defines highlights for terminal Vim. Easily fixed. jony neuemonic fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Aug 10, 2014 |

I have become addicted to Vim keys / modal editing for programming, and also completion for C++. The problem is, what I'm using for completion/semantic completion, YouCompleteMe, while it works well, makes Vim slow to a crawl after an unpredictable amount of time between 30 minutes and two hours. I have tried everything to resolve this and it appears to be a YCM issue that the developer is unwilling/unable to address. I know there are several other options, a big one being NeoCompleteCache, but I just want to hear what people are using for this and what has worked well for them instead of trying out a hundred other plugins and realizing I don't like them. Has anybody found a C++ completion engine that just works? A big bonus is the ability to do semantic completion based on standard libraries, and an even bigger bonus is the ability to do semantic completion on third-party libraries, but I'm willing to go with something that's a little simpler, as long as it gets variable names and such. Should I just suck it up and buy Sublime2/vintage mode? Does that emulate the whole modal editing thing sufficiently?

clang-complete works in much the same way as YCM. I used it for a long time before switching to YCM.

I use ctags quite a bit for my auto-complete, although that doesn't help much with libraries. Instead, now I just read the documentation in Dash or Zeal, which is definitely not as efficient.

I actually figured this out. It turns out that I was syntax highlighting was slowing everything down, so I added "syntax sync minlines=256" to and took out "set t_Co=256" from my vimrc and it's fast.

Hey guys, I'm transitioning into using vim for my script writing at work and was curious if anyone has developed powershell scripts in vim before. Syntax highlighting exists, but I'm curious if there are any code completion extensions, because the only thing really keeping me on the Powershell ISE is the sheer awesomeness of Show-Command and Out-GridView for when I need to visualize the actual powershell objects. It might be that I should be in the mode of "using the right tools for the right job" but if I could keep the focus entirely in vim for my script writing then I think that would make more sense productivity wise.

Does anyone know if there is a way to customize the behavior of spell check based on syntax. For example, I currently have it configured to only spell check strings and comments; however, a lot of the times in the comments I may refer to a function or class by name (which it will obviously interpret as misspelled). Ideally I would like for spell check to automatically add all class and function names to the dictionary that way when they are referred to in the comments, it is only marked as misspelled if it's a) not a word and b) not a valid function or class name.

Is there a git plugin that will add an extra column beside the line numbers telling me if a line is added or changed? I had that feature in an IDE and thought it was pretty handy.

If I interact with vim exclusively through ssh to a cluster of computers I don't control (my university's computer lab), how much can I do to make C code easier to edit? For my first couple of projects I've gone with vim as a pure editor, meaning that there's no intellisense or any real assistance from vim at all. Just basic syntax hilighting seems to work out of the box. Most of the info in the OP seems to assume that I have access to install plugins, which I don't. Can I do anything to make my life easier? I tried working on my projects in Visual Studio for a while, but most of our projects depend on Linux syscalls and target the Linux environment so it proved to quickly become too annoying to constantly scp my source back to the lab computers to test it.

OK, so I figured out how to use vundle and make a vimrc, but it looks like clang_complete needs clang installed to work. How would I go about installing clang to my home directory? All the installation steps I can find assume I have full control of the machine.

In that case I'd suggest looking into tags with vim. That should be simple to set up and it'll give you completion of your own code and an easy way to bounce around in it.

Well, it turns out the versions of GCC and Python on the school's computers are too old to even build llvm and clang. I don't suppose there's any other ways to get basic code completion for the standard C libraries, is there? I mostly just want it to catch when I typo printf to pritnf for the millionth time and remind me what the parameters are for library functions. Popping back and forth between the terminal and manpages is time-consuming when I just can't remember the order of parameters for a certain function.

The only C code completion plugins I know of (YouCompleteMe and clang-complete) rely on clang. Also this is not really a helpful suggestion but you could always just open the man pages from inside vim with :!man 2 open

You can also use ctags for basic completion (and navigation).

Not as far as I know - gVim's GUI is pretty minimal, and can be turned completely off if it bugs you. I don't think there's a way to get hi-color mode (i.e. nice, pretty colorschemes) to work in the standard windows console version of vim. I think you may be able to get that working in cygwin or mingw but I've never tried because  Anyway, vim and gvim will both use the same config file, so you can switch back and forth effortlessly.
