 What are people's thoughts on spf-13? I've been using it for a while now with some minor tweaks (mostly to remove some plugins I don't use, and to add in ragtag) and it seems to work out OK. It's definitely a bit bloated, though.

Anyways! I'd like to learn Vim this summer. I briefly read over your OP and was wondering if you, or any other users have any tips for beginners.

Remap H to ^ (beginning of line) and L to $ (end of line). Stumbled on it in someone's .vimrc a while back and now I can't live without it. ; to : is good too, saves hitting shift every time you want to use a command.

 I'm not an expert (hell, I've never even used vimscript for anything) so this is completely just spitballing. But this part:

ArcticZombie posted:

\='<p id="'.n.'">'/ -- I get that this is the replacement part of the s command and I can see the different parts of it but it starts with an escaped equals sign, has quotes surrounding it and the variable part and some periods around the variable too?

Looks like it's doing string concatenation to me ( <p id -", the variable n, and "> joined by the . operator). The escaped equals sign looks like it tells Vim to not literally replace <p> with '<p id="'.n.'">' (Take a look here).

edit: Removed a misunderstanding on my part.

:help for / :for :confused:

EDIT:
For example:
:for i in range(10) | echo i | endfor

Whoops, I apparently mistook "doesn't support the exact same syntax" for "doesn't support for loops." Edited my post.

anyone using powerline for vim? https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline

I'm using airline, same idea though. They're both really good.

 I finally got motivated to sit down and rewrite my vim config. Despite getting over the "turn VIM into an IDE" bug and slimming it down by 1/3rd it's still 125 lines. :psyduck:

Sure runs a lot better, though.

I recently found out that you can now set 'relativenumber' and 'number' at the same time, and vim will show an absolute line number for current line and relative line numbers for the rest.



And if you use numbers.vim you also get relative numbering in normal mode, and absolute in insert mode as a bonus. :science:

I get something similar with:
code:
" Relative Numbering
set number
set relativenumber
autocmd InsertEnter * :set relativenumber!
autocmd InsertLeave * :set relativenumber
autocmd WinEnter * :setlocal relativenumber
autocmd WinLeave * :setlocal relativenumber!

Slick, I'll have to tinker with that. Not that numbers is an overly large plugin but hey, one less thing to install.

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>)

He (accidentally?) wiped the readme, but I always liked Tim Pope's Ragtag. There's a walkthrough here, it's similar to Emmett/Sparkup though admittedly with less features.

 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.
