Revision as of 00:41, 23 April 2008

Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labeled for deletion.

Archives: 1234

I have moved items that I believe we've agreed on to the next archive page (all current items will eventually end up on that page). Please view archive 4 to confirm that you agree. If you want to disagree or add a comment, please edit that archive page (a little unusual, but it's not actually an archive yet). I'm doing this so we can more easily see what remains to be sorted out.

Tip 754 Highlighting source between matching curly braces

Note that I did not merge the body of the tip, it is ugly, slow, and even seems to crash Vim at times, v% does almost the same and works better. -- User:Carpetsmoker 12:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


I disagree. This tip is something entirely different, providing syntax highlighting for matching parentheses. Some people might like to have that, even if it is slow. HOWEVER, much better methods include v% as mentioned, or simply using 'matchparen'. These should be mentioned in the tip and made clear that they may be superior methods. But remember, someone found this tip useful at some point.

It is slow, and it has a bad karma. Yet it answers a concern. No need for deletion. The tip can be fixed, even if it can be summarized by: install rainbow_parenthesis --Luc Hermitte 00:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Tip 172 Using Ispell on a highlighted region

While I agree that this tip is kind of silly – Vim's built-in spelling works perfectly fine for me – I know that other people really prefer to use their own spelling program (Ispell, Aspell, etc.) for reasons of their own (they already have an extensive dictionary built up, they prefer the interface, etc.). I think we should keep this tip, but edit it to make it abundantly clear that Vim has built-in spelling support. Perhaps we could keep the deprecated template but remove the delete template.

--Fritzophrenic 13:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


Indeed, aspell implements one of the finest engine for suggesting alternatives. Which means even if vim provides an on-the-fly spell-checker, and even if there exists 6 (or more) spell checking plugins, I don't see the point in deleting this tip.

May be there is a need for a tip about spell checking in vim that also explain how to use the external spell checkers? As I don't see any duplicate tag, I suppose there is none.

Ok, keep.
