Asking questions

Questions about Vim should be sent to the Vim mailing list. On this wiki, we discuss how to improve tips, but we don't discuss how to use Vim.

Questions about the Vim Tips wiki are best discussed on the vim-l mailing list. You are also welcome to edit the Talk (Discussion) page of any active user. You could view the recent changes, and click any blue Talk link (blue links refer to pages which exist), or edit the talk page of any active user.
