Vim Tips Wiki

Advertisement

This wiki was created in June 2007 by importing the tips from http://www.vim.org/tips/ (see notes on the import).

Since that time, many tips have been refactored, and new tips have been added (see new tips). This page lists the ids (1 to 1504 inclusive) of the imported tips, showing the original authors. It is likely that author names will be removed from old tips, particularly where a significant amount of editing has occurred on this wiki, and where the author has not been active in the wiki or the wider Vim community for an extended period. The history of each tip records editor activity, and this page records the original authors of the imported tips.
