Revision as of 18:04, 26 December 2008
New tips February 2008
For each proposed new tip:
- Is it worth keeping as a separate tip?
- Should it be merged into an existing tip? Which?
- If it should be kept, is it ready for release? Which points need fixing? Should it be renamed?
Please edit this page (not the talk page) in the appropriate section below the following table.
Alternatively, comments can be posted on the mailing list.
| Proposed new tip | Link | Current consensus |
|---|---|---|
| Automatically add Python paths to Vim path | discuss | Keep |
| Substitute Word Under Cursor | discuss | Merged to VimTip464 |
| VirtualStore | discuss | Merged to VimTip1542 |
Suggestion: Leave consideration of the following until Metacosm returns.

General comments (not for a specific tip)
Automatically add Python paths to Vim path
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been kept.
Keep. Good tip. I have tried it, and have edited the tip to add details. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Keep. It's not perfect, (some modules like os.path don't work) but still useful enough to keep. Carpetsmoker 07:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Substitute Word Under Cursor
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been merged, and will be deleted.
Merge this tip into one of the following (probably 464 where the author added a "see also" to the new tip, with an acknowledgement in the edit summary that it might have been better to put the info in 464).
- 159 Keystroke Saving Substituting and Searching
- 464 Search and replace the word under the cursor
- 1501 Substitute last search
Should put a "see also" in 464 with the above list. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Merge 464 Search and replace the word under the cursor is basically the same. -- Carpetsmoker 09:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I have merged this to 464 and cleaned up 464. --JohnBeckett 06:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
VirtualStore
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been merged, and will be deleted.
The two mysterious tips we have on Vista are a worry. I hate the idea of deleting an entire directory tree (rmdir /q /s) with no explanation. I'm pretty sure it would be better to work out exactly what the problem is and avoid it. However, perhaps we should keep this tip, with the plaintive comment I've put in it, in the hope that people who understand Vista will one day fix these tips. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I now think the content of this tip should be moved to 1542 Vim on Vista. The author of VirtualStore made only the one contribution, and there has been no feedback to the comments that I added on the tip page. Merging the two rather dodgy Vista tips for later consideration seems safest. --JohnBeckett 06:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I have merged this to 1542. --JohnBeckett 04:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Best Plugins
Best Tips
This is tutorial material. It contains little of value. (Spiiph 17:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC))
Change GUI Font
Date Time Insert
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been merged.
- It is already present as VimTip97 --Luc Hermitte 02:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree and added it as a candidate for deletion [changed to merge] and changed the 1 link that was to it other than here. --Ian Kelling August 2008
Enhanced Commentify Plugin
File Format
Fix Backspace
Fix Syntax Highlighting
Large File Plugin
Make a Macro
You can get more information from :h 10.1. There must be better macro tip pages. (Spiiph 17:52, 26 December 2008 (UTC))
Match It Plugin
Duplicate Moving to matching braces -- User:Carpetsmoker 12:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
NERD Tree Plugin
New When Hardlinked
New to Vim
Omni Completion
Paste Indent Problems
Read Write System Enviroment Variables
Reselect Visual Block
Super Retab
Super Tab Plugin
Surround Plugin
Surrounding Parens
Why two tips? BTW, there are other surrounding plugins. --Luc Hermitte 02:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Switch Lines
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been merged. Merged to Swapping characters, words and lines and kept as a redirect to that tip.
Tag List Plugin
To Html
I suspect there is already a tip that is about "converting the current document into HTML with respect of current highlighting".
Otherwise, the title is the name of a command that :h will explain. It should instead describes what it accomplishes. --Luc Hermitte 03:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Tutorial Commands
Vim Diff
Define "don't work well". Why is the new version proposed superior? Does vim7(.1?) deprecates this tip? --Luc Hermitte 02:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Vim Gpg
It seems to me that the first and last lines of these four are redundant:
autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gpg let ch_save = &ch|set ch=2 autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gpg let shsave=&sh autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gpg let &sh='sh' autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gpg let ch_save = &ch|set ch=2
I'm assuming that saving the default shell value into a temp register, then changing it to the plain unix SHell, isn't going to somehow mess up your ch_save register such that you'd need to re-save the values you just saved before, right? I'm new to Vim scripting, but seriously, this is just a cut-and-paste mistake on somebody's part...?
- Forgot to use ~~~~? In any case, the current tip contains a lot of crap. I've added a comment with an improved, but untested version. It could probably be improved further. (Spiiph 18:02, 26 December 2008 (UTC))
Vim IRC FAQ
Random collection of :help commands. It could perhaps be merged with a FAQ, if there is one. (Spiiph 18:04, 26 December 2008 (UTC))
Vim Tutor
Vim on Freenode
Vis Vim
Vis Vim Disinterest
Why two /Vis Vim */ tips? Moreover, for those who haven't known the no-longer-supported VC6, this title won't tell what the tip is about.
I'd rather have only one "Integration with VC/VS" tip. This tip can then have a section related to visvim, or any new system that will take its place. --Luc Hermitte 02:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Where Are My Settings
Where to download Vim
We have finished discussing this tip – it has been kept.
Original title was "Which verson of Vim should I use?" (with typo). Keep tip and make redirects with various different names to help users find our "how to download Vim" tip. --JohnBeckett 10:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
