General comments (not for a specific tip)

Comfortable handling of registers

Creating new text objects

Creating your own syntax files

Filter buffer on a search result

IPython integration

Keep, but with changes:

I removed the autosaving stuff, we already have a tip for that: Auto save files when focus is lost.

I don't have KDE so I can't test this, but it looks like it send a command to konsole from vim?
This would seem useful, but this would of course work for more stuff than just IPython, IMO this page should be renamed to something more general like 'Launch commands in konsole', examples with IPython and other applications can be added at the bottom.

I'd suggest making a "see also" section then, with a link to the auto-save tip and other python integration tips (I think there was an omnicomplete python tip recently, among others).

I don't see why the auto-save tip should be linked, it's a very seperate subject/tip.

I also don't see the relevance of other python tips if we would make this a general 'Launch commands in konsole' tip.
