Display shell commands' output on Vim window

I think this tip rocks and should be kept!!! LightKnight 07:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

This was discussed on the GIT mail list. Some improvements to the original script have been made. Refer to http://marc.info/?t=122073004900001 for more information.

Indenting for Qt C++

This tip doesn't work very well. It seems to work on some code, but doesn't on other code. IMO, it clearly needs more work to become publishable.

Using VimBall with 'Make'

I like it! -- Chip Campbell
