==[[Automatic LaTeX compile and XDVI refresh]]==
'''Keep''' Seems a bit short, and possibly could be merged to a related tip, but we don't have anything which tries this. [[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 09:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

==[[Filetype.vim]]==
This is not really a proposed new tip -- it's a new page intended to provide background on filetype handling. I'm not sure of the best way to handle it, but for consistency I've put TipNew with a dummy tip number at the top (I don't want the ugly TipProposed). It is ''very'' useful for those of us doing heavy maintenanace to have a simple tip number to refer to pages, and I don't want to spend the mental effort to worry about whether this page should or should not have a TipNew template.

So, please put your efforts into any required fixing of the page itself (add ideas to the comments section at the bottom of the tip). In a few months, it may be time to re-think whether our pages should have tip numbers. --[[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 01:08, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge to [[Short mappings for common tasks]]? --[[User:Fritzophrenic|Fritzophrenic]] 04:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
:Agree - merge as above. --[[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 01:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
::Done. --[[User:Fritzophrenic|Fritzophrenic]] 21:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

==[[Use t(till) to delete text in a line]]==
'''Merged''' to [[VimTip1581|Tutorial]]. [[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 07:59, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
:Merge somewhere. I'm thinking of keeping the material in [[Best Tips]] (after cleaning it up), and have that as a place to put simple tips for newcomers. Or, maybe use [[Tutorial Commands]] for that. Perhaps put the "delete till" content from this new tip there. I don't see any reason to keep the proposed new tip title "Use t(till)..." because it's not something you would search for. --[[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 01:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
::I agree. Merge to [[Tutorial Commands]], and also mention t's friends: f, F, T, ',', and ';'. --[[User:Fritzophrenic|Fritzophrenic]] 21:23, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

==[[Vim key bindings for Firefox]]==
'''Merged''' to [[VimTip317]]. The proposed new tip simply had a link to Vimperator, a short quote from the Vimperator web page, and a statement that it is great. The same info was already in 317, but I have drastically reworded 317 so Vimperator is featured, and the old tip is given after a warning that it is probably obsolete. I also cleaned up some of the comments which were definitely obsolete. 317 originally had the title [[Mozilla Vim Keybindings]]. I deleted the proposed new tip, then moved 317 to use its title (so the history is kept). So, 317 has replaced the proposed new tip.
:Keep. Not really a Vim tip ''per se'', but of great interest to a lot of Vim users (though not to Opera fans like me ;-)). --[[User:Fritzophrenic|Fritzophrenic]] 21:25, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::Not sure if keeping is a good move. I'll think more on this soon, but I will try hard to avoid a precedent where people can make a tip saying "X is good". See [[VimTip317|Mozilla Vim Keybindings]] for one merge candidate. [[User:JohnBeckett|JohnBeckett]] 09:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
