General comments (not for a specific tip)

Disable blinking cursor

Merge to 746 Change cursor color in different modes and keep original title. However, I have become a little sensitive to copyright issues and if someone thinks we should just delete it, that would be fine. If in 746, we could have a section on totally disabling blinking, as well as the suggestions for changing the cursor to show the current mode. JohnBeckett 11:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Reordering lines

Keep Per the comments in the tip, I think we have agreed to keep this. JohnBeckett 11:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Using Vim for WYSIWIG editing of graphics through syntax highlightning

Hmmm. Let's not worry about the title (too long and has typo) at the moment. I'm not overly concerned if someone wants to keep this tip, but its actual Vim content seems rather minimal, although it is a very cute idea (I once edited a simple font by dumping it to a text file in a similar fashion, so it has a nostalgic quality as well). Who wants it? JohnBeckett 11:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
