The Wildmenu The best vim feature is the wildmenu. Add a set wildmenu to your vimrc and discover the possibilities of filesystem surfing ^^ Enter :e in the command line and press ^D. Vim will show you all possibitilites in a nice little window. By entering the start of a filename and pressing tab it completes for you then. If it was a folder you can now press ^D again to get the contents. Once you finished the command this window will disappear again and you can continue working. Works of course for all commands not only the open command.

I've read a lot of tips about how to make vim as an IDE like editor. Most of them are really useful, and I want to sum up them in this tip, and then add some of my experiences.

Change to the top level directory that contains your python source files, and do find -name '*.py' > cscope.files cscope -b

How can I work on VIM for python code such as cscope for C code?

File exploringAlright. You need two plugins, NERDTree and BufExplorer.NERDTree is started by typing :NERDTree and it will give you a much better file explorer than any other IDE. BufExplorer is started by typing \be and it will allow you to access a list of recently used files, and switch between them quickly.You might also want to bone up on windows and tabs (:help windows and :help tabs)

A terminal/shell buffer script for python enabled [g]vim (+python).  Allows execution of shell commands in a vim buffer. It does not use r! <cmd>.   Some of it's features:       - It retains state because it's interactive.  For example, set an environment variable and it "stays" because the          shell process is the same through the whole session.       - It can run interactive line based programs like ftp/telnet/python/ssh/etc including masked password input (pty supported platform only).       - Since it's a vim buffer you can go into normal mode and move around the buffer, yank, paste, use word completion, etc       - Runs on Linux and Windows, primary development and testing is done on Linux.  Windows has limitations          ( no interactive programs ) due to lack of pty support.        Requirements: To use it you must have a python enabled [g]vim and run on a platform that supports pty ( i.e. Linux ), or pipes ( Windows, Linux, et all ). The pty version has much better formatted output than the pipes version and supports running interactive programs.  Please read vimsh.readme for other installation details.  Tested on vim 6.0 using Slackware and Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows XP.   I'd also like to hear from users running other operating systems, i.e. QNX/Solaris/other BSDs. !!!!! WINDOWS USERS !!!!!, there is a zip file available at the above link. The version kept here on vimonline is a tarred, gzipped file ( tar.gz ). If you are going to use Winzip with the .tar.gz file be sure to turn off the "Tar file smart CR/LF handling". It doesn't work well. Please send me bug reports and suggestions if you use it.  I appreciate all the patches I've been getting lately!

Assuming you're in normal mode and cursor is on a '('. %x<C-O>x -ap

Vimplugin is an Eclipse plugin that brings the power of the editor Vim to the Eclipse IDE. Vim is one of the most powerful editors around. But it is not an IDE. On the other hand, Eclipse is one of the most powerful IDEs. But its editor lacks many of the features vim offers. Vim is lean, Eclipse is extensible. So, just take the best of two worlds.
