For similar situations, I need this often but not always, thus I mapped a function key to it:     :nn <F3> :cd %:p:h<cr>     :h ::p If you want it always, set 'autochdir'     :h 'acd

]p: Just like p for pasting, but it automatically adjusts the indent level of the pasted code to match the indentation of the cursor location. This will save me from having to spend time reindenting code.

As I am sure you found out from Tony's post Vim has a built in debugger for Vim scripts. What I would suggest to you is to download and use this plugin by Hari: " BreakPts - Debug Vim Scripts " Author: Hari Krishna Dara " http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=618 I use it regularly and love it.

You may have noticed that pasting outside text into Vim from insert mode can lead to awkwardly stair-stepped text. You may also know that this is easily avoidable via :set paste from normal mode. I paste from outside often enough, that I've added the following to my vimrc making it that much easier.set pastetoggle=<F5>

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.

 (1) blah blah  (2) more blah blah (3) still more blah blah (4)... (5)... Now I finish point (2) and delete the line from my list. I manually renumber a long list for all points after (2). Does vim make this task any easier?

There's visincr... You can get visincr from:

Abusing the "\=" replacement evaluation described at    :help sub-replace-special you can do something like   :.,$s/(\zs\d\+\ze)/\=submatch(0)-1

This tip provides a (Windows only) means of using gvim as an external editor for almost any other program. This script has been tested with Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer on Windows NT.

 "Give your most complex macros a name and store it for future recall and use" Problem statement(s): Can't remember those complex VIM macro sequences you use frequently?Wish you could save those macros beyond your immediate session? Wish you could share your VIM macros with each other? Why not templates as well in the same script?

This is the Vim cookbook page. It contains short recipes for doing many simple and not so simple things in Vim. You should already know the basics of Vim, however each command is explained in detail. Each set of instructions is a complete package. Feel free to pick and choose what you need.

Following my thoughts yesterday, here are some VIM python scripts to add python breakpoint and debugging features to VIM. With this set up the F7 key will set a breakpoint on a line of code, Shift-F7 will remove all breakpoints and Shift-F12 will execute a script in the python debugger. This only runs on windows as far as I know, because it uses the 'start' command to launch the debugger in a seperate process without VIM waiting for it to finish. This allows you to look through the source code (and fix it) while the debugging is still in progress.
