holy **** some of this stuff is cool! http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html the word-completion trick (ctrl-n) rocks! here's a nifty excerpt: ---------------------------------------- # Absolutely essential ---------------------------------------- * # g* g# : find word under cursor (<cword>) (forwards/backwards) % : match brackets {}[]() . : repeat last modification matchit.vim : % now matches tags <tr><td><script> <?php etc <C-N><C-P> : word completion in insert mode <C-X><C-L> : Line complete SUPER USEFUL /<C-R><C-W> : Pull <cword> onto search/command line /<C-R><C-A> : Pull <CWORD> onto search/command line :set ignorecase : you nearly always want this :syntax on : colour syntax in Perl,HTML,PHP etc :h regexp<C-D> : type control-D and get a list all help topics containing regexp (plus use TAB to Step thru list) After the vim presentation at TCLUG last year, I thought I had a decent handle on how to use it; but I didn't know 1/100th of this stuff... so how do you do all this stuff in Emacs? (seriously, I want to know, just for curiosity's sake). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
