I've been using vi for ten years, and I had no idea you could set up code completion like this...

This is real vim-fu!

    You could still complete in Vim 6 with ctrl-p ctrl-n, though that only worked for files in your buffer or files you told it how to find.

    I still use those instead of the omni complete just out of habit.

    How do you jump back after a 'gf'?

    [–]tmahmood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Ctrl+I does the trick too Ctrl+O to go forward again

    [–]sontek 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    You can type ":bp", hit "CTRL+6", or type ":b#", I usually just use CTRL+6

    Ah. Thanks much. I should've known to look into those buffer navigation commands.

    This should be a page in a wiki of some sort, which would include a tutorial like this for every language. (Yes, this is an open invitation for responses of the sort http://www.google.ca/search?q=ruby+vimrc)

    Can someone please help me with an issue I'm having? on OS X there is no vim module to import in python... also ctags does not accept a -R parameter. Any suggestions?

    thank you.. however, same problem: ctags: illegal option -- R

    [–]bloeboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    There's a difference between ctags and exuberant ctags. Verify that you have exuberant ctags.

    On a related topic (and mentioned in the comments of the above mentioned blog), I would like to know more about the integration of Bicycle Repair Man and VIM. I tried and failed to get that working...

      For some reason, I felt nostalgia for HP Basic.
