Regarding: 'VIM'

Staying the hell out of insert mode —

Ctrl-C goes to normal mode when in insert mode. Amazing.

philc's vimium —

Life altering Chrome extension that adds vi keybindings. It’s not quite as intense as Firefox’s Vimperator but that’s a good thing IMO. You get some really interesting stuff in addition to the obvious h, j, k, and l movement keys and find commands:

gg           scroll to top
G            scroll to bottom
f            activate link hints mode
F            activate link hints mode to open in new tab
r            reload
gf           view source
zi           zoom in
zo           zoom out
i            enter insert mode -- commands ignored until you hit esc to exit
y            copy current url to the clipboard

ba, H        back in history
fw, fo, L    forward in history

J, gT        go one tab left
K, gt        go one tab right
t            new tab
d            close tab
u            restore closed tab

Feels great in practice. Sold.

rtomayko's dotfiles —

I recently started a repository for my dotfiles, shell environment, vim config, and utility scripts. As of right now, I’m about 25% through all of the stuff in my $HOME — it should all fill in shortly.

There’s so many great workflow hacks in here.

css_color.vim - CSS color preview : vim online —

Makes the background of hexadecimal color codes the respective color. So, background-color:#f00 will have a red background in the vim editing window. Nifty.

Vimperator —

Make Firefox like Vim. No, like, insanely like Vim. Not just h,j,k,l mappings but everything. Looks like it’s been around for awhile. I’m not sure how I missed it.

macvim - Google Code —

Absolutely beautiful new Vim port for OS X – sane GUI tabs, multiple windows, client/server mode, fonts look great. Stop building Carbon Vim from source!

ManPageView —

Vim add-in for viewing manpages, perldoc (both system and embedded), help, info, and php files. Maybe I’ll finally be able to read all that GNU info doc I keep hearing about in the GNU coreutils man pages.
