Cherrypicking Favorite vi/Vim Features

Don says he'd like to talk about

a fairly long list of operations that would help a new user get started, or a long-time user who hasn't plumbed some of the shallower depths.

Things we came up with include executing shell commands without exiting the editor; quickly setting up minimal config on a new system (with usable color scheme); determining whether syntax coloring is installed and how to make it so; using the system paste buffer while in visual mode, and a number of others that should be of special interest to a new user.

Next meeting is Wednesday, April 27th at 6:30pm

Interested in adding Vim to your toolbox, but don't know how to get started? We can help!

At the next Vim Geeks meeting, we'll cover getting Vim installed on your system, configuring it to cater to your every whim, the essentials of using it effectively, and resources to take you beyond the basics. It's a combination of presentation, Q&A, and working session, so bring your laptop (all operating systems welcome — Vim works great on Windows, too) and join in the fun.

We'll be gathering this Wednesday, April 27th, at the usual spot:

Computer Room

3720 Green Mount Crossing Drive
