Nice video. That :wq at the end is what I call a sense of humor, LOL.

I don't like NERDtree this days. I think Netwr is a lot more powerful. I do use it even for browsing my files as a commander (two pane) replacement.

Perhaps you want NERDcommenter instead of Tcomment. Check it out if you havent already.

When working in *nix environments it is no so necessary, but thanks for suggesting MRU and FuzzyFinder. #installing!!

Cheers.

SnipMate seems quite similar to the built-in ":ab" (:abbreviate) command.

FuzzyFinder seems quite similar to :set wildmenu wildmode=longest:full

NERDTree is excellent! It's even better because I can configure it to hide unwanted files (like *.o, *.pyc, *.class, .svn, .hg, .git).

Cool → "Since vim 6.0, matchit.vim has been included in the standard vim distribution."

Awesome! Great compilation of plugins and instructions. Cheers

Nice video. waiting for another one (with top VIM features). Vim is an editor, which you can learn till your death, finding it more and more powerful and comfortable for using! (I'm even using it for simple java projects).

@MrTutcasts Thanks for the tips! Btw I like your color scheme, can you share it?

P.S. Didn't FuzzyFinder have some issues? I think that you need to install some additional library for it to work.. (maybe it changed though)

If you are on Linux, use "key-mon" tool when recording Vim screencasts. It's really helpful to see what keys are being pressed. (it's available on code.google.com)

whats the hotkey for MRU i know you open it with :MRU, but i was wondering if there is a ctrl+something

[AlexKostikov]

I'm new to vim. What colorscheme is used in the video?

[poojkhgf]

@poojkhgf to reply to myself, either I was wrong or it was fixed as I just downloaded it and it works in vim 7.3

Thanks for the demo of some Vim plugins. I'm new to Vim so learning about some of the plugins that can make me much more productive than in Textmate is a big help.

Oh, I couldn't help but notice you had an insane amount of white space for your tabs (8 spaces?)... is that the default tab distance for Surround or is that just a setting you like?

Thanks again.
