Synopsis
This cookbook contains ready-to-use hacks to solve problems Vim users encounter daily, from personalizing Vim to optimizations that boost productivity. It does not cover basic use of the editor but focuses on making life easier for experienced Vim users. Vim is a highly configurable, open-source, multi-platform text editor that is included as standard in most Linux distributions. It can edit code in any language, has a scripting language that allows extensions to its functionality, and is editor of choice for many programmers. This book is up to date with the new features in Vim 7.0. Chapters cover: changing the appearance of the Vim editor; improved file and buffer navigation; using templates, auto-completion, folding, sessions, and registers; formatting text and code and using external formatting scripts; Vim scripts and scripting. Each recipe has a self-contained description of the task it covers, how to use it, the benefits of using it, and compatibility with earlier versions of Vim.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Expensive but pretty good, 31 Mar 2008 By  Robert (London, England) - See all my reviews The VIM mail list will answer any question you have about VIM. However it is helpful to have a clear map of the VIM territory. This book gives that map. It also is very well written and gives the reader the understanding to dig deeper. The book is a centimetre thick which is a little slim for the price, which is a shame as there is a lot more detail that could be added. However I think the writer made the right decision about the level of content in order to attract readers that are new to VIM. I personally would have liked to know more about the thousands of VIM extensions (which were only touched upon) and the VIM scripting capabilities.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
