Learning Vim from the inside

is there a way to edit homework that has been submitted?

I forwarded your question to kday.

We've already seen some changes an improvements in how CrunchCourse works, so I wouldn't be surprised if this became available shortly.

VIM TIPS: here's an awesome site with a boatload of Vim tips

So I found out by experimentation that you can shorten the separator designation on id-util commandlines.

Instead of 'lid -S newline some_identifier' try this:

lid -Sn some_identifier

or

lid -Ss some_identifier

So I've been playing with gvim as a "server". It's kind of neat.

Once I've run 'gvim --servername vim' I can then send files to that running gvim process by running 'vim --remote $(lid -kn someidentifier)'

This seems pretty darn useful! I'm still trying to figure out why I have to name my server 'vim' to be able to send files to it, however. I'm guessing maybe 'vim --remote' is using $0 as the servername? ...I'll update you if/when I figure that part out.

Wow... check out this 10.9K .vimrc

Mercurial Guide

I know Gary, the owner of that 10.9K .vimrc. I'm not too surprised. He does a good job customizing and perfecting his tools and workflow. He wrote his own distributed issue tracking system so that it could match his DVCS workflow. It was pretty cool.

cfedde, yes you can edit homeworks now. Thanks for the feedback.

hmm. If 10.9k is large My 28k vimrc must be super bloated

Just found this, the The ultimative Vim configuration

One thing I REALLY like is that his install instructions include viewing the install script before executing it. That's a good practice across-the-board.
