In Vim 8, if it is compiled with the +terminal option, you can split the current window horizontally and add a terminal with the command :terminal or :term for short-hand. If you want to split the window vertically, the best way I know is to do a regular vertical split with :vsp or <c-w>v. Then, … Read more
I’d do it like this: :%s/\v(foo|bar)/\={‘foo’:’bar’,’bar’:’foo’}[submatch(0)]/g But that’s too much typing, so I’d do this: function! Mirror(dict) for [key, value] in items(a:dict) let a:dict[value] = key endfor return a:dict endfunction function! S(number) return submatch(a:number) endfunction :%s/\v(foo|bar)/\=Mirror({‘foo’:’bar’})[S(0)]/g But that still requires typing foo and bar twice, so I’d do something like this: function! SwapWords(dict, …) let … Read more

So you may feel bad with some lack of implementation. Give me a feed back(feature request) then. I’ll add some keybinds if I have enough time.

VIM will automatically enable the TAB for a makefile, assuming you name it “makefile,” as opposed to “Makefile.” Not sure why VIM still doesn’t detect the type with a lower-uppercase difference, but such is life. (@Sedrik) That aside, other alternative solutions are: Filetype Binding (@ThorstenS @tungd): autocmd FileType make setlocal noexpandtab RealTime Switch (@ThorstenS): Assuming … Read more
You can, as vi (or, more likely, vim) is saying force a write by doing: :w! Alternatively, write the file to an alternative location: :w! /path/to/other/location To check where your backup files are being written (normally): :se backup? backupdir? backupext? Try to touch a file in that directory and see if your Operating System gives … Read more
The “trailing characters” are in your command, not your document. Vim thinks that you finished the command at Article</, then considers h2>/gi as the third argument of the substitute command. But those characters aren’t all valid for the third argument, so it gives you the error. To solve this, you need to escape the / … Read more
I’m a bit late to this thread – but I wanted to throw in a vote for Vrapper. I used to work with the WindRiver Workbench IDE and I got used to the “Vim layer” it came with. WRW would push a Vim toggle button into the toolbar which allowed the user to activate/deactivate almost … Read more
