Sorry, just realized that it was Ara’s video, so the above response
was for him…

Giles, have you ever tried tabs in Vim? IMHO it’s a
lot easier to
manage multiple tabs than multiple windows in Vim.
you mean gvim? does vim do tabs somehow then?
And for screen, try
screen -S session-nameto name the screen
sessions you create so when you doscreen -lsit’s easier to
remember which session is which. Then you can resume a session with
screen -r session-nametoo.
yeah. this is what i use:
cfp:~ > alias|grep screen
alias s='screen -D -R ’
alias sdr='screen -d -r ’
alias sl='screen -list ’
Also great for Vim is the taglist.vim plugin, which lets you see a
method/member summary of the file you’re editing in a vertical window
to the left (or anywhere else through config options). It works with
most languages, including Ruby.
i’ve tried tags a bit but not lately - should give it another go.
thanks for the tip.
was for him…
yup, i swear by it. best thing is that moving to linux, using putty
on windows, switching to osx, logging into to a solaris box, working
on fortran, whatever - all use the same ‘ide’. this alone buys a ton
of time in the medium to long haul.
cheers.
oh, hey. I had that in my RSS reader until last week. I was reading
too many blogs so I deleted everything. I’ll add that one back in.
the quality sux but the conversion to flv was blowing up on my box -
i’ll try again tomorrow. until the low-quality version and link to
full res is here.just a quick overview - but maybe it gives the flavour.
it does. muchas gracias. essentially it’s a text-only window manager?
Unix is a wonderful thing. and the sl thing is basically saved state,
so you can get the same “windows” back whether you log in from the
same box or remotely.

I don’t use GVim because it doesn’t work inside screen, but yes, Vim
and GVim both do tabs. Try :help tab-page-intro to get an overview.
The basic commands are:
:tabnew -> open a new tab
:tabedit index.rhtml (or :tabe index.rhtml) -> open file index.rhtml
in a new tab
:tabclose (or :tabc) -> close current tab
:tabmove 4 (or :tabm 4) -> move current tab after tab 4
gt (or :tabnext) -> next tab
gT (or :tabprevious) -> previous tab
4gt -> go to tab 4
The excellent and indispensable rails.vim plugin has some nice tab
support features.
I’m not sure if OS X Vim has tab support by default…

well i’ll be…
very cool!
that’s the other great thing about vim - it takes a lifetime to learn
it all.
‘gT’ is pretty dang awkward for flipping though - i think i might map
‘tn’ (tabnext) and ‘tp’ (tabprevious)
otherwise this might be my new favorite vim feature.
cheers.

h.h. the 14th dalai lama
Yep, I’ve been using Vim/vi since 1998 in my first college C class,
and I’m still learning new stuff about it! There are so many great
plugins out there, like Nerd_commenter.vim, rails.vim, taglist.vim,
etc…
I could hardly get by in day-to-day Rails coding without rails.vim,
which has ‘gf’. You can put the cursor over almost anything and do
‘gf’ to go to that thing. Here are some examples from the rails.vim
doc:
(* indicates cursor position)
Pos*t.find(:first)
app/models/post.rb
has_many :c*omments
app/models/comment.rb
link_to "Home", :controller => :bl*og
app/controllers/blog_controller.rb
<%= render :partial => 'sh*ared/sidebar' %>
app/views/shared/_sidebar.rhtml
<%= stylesheet_link_tag :scaf*fold %>
public/stylesheets/scaffold.css
class BlogController < Applica*tionController
app/controllers/application.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionCont*roller::Base
…/action_controller/base.rb
fixtures :pos*ts
test/fixtures/posts.yml
layout :pri*nt
app/views/layouts/print.rhtml
# In the Blog controller
def li*st
app/views/blog/list.rhtml
<%= link_to "New", new_comme*nt_path %>
app/controllers/comments_controller.rb (jumps to def new)
You also get the :A and :R commands which jump from the current file
to the (A)lternate or (R)elated file:
Current file Alternate file Related file
model unit test related migration
controller (in method) functional test template (view)
template (view) helper controller (jump to method)
migration previous migration next migration
config/routes.rb config/database.yml config/environment.rb
As I said, Ruby/RoR + Vim is heaven.
