Vim 7.0: walk through

Posted on | September 21, 2006 |

the recommendable All about Linux-blog features a detailed walk through of many features introduced with the new version 7.0 of texteditor Vim (Vi-improved). highlights include spellchecking, ‘omni’-code completion for many predefined languages, tabbed user-interface and undo-branches. the latter is a life-saving time-machine: typing ‘:earlier 5m‘ rewinds the editor-buffer to its state 5 minutes ago - even if the file has been saved meanwhile. similarily, ‘:later 20s‘ fastforwards 20 seconds. Vim is available for unix, Windows and Mac OS-X.
