VIM-ing: Indent level highlighting

http://viming.blogspot.com/2007/02/indent-level-highlighting.html

Saturday, February 17, 2007. I have finally begun to delve into the world of VIM syntax highlighting. The syntax used by VIM that give all my different files such pretty colors have always been something of a mystery to me. Recently a problem caused me to make the jump into the :help syntax. Looked like just what I was looking for. Interesting, and helpful, but not quite. Progressively darker indenting, kinda loud. Alternate coloring. Better. Alternate color, with progressively darker shading. Best.

VIM-ing: 11/01/2008 - 12/01/2008

http://viming.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 07, 2008. Another one trying to come back to vim. I sense a theme. Just saw this post. Today, about another person trying out switching from TextMate back to their first love: VIM. He switched back to TextMate, and I can understand his reasons. Plugins in Vim do tend to feel 'bolted on', and they can be kinda slow. Although you can certainly customize Vim so that it fits your work requirements, many times I think we all have to customize it. This makes me think of cream.

Sunday, December 20, 2009. Entire file view of matching searches. So I've been using IntelliJ a lot for my Java and groovy development lately and noticed a cool feature of its editor recently. When you do a search, a little tick mark is made along the area of the scroll bar for each match to your search. This is kinda cool as it gives you a general idea of how many matches there are in the file, and a general sense of where they are. So I was thinking. I wanna do this in Vim. How? It sure would be nice i...

VIM-ing: Conditionally applying macro recordings.

http://viming.blogspot.com/2008/09/conditionally-applying-macro-recordings.html

Friday, July 01, 2011. Conditionally applying macro recordings. I make and use recordings in Vim all the time. I cannot imagine my daily work-a-day life without them. The most common reason for using recordings is to perform a complex modification of a semi-formatted dataset: SQL result sets, CSV, TSV, XML, HTML, etc. So What am I talking about? Conditional Macros. Lets break it down:. List A: 108 unique colors, 387 total colors. List B: 266 unique colors, 1343 total colors. Suppose you wanted to compute...

Tuesday, December 09, 2008. There is always something new to discover out there, particularly with Vim. I thought I knew how registers worked: you got your window manager registers ( and *); the 'last thing I deleted' register ("); the confusing 'last 10 deletes' registers (0-9); some read only registers that I don't consider to be registers because, hey, you can't write to them (% and #); and then the multipurpose named registers (a-z). Did you know that you can append to the named registers? I had NO I...

VIM-ing: New indenthl syntax plugin

http://viming.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-indenthl-syntax-plugin.html

Wednesday, March 23, 2011. New indenthl syntax plugin. I've still been getting comments on my original indenthl post. Lo four or so years ago. Back when I wrote it I was an advocate of the 'set noet' (no expanded tabs - a tab means a tab! Thus saying, I've done some IndentHL syntax updates. It now has a couple new features (and settings! Error highlighting: if you have a line indented with a combination of tabs and spaces then this will highlight it as an error. Also, I moved this syntax project over to ...

Tuesday, March 02, 2010. Similar to my previous post on adjacent nontrivial searches. I've recently had to do something similar except that I need to find things that are the same on adjacent lines. For instance given the following:. 1003065,PARKBT,99.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,1089.00. 1003133,PARKBT,210.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,1470.00. 1003234,PARKBT,180.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,1980.00. PARKAT,45.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,45.00. PARKBT,230.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,2705.00. 1003360,PARKBT,210.00,0.00,0.00, 2009,1260.00.
