- Installed some useful Vim plugins, such as
- Vundle: (Vim plugins management tool).
- NERDTree: (file browser).
- EasyMotion
- Loremipsum: (random text generator).
- surround.vim: (surround text with brackets).
- SnipMate: (for autogenerated code).
- Vim-addon-mw-utils
- Tlib_vim: (dependency for SnipMate).
- FuzzyFinder: (quick finding tool for files, etc).
- L9: (dependency for FuzzyFinder).
- Do some custom insert mode keyboard mapping. (automatical completion of brackets)
A Bug in Vim-$\rm \LaTeX$
It’s a small syntax error, and can be easily fixed with the addition of a space character. I found it from a Google search result. (I’ve forgotten the query string.)
This shows to good things of free and open source software:
- Find bugs quickly through effective communication between users and developers.
- Fix bugs quickly through hands-on configuration of source code.
From the Vim plugins on the GitHub, you’ll discover even more good points of FLOSS:
- Everyone can tune the software to adapt to his/her needs.
- Everyone can share and contribute their changes.
and more …
The more the FLOSS developers, the better our free software!
Why Vim?
Searching something like “vim best editor”, “vim vs IDE” Google, you can find too many results, and it’s impossible to finish reading all those articles. Therefore, I selected some and post the link here.
