All in one solution for all the scripts of vim from vim.org

2011-03-09 9 min read Bash Fedora Learning Linux Vim Tips

For quite sometime now, I was looking for some console based program which would help me get the scripts from vim.org. A simple solution would have been to do a wget for the scripts. But since there are so many scripts coming up daily and with a need to search based on script ID and name of the script, I thought better to write a script that can do all of those things. Now, what was required was that the script should be either able to download this or add to the GLVS script. Also note that, I had done something similar in the past here. There are some additions in the below script. You can download a copy of the script get_vim_scripts. Or you can copy the script from below:

shopt causes bash completion to stop working.

2011-01-25 1 min read Bash

Couple of days, I added some scripts to my bash startup and suddenly realized that bash completions stopped working. This is tricky situation in bash to figure out what went wrong. So, I set my foot down to make sure that I find out the culprit. Thus I started with method of elimination. So, I started with nothing in .bashrc and kept adding my stuff in batches, until the said feature was broken. Once that happened I started removing the added ones, one by one, until my completion started working again.

[Solved] Abbreviations not working in vim

2010-10-02 1 min read Bash Learning Vim Tips

Today I found that abbreviations are not working in vim in my current login. I searched log of blog’s and sill did not find any solution so I decided to take the matters in my hand.

To start with I disabled all the plugin’s by moving my plugin directory. This did not help me solve the issue, so the only other option left was to now disable the vimrc file completely. Once I removed the vimrc file, the abbreviations started working.

Play with vim colors.

2010-07-16 1 min read Vim Tips

In vim you can customize the colors of your terminal vim or the GUI version. If you wanted to play around with colors then you can simply put the file containing the colorscheme to directory ”~/.vim/colors” and load it in vim with ”colorscheme ”.

That most of you would know. What I will add here is how easy it can be create it if you knew the right place to do it: Head over<a href="http://yukihiro.nakadaira.googlepages.com/vim-color.html" target="_blank"> here. No explanations needed. Anyway if you need help, leave a comment.

jumps and marks in vim

2010-07-11 3 min read Linux Vim Tips

First we will talk about jumps in vim. Very useful for <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/navigation" title="Navigation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation">navigation and jumping around the vim. The jumps are commands that lets you jump from one location to another location, like {{ or [[ and so on … From the help file of vim

A ”jump” is one of the following commands: ”’”, ”`”, ”G”, ”/”, ”?”, ”n”,
”N”, ”%”, ”(”, ”)”, ”[[”, ”]]”, ”{”, ”}”, ”:s”, ”:tag”, ”L”, ”M”, ”H” and
the commands that start editing a new file. If you make the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/cursor" title="Cursor (computers)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_%28computers%29">cursor ”jump”
with one of these commands, the position of the cursor before the jump is
remembered. You can return to that position with the ”’’” and ”“” command,
unless the line containing that position was changed or deleted.

bash script to change the vim colorscheme from the list of locally available schemes

Today I was just wondering how good it would be to have a script to change the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/vim" title="Vim (text editor)" rel="homepage" href="http://www.vim.org/">vim colorscheme from the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/cmd_exe" title="Command Prompt" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Prompt">command prompt. The plan for the script was simply to print the list of available schemes and then let the user select the actions from there on. So, here is the result:
