Vim - The Text Editor

I use Vim every day. It is my goto tool for all tasks relating to text. I came to it through my use of Unix. I tried a few other editors in my time but vi was the one that was available on all the various platforms that I use. I now find that I am lost without being able to use the keyboard to navigate and alter text.

The Plugins and scripts I find useful

• vim-preview To preview markup files in the browser, markdown rst etc.

Some Useful Links

• Coming home to Vim Steve Losh explains why he switched back to Vim. Some really nice writing on why you may want to use Vim.
• TextMate to Vim Although I have never used Textmate this does give a nice summary for all those things you generally do in an editor and how to do that in Vim.
