vim.merge!(rails)

After meeting tpope and pair programming with reinh I got to see the power of vim. I have never used vim before so this is all new to me. I've been using TextMate exclusively since starting Rails a few years ago. I came to work and started in on a pursuit of how I can do in vim what I do in Textmate. While on this quest, I will document along the way some useful tips that may help you too.

I'll document some vim things I've learned so far:

• Install rails.vim
• Other plugins: BlockComment, NERDTree, FuzzyFinderTextmate, minibufexpl, vcscommand

Vim commands I use often:

• gf - when cursor is on class name it'll take you to that class definition
• yyp - duplicate current line
• :AS - I use a lot to look at code and spec at the same time
• ^p - autocomplete word from any open file
• control + shift + 6 - switch between two buffers
• shift + s - to delete current line
• :%s/old/new/g - to change text to new text
• / - to go to line number on page
• /text, then enter key - to find text in file, n to find next
• :split - split screen
• :Rake - run specs in current file
• :on - if in split screen, will make selected buffer the only buffer
• escape key - to exit insert mode
• o - create new line below existing line and enter insert mode
• v aw - select a word
• v ap - select paragraph (works well for method definitions too)

What are your favorite commands? I'll post more as I learn.
