Hi!
Sessions should do what you want. You can look at :help session for more
information, but this is basically what I do:
1. Open the files that you want, in tabs (I typically have three tabs with
source files, a tab with my todo.otl file, another with some init files and
another with my .vimrc).
The easiest thing to do would probably just to do :e after your :w. :e will

To summarize, a guy is trying to evolve a good keyboard layout by
deriving interesting metrics. A use for genetic algorithms at last!
I haven't been following this thread in its entirety, but there are the

others. To enter œ all you need to do is HOLD Alt, and then enter 0156 on the
keypad, and then release Alt.
Hardly a stylish solution, but easier
I would guess it's some kind of error highlighting -- semicolons are not
allowed inside square brackets (unless they are inside a string or a
comment) -- and because the square bracket has not been closed the
