Re: run make! from subdirs

Hi Ilia, to me it looks like you always want to compile using the Makefile in ProjectDir. I don't know if this helps much, but I would recommend to open the Makefile in one buffer, then hide it: :hid and do your source editing. When you want to compile your files, use :sb Maktab to

alt gr on german keyboard not working in gvim

Re: How to override $HOME on Windows NT/XP?
