I use vim for working on Sphinx projects - when I want to build I make sure
my working dir is the one containing the makefile, then I use the
:make<http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/quickfix.html#:make>command
like so:
:make html
This avoids having to background vim to run the command, and also populates
vim's quickfix list (see the documentation linked above) which lets you jump
automatically to syntax errors and warnings. I do still have to alt+tab to
firefox but a plugin to make it auto-reload the page periodically could
resolve that too. This one looks like a good candidate:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/reloadevery/
Of course, running vim in the root of the sphinx project means that you have
to type out the path to the file you want to edit - but vim allows globbing
in the edit command (:e **/file-i-want.rst). Tab completion also works
nicely with this, it is pretty great (though a bit slow for large directory
trees.)
Hope this helps.
