Aye, I must say that I also don't miss auto completion much, but then again I usually write php and python code which arent that heavily reliant on auto complete like java heh.
Vim is a great thing to use if you have multiple desktops and don't need to stop to read things, without using the mouse make it that much easier to focus on the code, and features like ma, d'a and y$ p just takes that much longer to do with a mouse.. Another good thing imho, is the Compiz Fusion set, these days I have multiple tabbed Vim on center desktop (split page as well on the console window sometimes), FF on right desktop, jabber client/irc on the left desktop, you can switch between them very fast using ctrl+alt +left/right On Oct 18, 6:32 pm, lenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i simply know the stuff i want to type ... never really missed auto > completion ... the only auto completion i really use is for path names (vim > has that of course). > > On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 5:58 PM, Sid Bachtiar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > > > > > i am not a huge fan of autocompletion > > > So what do you use as an alternative to auto code completion? > > > On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 3:52 PM, lenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > there are millions of plugins that offer the degree of comfort you like > > in > > > the language you like. i am not a huge fan of autocompletion but there > > are > > > plugins offering that. if there is something missing, no problem, write > > the > > > plugin suiting your way of working. > > > surfhttp://www.vim.org/scripts/index.phpto get an idea of the things > > you > > > can do. a feature i like for writing latex or in mutt is the ":spell" > > > feature added recently. gives you a spell checker in the editor. > > > lenz > > > > On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:52 PM, Sid Bachtiar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > >> Does vim parse classes and do auto code completion? > > > >> On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:35 PM, lenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> > vim is the way to go ... for finding matching brackets just put your > > >> > cursor > > >> > on the bracket and it shows you the closing one (alternatively you can > > >> > jump > > >> > to it with '%') > > >> > and just for information ... i wrote really big stuff in vim (many > > tens > > >> > of > > >> > thousands of lines of code) and always came back to vim ... gui stuff > > is > > >> > simply too slow and using a mouse kills the flow of programming > > anyway. > > >> > lenz > > > >> > On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:15 PM, BlackRose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> > wrote: > > > >> >> /agree Sid > > > >> >> If you also use other languages such as python, then you may want to > > >> >> look into Eclipse, with PDT, CDT, PyEclipse installed you can pretty > > >> >> much edit anything without leaving the IDE, and it is cross platform > > >> >> as well. > > > >> >> Also, for the quick jobs or situations where you only have a console, > > >> >> learn to us Vi is also a good thing :D > > > >> -- > > >> Visit my website:http://onlinesid.com > > > -- > > Visit my website:http://onlinesid.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
