in vim you position the cursor over a word, and hit '*' to jump to the
next + highlite all matches.  'n'/'N' will move you to the next/previous
match.


I would like it even better though, sometimes I want to highlite several
items in different colors, like keeping multiple active searches, each
with a different highlite color.

vim, even freeer.



one of my favorite vim features, is the ability to pipe a selected
portion ( or all ) of the text through an external program, and have
it replace by the output of this program.


when manipulating some piece of information, I often prefix it with
'__DATA__'  and a little bit of perl, starting with  'while (<DATA>)',
and then pipe the whole contents of my current window through perl, with
'!Gperl'
so I can easily experiment with the data while keeping it in my editor.


( always fun to have a 'my XYZ is better'-type discussion. )
