That's useful. But my favorite Netbeans feature about blocks was not copying, but moving blocks around by Alt+Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right. I don't remember default mapping. I was doing it like that. Not by Ctrl-x tap tap tap Ctrl+v or V tap tap tap x tap tap P. It will save a couple seconds each minute. I was able to restore it on Vim. Moving blocks around with Ctrl+h,j,k,l http://github.com/vrybas/dotvim/blob/master/rc.vim#L201 Another cool feature of Netbeans is `Navigator` window. When you see all the methods in current file and can immediately move to the method by clicking it's name. Got something like that on Vim by searching for /def / pattern, display results on other window, and go to the method by entering line number http://github.com/vrybas/dotvim/blob/master/rc.vim#L298 That's not standard stuff for all editors. And I pretty much can't live without it. Let's have a little holy battle here :) Do you guys have your favorite features unreachable or hardly unreachable from other editors? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
