A non negligeable amount of C tips are useful in C# & Java as well -- all the tips related to brackets (#855 and duplicates) and keywords (#842), comments, ctags, folding, ... Some C++ tips are tunable for Java & C# (automatic accessors generation, doxygenation, refactorisation, context-analysis, ...) ; and the other way around. Most C# tips should be usable in Java ; and the other way around. > Thus simply merge C and C++ to C, and delete Cat:C++. Adapt category text > afterwards. Keep the rest as is. > > Any objections? On the long run, mine -- I expect the C++ category to be needed. But, anyway let's first take inventory of the tips, merge the duplicate ones, and we'll see -- my impression may be biaised by the fact there are a lot of duplicate tips BTW, on the short run, I'd rather have C++ redirected to C than deleted. -- Luc Hermitte _______________________________________________ Vim-l mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-l
