Hi all,
after being fed up by Eclipse's slowness/memory usage, I've decided to
see if Vim could replace it. I've already found numerous nice plugin's
that each implement part of the functionality of Eclipse:
- quickfix
- clewn/vimgdb
- Taglist
- Project
Configuring it all to work nicely together is another matter. I could of
course spend a couple of days learning how to write vim scripts and
rolling my own solution. But as I'm probably not the first to try to use
Vim as an IDE, there must be a nice all-in-one solution out there
somewhere. Or that's what I thought anyway. I can't seem to find any!
Is the anything like Cream that turns Vim into a development
environment? I'm thinking about something that includes all those
plugins and has easy-to-remember shortcut keys mapped to actions such as
build, debug, name completion etc.
For name completion, it's probably best to use vim-standard
completion keys, there are too few of them anyway.
But for everything else, I suggest that you
prepare to define your own key mappings.
I find often then keys easiest-to-remember for me are
keys I mapped myself. Once you mastered to map keys
in your vimrc, it's easy and you're on the way to your very
own vimrc with your very own key mappings that are easy
to remember for *you*. Don't expect that
keys that someone X finds rememberable is also
rememberable for someone Y. That's why I find it
important to make your own mappings.
