Allright, I see the point. I will look into VAM, and go on looking for individual plugins, if I think I need one. I have one question left. \quote: "we have rudimentary support for most programming languages bundled with vim." How can I learn more about that? I cannot find anything about that with google. It would really help me if I knew how to compile or debug source-code, from within vim. Greetz, Chiel -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
