The problem is that it doesn't scale well. If you write a lot of *generic* functions, not applicable to any particular filetype, your best bet is probably to put them in autoload plugins or something along these lines. > I guess one-liners could go into one's .vimrc, but anything much > bigger like 20-30 lines chunks would soon become unmanageable. Yes, that's another point. My functions (the generic ones, at least) are pretty short, maybe 10 lines maximum, so they don't clutter my ~/.vimrc, but if you have maybe 10 functions with let's say... 25 lines each, that's *a lot* of clutter. In that case, although the number of functions is pretty low, I would put them in separate files and I would source them (or use the autoload plugin solution, which looks a bit overkill to me, but then again I haven't had startup speed problems with Vim yet). > P.S.

I edit my email with Vim using a Firefox extension because I can't stand the GMail builtin editor (it is rich-text or whatever) or the Firefox editor for textboxes (which is way too simple). So, my email should be in plain text, with no coloring set up in my side. But, whenever I edit email with Vim (this one, for example), my signature appears in a different color because the syntax highlighting, and some MUAs (mutt, Claws if I recall correctly, maybe others) color signatures differently if they detect the magic "-- " at the start of a line. Please note the space after "--", because it is part of the magic. If that separator is detected, the rest of the message is considered a signature and rendered in a different color, just like in Vim. So, no effort on my end except adding "-- " and the signature. A job that, by the way, is done by Vim entirely. Vim also takes the job of creating the salute and the attribution line automatically using the information contained in the original attribution line put there by GMail. Vim makes GMail tolerable as a MUA ;) -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
