I use both. I have a gvim window constantly open with several tabs of files I edit often like bookmarks or the vim cheat sheet itself. But if I want to do extensive editing on a file then I do it from eterm because I like it much better when I have a background pattern than a solid colour background. Without that I would always use gvim since it recognises some key combinations which may be problematic when using a terminal emulator. > I have read that using one instance of vim is the best usage. Cutting and pasting between different buffers using the vim internal mechanisms rather than the X clipboard works better but it's no big deal. > ViEmu: would any of the experienced vim users be able to comment on the > completeness of the "ViEmu" software and its compatibility/stability > when used with Visual Studio. I had no idea that such a thing existed. Cool. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
