With these two mapped keys I can switch the current VIM window to the
$PWD of the file I am currently editing and then execute the command
to run a terminal in the directory. Almost perfect, but while in
terminal the gVim file is unavailable. Is there a way to run the
terminal concurrent with the opened file so I can edit the file, run
commands in the terminal to edit the file and back and forth like
that?
Change the second mapping to:
nmap <silent> <leader>te :!/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal &<CR>
The ampersand tells your shell to run the command in the background.
also, it seems like gVim gets hung up when I run a sed command let's
say on the file. I get a message box informing me the file has changed
with the options to hit ok or load file. [...]
[...] I use sed so much to edit html files I try to escape as little
as I can get away with and so sed -ri functionality is what I am
looking for.
Instead of using :!sed -ri {sed program here} %
Try: :%!sed -r {sed program here}
In the first case, Vim launches a shell and runs `sed` with the current
file as an argument. Vim has no way to know that you've intentionally
run it with the '-i' in-place replacement, so it runs its usual "The
file changed from under me" logic. In the latter case, Vim is filtering
the selected lines through the `sed` program ('%' is equivalent to a
range of 1,$ [i.e. the entire file]).
