With so many Open Source apps that have very cryptic and mostly
useless documentation if any this is probably the best one around in
regards to documentation and tips or help that actually helps.
It is also nice to know there are number of people that like to keep
the docs and help and tips in good order and useful.
Thank you to all of you that do that. That also goes for Bram for
coding this app to begin with.
This is be far my favorite editor. There is still a lot for me to
learn to make my editing go a lot faster and easier. In spite of that
it is my favorite. Actually it is the only text editor I use. I have
been using this editor for about 6 years and I only started using it
daily for the about the last 4 months. I am still reading through all
the email from this list I have been getting for the last 2 years.
Thank You, Cheers, Smiles give yourselves a hand!
Yeah, you can say that again.
When I saw Vim's help I became wedded to it. It brought me back to my
learning days as a mainframe programmer in the early seventies, where
there were paper books about everything, published by the computer
company, you just had to ask for them.
On a PC, I've never seen any other software item that comes even close
to Vim in terms of usefulness and completeness of the documentation; and
while I was here it has even got better: e.g. the helphelp.txt helpfile,
about finding your way through the help, is a relatively recent
development, I think it appeared with Vim 7, and a few versions before
that, 6.2 I think, the :helpgrep command was a great addition.
Best regards,
Tony.
