I am a fairly novice user of vim. One thing I worry about is
accidentally changing something on the file without being aware of it by
accidental keystrokes, etc.
Is there an easy way of seeing all the changes which have been made to
the current file being edited? a "live" diff so to speak?
There is a command included in the vimrc_example.vim file distributed with Vim,
called :DiffOrig.
This command will open a scratch buffer containing the current on-disk file
contents, and diff it with your current unsaved buffer. Then you can see all
the changes you've made.
Alternatively, there are also plugins that just let you know what lines have
changed, for example, http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3052 for
changes since you started editing, or
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4487 for changes since the last
commit in your version control system.
This is not directly related but it might be helpful as well: there is also
gundo plugin which shows undo tree in a nice format.

Best regards,
Marcin
