VIM Users and their Vim Pages

106 User listed

This page lists users of the editor VIM with their own page about their VIM setup and with tips and tricks that they use with their everyday editing; some of them also maintain a syntax file for some language and maybe even maintain a binary of Vim for some operating system.
Or as Nick Hibma put it: "I presume it is just a general list of people thinking that life is nice and vim in particular." :-)

So please join - even if you do not have a dedicated vim page. All info on this page might help - even if just to see what environment people are using vim.

Check it out! :-)

Looking forward to *your* vim page. --Sven


Sven's setup files (gvimrc and vimrc)

I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that I have spent a lot of time commenting my vimrc to give examples and a quite a few tips. This vimrc might become an extensive web page some day, but I usually find it easier to add the info directly to it. Please take a look at it:

Feedback on my setup files is very very welcome! :-)

Avner is the author of the helpfile about "rightleft mode" (rightleft.txt) using vim for writing in Hebrew. Just ask him if you need help!
"The shell setup dynamically creates the environment (EXINIT, VIMINIT, GVIMINIT) in .cshrc (if $TERM was changed). This is a peculiar setup, because I use both vi and vim, and I wanted to have common options in one place."

Environment: "My Amiga is a good old A2000, with 1MB RAM. It has a 68030 CPU card at 25MHz with 2MB RAM. Speedwise this is comparable to an Intel386. The screen is a 14" Philips 8833 (TV frequencies). I would upgrade it to a 68040 or 68060, if I would find a cheap CPU card. Would be better to get an A4000 and a better monitor, but the Amiga is a dead-end, I don't want to invest much in it anymore.
My "old" PC is a 200 MHz AMD K6, 64MB RAM, four disks totalling 11 Gbyte. It runs FreeBSD-2.2.1. The screen is 17" (1280x1024).
My "new" PC is a 233 MHz AMD K6, ... This is my main workhorse now.
I've got a 10MHz Ethernet between the two PCs for easy file access. For the Amiga I need to use 720K floppies (that's why the Amiga distribution files have been cut down now)."

    Moved the info on "Syntax Coloring Setup Files Maintainers" onto a page of its own - the "Vim Languages Page":
  • https://www.vim8.org/lang.html

    980703
    Removed the links to vimrcs. Please link these from your own vim page - thanks!

    980514
    • Removed the entry "Email:" to shorten them.
    • Removed the "mailto links" as I do not want "address harvesters" to get them that easily off this page. The mail address is now put directly after the name.
    • Only two dates now - the date of first entry and the date of last change. They also go after the name and email address.
    • Removed all links to homepages as these usually can easily be derived from the address of the vim page by simply removing the "/vim".
    • Made link to vim page the first link in each entry. That's the way I intended this page to be.
