What I do is :!gvim -c ‘MyMake’ ( where MyMake is the custom command which can switch to appropriate dir, make, and copen 20. ) and I am doing my job while build goes in the other window. Other option: You can redirect make progress to some file from the shell or within vim (:!make&). … Read more
I found an answer here http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Restoring_indent_after_typing_hash It seems that the vim smartindent option is the cause of the problem. The referenced page above describes work-a-rounds but after reading the help in smartindent in vim itself (:help smartindent), I decided to try cindent instead of smartindent. I replaced set smartindent with set cindent in my .vimrc … Read more
Try Jedi! There’s a Vim plugin at https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim. It works just much better than anything else for Python in Vim. It even has support for renaming, goto, etc. The best part is probably that it really tries to understand your code (decorators, generators, etc. Just look at the feature list).
Most vi (and therefore vim) features were derived from ed. vi and ed both predate perl by at least a decade or two. A better question might be “why doesn’t Perl use the same regex syntax as vi?”. Of course, one could also argue that the kinds of regular expressions that one would wish to … Read more

To make it work cross-platform, just put the following in your vimrc: nmap <F3> i<C-R>=strftime(“%Y-%m-%d %a %I:%M %p”)<CR><Esc> imap <F3> <C-R>=strftime(“%Y-%m-%d %a %I:%M %p”)<CR> Now you can just press F3 any time inside Vi/Vim and you’ll get a timestamp like 2016-01-25 Mo 12:44 inserted at the cursor.

The closest equivalent (“closest”, not “exact”) to ST2’s Ctrl+P is a plugin called, get ready… CtrlP. There are other similar plugins like Command-T or FuzzyFinder. I use CtrlP and I love it but I wholeheartedly support your decision to go “plugin-free”. It’s not the easiest way to go but it will pay off in the … Read more
Ctrl-C will stop file load. If the file is small enough you may have been lucky to have loaded all the contents and just killed any post load steps. Verify that the whole file has been loaded when using this tip. Vim can handle large files pretty well. I just edited a 3.4GB file, deleting … Read more
