Moving to vim
I really want to move from Komodo to vim. Sure, I love Komodo, but sometimes it can just be freakin’ annoying.
So, here’s a list of things I want vim to be able to do for me to switch:
- Display line numbers
- Split screen horizontally or vertically, and move files between the two
- Show a tree-based overview of a directory (preferably with the ability to open files from there). Showing and hiding this quickly is important.
- Use the indentation already present in a file
- Use the line-endings already present in a file
- Show me when indentation is mismatched, or allow me to turn on whitespace characters easily.
- Code folds are created automatically based on syntax/indentation/braces/whatever.
- I can complete words that I’ve typed previously.
- Tab completion.
- Tooltips or similar remind me of function parameters.
- I’m presented with valid choices for css rules.
- Autocompletion of braces, parens, end blocks, etc.
Updates will be made to this page as I find answers.
