Hugo Estrada's House of Wonder

I needed to see how many tabs there were in a tab delimited file because it was failing column-length validation, even though it look on excel as if it had the right number of columns. I couldn't see the tabs on vim. What was the solution?

:set list

To turn it off, just close your editor window and open it again.

Just kidding, to turn it off:
:set nolist

I guess the point where you become a vi guy is when you are typing entries on web interfaces, and you miss your vi commands to navigate and edit. It seems that Eric Uhrhane felt the same way, so he wrote jV, a great firefox plugin that will turn texareas in html forms into mini vim editors

The goods:
To record: To record "keyo' do your macroee stuff here" q
To use: @"key"

The blah, blah, blah:

Okay, so I am ready to create a new macro on vim, and then I realized that I forgot how to make one. :(

I found this entry on how to do it. The best part about it is that the author forgot to talk about how you turn off the recording, so then the possibility of recursively calling the macro while you are recording was brought up. Nothing makes you smile like a random encounter with recursion!
