While programming today, I came up with some nice vim bindings. If you use vim, and want tags-powered “intellisense-like” stuff, use this. Also thrown in there are hotkeys for :Tlist (indispensible vim plugin for ctags integration) and saving quickly (I save often, so I like to have a single key in either normal or insert mode).
" intellisense - yea well close enough noremap <F2> mz<C-w>1] noremap <F3> <C-w>c`za noremap <F4> <C-w>11_ " for insert mode, goes back to unmatched brace " so it's good for function prototype lookups inoremap <F2> <ESC>mz 999[(b<C-w>1] " tlist hotkeys noremap <F8> :Tlist<CR> noremap <F9> :TlistUpdate<CR> " save hotkey for normal and insert modes noremap <F10> :w<CR> inoremap <F10> <ESC>:w<CR>a
Update from the future: The remnants of this 2004 ~/.vimrc customization are still present in my $HOME dotfiles, many years later. You can find my recent .vimrc on GitHub here.
