Vim tips

:set wildmenu
:set nocompatible

And now try with some command like :color the bottom status line changes to your choice line, which you can choose from using the arrow keys.


Struggled a lot with :put command to basically do some text processing work. I had to repeat a a block of text, formatted in a particular way, and in each block changing and incrementing the number.
My skills with vim are so less that I spent some 2 hours trying the ways, I could do that, (meanwhile, learnt many new things) only at the end to go back to the normal routine unintelligent way, which I was able to do it in 1/2 hour. The completion of the job was more important.
