{{TipProposed |id=0 |previous=0 |next=0 |created=July 6, 2012 |complexity=basic |author= |version=7.0 |subpage=/201207 |category1= |category2= }} Knowledge Management is a way to archive experiences for later reference. Knowledge Bases are such archives in electronical format -- containing plain text in most cases. This is where Vim comes in handy: i manage my Knowledge Base in a collection of plain text files; with the Vim command "gf" i can jump easily between the files (each keyword can have it's own file). The search for words or phrases is simply done from commandline or via vimgrep. Everything i write is in lowercase, so i cannot spell words differently. Like VIM, Vim, ViM or vim. For topics that easily fill multiple files, i create directories with the name of the topic. Files/keywords in such a large topic are referenced via topic/file. Works nicely -- thanks to Vim! ==References== *{{help|gf}} ==Comments== Please see [[Vim Tips Wiki:New tips/201207]] where this proposed tip will be discussed, as it is likely to be removed as it does not provide useful advice on how to use Vim.
