I often use Vim as my editor and Visual Studio 2005 as my debugger. Using this ca I can tell VS to open the file I'm currently editing.

ca vsedit :!"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\ide\devenv.exe" /edit "%"

Comments

This one gets my vote for the most useless and trivial tip ever!

All the content there is the hardcoded path.

A-ha, but how can you open the file in VS2005 at the same location you were editing in Vim? See VimTip580.
