Errorformats

Isn't this one a bit of a red herring? People should be primarily directed to learn about the :compiler command, not mess with 'efm'. Only if there isn't something available for their compiler should they worry about this.

File no longer available - mark buffer modified

Get the correct indent for new lines despite blank lines

Incremental search under cursor

Multiple Hilighted Search

Open multiple files, each in a new window or tab

Quickly switch between pager-like and editor-like scroll

Restore screen size and position

This one has some bugs, so I suggest deferring it for a while until it matures. The first script on the page doesn't really work unless you never open multiple Vims simultaneously (the original non-servername-based one would have worked, but the version currently there does not), and the second one I recently discovered has a bug: it clobbers your unnamed register. There may well be others. Needs a bit more work/polishing before featuring. 124.168.9.190 06:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
