New tips November 2010

For each proposed new tip:

  • Is it worth keeping as a separate tip?
  • Should it be merged into an existing tip? Which?
  • If it should be kept, is it ready for release? Which points need fixing? Should it be renamed?

Please edit this page (not the talk page) in the appropriate section below the following table.
Alternatively, comments can be posted on the mailing list.

General comments (not for a specific tip)

C++ code completiongoogle

Delete. Don't bother with a redirect. --Fritzophrenic 21:59, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Agree. I have flagged the page for deletion in case someone is watching it, and we can delete it in a few days if no further discussion occurs. JohnBeckett 11:25, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Combine quickfix steps

Keep. Looks useful. Put in quickfix category if we have one. --Fritzophrenic 22:16, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Agree. We have some tips that mention getqflist (76, 203, 692, 1639), but none duplicate this topic. I don't think we have a quickfix category; I'll think about that. JohnBeckett 11:25, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
Category:Compiler is close enough for now. Maybe we ought to reword the category introduction...or just make a new category. Also added the above to a "see also" section. --Fritzophrenic 04:05, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

How to create a dictionary for every .NET component - a project plan

Delete. No real content useful to Vim users. This seems to be just a proposal for a plugin. The links have nothing to do with Vim. --Fritzophrenic 22:04, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Quick switching two alternate commented out blocks in C++

Clever, but not much to do with Vim. Tentative delete per normal process. Possibly with a mapping to insert the construct it is worth keeping. It is easy enough to use blockwise visual selection to accomplish the task in a more reliable fashion anyway. --Fritzophrenic 22:09, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Agree. I have flagged the page for deletion in case someone is watching it. I noted on the tip that it would be confusing if read by a programmer not familiar with the idea, and that there are plenty of comment/uncomment plugins (our tips are 271, 369, 388, 660, 981, 1570, but I think there are good plugins for this). I don't see a need to wait for longer than a few days (and it can always be undeleted if someone raises an issue later than that), but if you want to wait with this one, that's fine.
