mhion Vim Galore: everything you need to know about Vim

Thanks!

mhion Vim Galore: everything you need to know about Vim

"simple" as in?

My intention is not only to show how to use Vim, but also list other programs often used in combination with Vim, explaining typical issues people encounter, historical facts, internal details, easter eggs, and so on.

So, yes, "all things Vim". :-)

It will keep growing, but I'll split it up so each section gets its own file.

mhion ANN: vim-signify 1.9

As the author of the plugin I posted this, because I think that vim-signify (or just Sy) 1.9 is feature-complete in regard to VCS handling. Beginning with 2.0 new features will be added, like signs for marks, breakpoints etc.

mhion Vim 7.3.1000

NOTE: If you experience troubles with more complicated regular expressions in the next time, it might be because of the new engine.

mhion Vim-signify - my approach of a gutter plugin

I just added a short explanation to the README:

Yes, I knew about vim-gitgutter before, I even contributed to it. But in the end I just didn't like the codebase and started my own plugin. And because I like programming VimL.

The main difference is probably the support for other DVCS. Moreover, execution speed and high configurability are two of the design goals.
