Deprecated Videos
I re-recorded some videos because the originals weren’t so great :) Rather than delete them, I’ve just moved them into the deprecated section.
Vim… and stuff

Hi Derek,
once again, thanks for these great videos.
Can I ask you for a “Which kind of plugins exist for Vim (color schemes, snippets and so on) and how to install them” series?
I know, for you it can be simple, but, just to let you understand, on the “XP’s Snippet Template” page, in the installation section it is wrote:
“copy files into runtime path.
:helptags path_to_xpt/doc
:help xpt
And you need at least these 2 setting on :
set nocompatible
filetype plugin on ”
Now, a “pro” like me first say: «runtime what?»
Then: «:helptags?»
Lastly: «hmm, let’s hope Derek will make a “how to install plugins” series or I will continue to exercise with “Basic Movements part 2″»
:D

I’ve got two videos next on my list (I hope to do them in the next few days): “Welcome to Vim” to create the absolute beginner introduction thing that should be seen before basic movement and then “the runtime directory” that will be a prelude to plugins, so it’s coming soon!

Great! Thanks so much Derek.
Btw, I would contact you by the contact form in the bottom right corner of the web site but the Captcha doesn’t appear. There is just the field but not the image.

Hello Derek,
I have a simple question about: (Deprecated) Basic Editing (Screencast 1). You inserted some line numbers. The steps that I traced out are as follows (2:12 minutes into the video):
step 1) 20 o
step 2) Inserted “i” with the number one with a comma: 1,
step 3) Hit escape twice. Results the number “1,” repeated 20 times. Well, actually I heard the keyboard being hit once (not twice). Not sure if you have a bind for it. However, hitting ESC twice works for me.
step 4) CTRL-V (vb mode or CTRL-Q windows) for VB mode and selected all the number ones.
Step 5) You hit. :I which resulted in: :’I
Step 6) Not sure what you hit but the line numbers were filled in.
What was done between step 5 and step 6? When I attempt to repeat your steps I get to step 5 and have: :’I
When I hit Enter I get: E492: Not an editor command: ‘I
Your results had line numbers filled in place.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Nix

Sorry, mistyped something.
Between 5 & 6 after selecting text with VB mode you hit:
:’I
I get an error:
E492: Not an editor command :’I
What did I do incorrectly.

Ok special characters get filtered out:
E492: Not an editor command
single quote, less than sign, comma, single quote, greater than sign, I

I assume you don’t have the VisIncr plugin installed. Have a look at this video for more details.

That is correct Derek and I see know how it was done (via the video). Thank you very much.

Every time I stumble upon a really good article I usually do one of three thing:1.Forward it to my close friends.2.save it in all my best social sharing websites.3.Be sure to visit the same site where I read the article.After reading this article I’m really thinking of going ahead and doing all 3.
