vim

My editor of choice, simply due to the fact that I find it extremely efficient (and readily available everyhwere).

Cheat Sheets

For newbies, taken from this graphical vi-vim Cheat Sheet and Tutorial:

(simplegallery#vimsheets)*

The full sheet is here.

Resources:

• Vim Touch, an Android app
• The pastie theme, converted from TextMate
• MacVim for Mac OS X (I don’t normally use it, since you pick up all sorts of nasty menu habits that won’t help you one whit when you’re working remotely). However, there is a great fork that sports a keyboard-aware file browser, and it’s kind of growing on me.
• webvi, a vi clone written entirely in… JavaScript
• snipMate, a plugin offering Textmate-like snippet support
• jsvi, a JavaScript implementation. Yes, it’s insane.
• vimperator, a Firefox extension that makes it look and behave like vim.
• Syntax highlighting file for Dreamweaver templates (not much useful these days, but kept for reference).
• Efficient Editing with vim
• Seven Habits Of Effective Text Editing
• Keyword Completion
• The vim Outliner
• Vigor, the Office paperclip forvi
• vim.org

Using vim as a man pager (useful for obscure UNIX variants):

export MANPAGER="col -b | view -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist' -"

Also of note is vimdiff, which everyone keeps forgetting about.
