It's nearly 4 month ago now, since I last blogged about my .vimrc (the main Vim config file) and the recent enhancements I added to it. This time, I go a step further as in the last 3 parts: I wrote my first own Vim script. :) Beside that there are as usual some other great enhancements and tips I collected over the past 4 month and I already have an idea of how to proceed and what I need more.

Not really, since a T-Online-Hostspot is available. :) I wish there would be WiFi all around the world... And maybe even a bit cheaper! ;) [Read full post…]
