VIM is a great editor

Ok, so I use VIM. I used to use Emacs, but I guess the starting time was bothering me. Also, for small sysadmin edits I used VIM already and I was mixing key strokes from Emacs and VIM.

• Some useful vim commands and settings

My VIM Settings

set nocompatible " We use a vim
set noautoindent
set tabstop=2       " Tabs are two characters
set shiftwidth=2    " Indents are two charactes too
set expandtab       " Do not use tabs

syntax on           " Turn on syntax hilighting

set hlsearch        " Hilight the search results
set incsearch       " Incrementally search. Like Emacs

set autochdir       " Automatically chdir to directory of the buffer

Random things that need to be put somewhere

• MITK from CSiro: http://www3.ict.csiro.au/ict/content/display/0%2C%2Ca16254_b16408_d72676,00.html
• Fairly good C++ reference: http://www.cppreference.com/index.html

Random Python Tricks

How do I get a current line number or file name from the scrip?

import inspect

f = inspect.currentframe()
print "Line number: %d" % f.f_lineno
print "File name: %s" % f.f_code.co_filename

Also, you can go up the stack and do the same thing:

lineno = inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_lineno
