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

CVS branch control

Note: this script accesses the Entries file directly, it has already pointed out that it should be upgraded to use the cvs status command to be independent of Entries file format changes in the future.
