Vim 7 - the graphical introduction

I am a hardcore Vim user - my 850+ line Vim configuration file says so ;] Vim is out in version 7 and it's really hot stuff that Bram Moolenaar and others have hacked together! Some others have text highlighted the new stuff in Vim 7, but I am going to do it with a little twist... I am going to show you some of the new stuff!

Clicking on the images will load a GreyBox window with an animation of the feature!

The completion menu

There is a really slick new menu for all kind of completion. In this demo I show this menu using Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P completion.

Intelligent completion (OmniCompletion)

There is new intelligent completion for shit loads of languages. It works by using the Ctrl-X Ctrl-O mapping. In this demo I show how it works with HTML. Time will tell how useful this really is, but it is cool - check it out:

Spell checking

Built-in spell checking for about 50 languages (enuf' said), cool stuff:

Tabs

I almost forgot this one... Tabs like one knows them from Firefox:

File browser now syntax highlighted

Just to take some of the new small improvements... the file browser is syntax highlighted! This is a little improvements that I really like:

Vimgrep - built in Grep

This is also a "small thing" that I really like:

More!

There are a lot more stuff and a lot of bug fixes. I hope I have awaken your appetite! Grab a little Vim cookie and welcome to heaven!

On the close line, I really like the highlighting of the current line, you can turn this on by inserting this into your .vimrc:

set cursorline
hi cursorline guibg=#333333 
hi CursorColumn guibg=#333333
