This is one of the common things that I want to do when I want to print the photos and its truely boring job to do given the fact that the Date Photo taken is already in the image taken by the Digital Photos. So finally I wrote a simple script to do this. Here it is for anyone who might be interested:

(Note you will need the program called anotate, written by me, posted earlier and exiftool)<pre style="padding-left: 30px;">

using paragraph seperator in vi – the easy way

imap aa 80i-io

Just put this in the vimrc or in a vi session with a : in normal mode.

Explanation:

This will map the key &#8221;aa&#8221; to the sequence which will add &#8221;-&#8221; 80 times in the current line and then go to new line in insert mode. This is quite simple so any changes required should be simple enough to make.

We will look at the vim modes today. Sometime back , I was looking at copying a function body. So I was basically looking to copy the lines till matching &#8221;}&#8221;. I found a plugin called <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234" target="_blank">yankring which would allow me to yank the text in various combinations. So I can copy a function by going to the begining of the function and then &#8221;y}&#8221;. That is very simple to understand right? Wrong!!!
