Vi/VIM and Unix/Linux cheatsheets.

2009-10-26 1 min read Linux

I found quite a lot of good information today morning.

Some really good info on vi/vim. I liked the this one:”Also, you don’t have to use the / command as a separator. Anything typed after s will become the separator”

Come to the fairyland of rpmrebuild. Create the rpm from the installed files and give a new number if required.

stop indentation on current file in vim to keep the indentation from copied text.

2009-10-22 1 min read Linux Vim Tips

I have been looking for this for quite some time. Finally found two easy ways to do it:

:setlocal noautoindent
:setlocal nocindent
:setlocal nosmartindent
:setlocal indentexpr=

Just use the above four commands when the file is already open to stop all the indentation/smart indentation/auto indentation in vim for the current file. If you want to map it then you can use shorthand notations and map it in the .vimrc file.
