And yeah, luv vimdiff. Quite the life saver. It's one editor that sort of grows on you, isn't it :) Little by little you learn more about it and in a while you can't do without it. damn I missed the full file search. And yeah, luv vimdiff.

Search and replace mainly the full file search and replace. Command :%s/old_pattern/new_pattern/ Just the basic search functionality, * to search word under cursor etc. Split mode :sp for horizontal split, :vsp for vertical, ^w + arrow key to jump focus from each split. Code folding, especially useful when dealing with huge files with many functions etc. Vim diff! vim -d for quickly checking differences b/w 2 similar files and making changes if necessary And you even learn to love some of the small things that really make a difference, like ~ to toggle the case of the alphabet under the curser etc. And of course a lot lot more, vim FTW!
