What is Vim?

Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim is distributed free as charityware. If you find Vim a useful addition to your life please consider helping needy children in Uganda.

What is Vim online?

Vim online is a central place for the Vim community to store useful Vim tips and tools. Vim has a scripting language that allows for plugin like extensions to enable IDE behavior, syntax highlighting, colorization as well as other advanced features. These scripts can be uploaded and maintained using Vim online.

Visit to Kibaale

[2009-05-12] Vim comes for free. I do ask you to consider helping Vim's charity, please read on. In April I have visited the Kibaale Childrens Centre. You can read my report, with lots of pictures, here. The new clinic has become very popular. Every day many patients come here for medical help that would otherwise not be available to them. The Kibaale clinic saves lives! This popularity comes at a price. We struggle to pay for all the medicine, salaries of the medical staff, maintenance of equipment, etc. Therefore I have set up this page for sponsoring a room in the clinic. We need your help!

Vim 2009 desktop calendar

[2008-12-21] The usual Vim desktop calendar is now available for download and printing: http://www.moolenaar.net/#Calendar. If you print it on thick paper you can fold it so that it stands on your desk. One side contains a useful 12-month calendar. On the other side there is brief information about ICCF-Holland, Vim and A-A-P. Happy Vimming in 2009! (Bram Moolenaar)

The tips are located on the Vim Tips Wiki. This is a platform to exchange tips and tricks from and for Vim users. A list of patches available for Vim can be found on the vim_dev maillist pages. These add new or improved features, at the cost of having to rebuild Vim.
