  Using MacVim as your git mergetool 

  Install MacVim and the command line tool, mvim.

  Then in your ~/.gitconfig add this, thusly (replacing the path to mvim with the correct one):

  [merge]
  tool = mvim
  [mergetool “mvim”]
  cmd=/Users/tjweir/bin/mvim -d -g $LOCAL $MERGED $REMOTE
  keepbackup=false

  Then you can “git mergetool” all you’d like.

  Vim Tips: window splits 

  I use Vim for pretty much everything on every machine I use. Using Vim requires constant learning of all the commands. Sometimes commands that I use get pushed out of my head by newer commands. Such is the case with splits. Here are a few commands that I find useful:

  (You can find all the them here as well.)

  :split – splits the current file into two panes
  :split filename.c – splits the the window into 2 panes, one with filename.c, one with the current file.

  CTRL-W + embiggens the pane by one line
  CTRL-W – deembiggens the pane by one line

  :close – close the current pane
  :only – close all but the current pane

  Liftweb + ctags + vim 

  [Updated: 2008/12/10]

  This is how I set up /Lift/, ctags, and vim (on OS X and Ubuntu):

  Add some scala definition to ctags:

  ty@Astra:~$ cat /home/ty/.ctags
  --langdef=scala
  --langmap=scala:.scala
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*trait[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/t,traits/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*type[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/T,types/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*def[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_\?]+)/\1/m,methods/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*val[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/C,constants/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*var[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/l,local variables/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*package[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)/\1/p,packages/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*case class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,case classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*final case class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,case classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*object[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/o,objects/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*private def[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/pd,defs/
  

  Build the tags file:

  ty@Astra:~$ /opt/local/bin/ctags -h ".scala" -R --exclude=*.js -f liftags /Users/tjweir/g/clean/liftweb/
  

  I prefer to keep the tags file, in this case liftags, in the root of home. Put it where you want.

  Add the tags location to ~/.vimrc

  set tags=/home/ty/liftags
  

  Now you can open a file and execute

  :tag LiftSession

  and jump to the file.

  Presentation on Vim 

  Vim has been my editor of choice for a long time and I try to expand my knowledge of commands all the time. I was particularly impressed with “Vim for PHP Programmers” by Andrei Zmievski.

  It’s well worth a read as a refresher and as an introduction to new commands.

  Vim blogging plugin 

  I’ve switched to vimpress as my blogging utility.

  I like it more than the web interface of wordpress. Plus is one more thing that I can do from the comfort of Vim. Beautiful vim.

  Taskpaper and Vim. 

  Taskpaper is for “…Mac users who want a simpler way to stay organized and get things done. TaskPaper is a simple to-do list that’s surprisingly adept. Unlike the competition, TaskPaper’s text based interface is focused on paper-like simplicity.”

  It’s cool, simple to use and quite useful. What is more useful is the vim plugin that replicates the Taskpaper idea. [Link fixed]

  It’s so good, I bought a copy of Taskpaper.

  P.S. If you’re going to use taskpaper.vim I would highly recommend editing your favourite colourscheme to highlight the taskpaper bits.
  I use vibrantInk and added this:

      hi taskpaperDone guifg=#444444
      hi taskpaperProject guifg=#66FF00
      hi taskpaperTodo gui=NONE guifg=#F0E68C guibg=#FF00FF (Line break)
         cterm=NONE ctermfg=lightyellow ctermbg=lightmagenta
      hi taskpaperListItem guifg=#FF6600
      hi taskpaperContext guifg=#33999
