Like many of you, my custom Vim configuration is stored in my ~/.vimrc, with the plugins, colors, etc. stored under ~/.vim/plugins, ~/.vim/colors, etc.
I want to share a single Vim configuration among many servers. Some of these servers run Vim 7, some run the older Vim 6. Most Vim plugins are intended…

I've followed the exact instructions in ":help matchit", but % still doesn't work for me.

I store, commands found at http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse, in a text file.
If I open this text file in Vim and I want to execute the command where the cursor is actually located I do copy the line with Y, switching to command mode with : and !CTRL+r*
Is there a more "lazy" possibility ;)

Like the title says.
I would love to know how, with VimScript, I can do an if statement, that checks if %Y (for statusline) exists in the current file. This is what I have so far:

let filetype=extend('%:Y')
let filetype+= ",\ "
else
let filetype=""
endif
This…

The things I'd like to know are:
Is a particular function defined?
Which source file is a given function defined in?
What are the vimscript files…

Hi,
I am switching to using Vim for for my LaTeX editing environment. I would like to be able to tex the source file from within Vim, and launch an external viewing if the compile was successful.
I know about the Vim-Latex suite, but, if possible, would prefer to avoid using it: it is pretty heavy-weight…

I'm working with a lot of anonymous functions, ie functions declared as part of a dictionary, aka "methods". It's getting pretty painful to debug, because I can't tell what function the errors are happening in.
Vim's backtraces look like this:
Error detected while processing function NamedFunction…
