Editor Learning Curves

March 7th, 2008

The importance of software tools can never be understated. For a developer, choosing the right text editor is a very important choice. Do you use notepad? pico? ed? nano? emacs? vim?

If you’re looking to swap editors or looking for an upgrade, maybe this picture can help. It’s one of my favorites.

If these don’t suit your need, maybe you should try editing source code with butterflies.

Vim plugin for AccuRev – 1.0 Release

January 31st, 2008

I’m happy to announce the first gold release of the AccuRev SCM integration for Vim!

For those AccuRev users Vim plugin - File Editingout there that know the true power of the vim editor, life just got even better. Now you can perform over 30 commands directly within vim including keep [\k], promote [\p], update [\u], merge [\m], revert [\rb], diff [\db], status search [\s], and more! The plugin is per-buffer so you can work on multiple files concurrently and perform AccuRev actions on each file Vim plugin - Multiple=independently. In addition, you can work in either console or GUI (gvim) mode! Here are some additional screenshots of the plugin in action.

This vim plugin has its own site at www.vim4accurev.com for downloads, announcements, documentation and user feedback (ala blog style). You can download the plugin from the download page.

The plugin currently requires Vim 7.x and supports AccuRev 4.5.x and the latest 4.6.x. I developed and tested the plugin on both linux (Ubuntu 7.10) and Windows (XP) platforms.

Important note: While the plugin was developed by an AccuRev employee (me) and vim-user for 10+ years, it is considered a third-party open-source plugin and is not officially supported by the folks @ AccuRev support. That being said, I’m proud of the plugin and welcome feedback and enhancement requests for the next release. You’ll find my contact information on the plugin website.
