Hello there all, i just loaded cream on ubuntu edgy because it looks like a neat app that may replace gedit for all the stuff i need to do. i have a few questions about its use though, and capabilities. i was wanting to know if cream can use any vim script ? some of the stuff i have researched about customizing vim make mention of a .vimrc file, and i cannot find one so i don't exactly know how to create one. is there a way i can get brackets and quotes to auto close, i don't know why, but i just really dig this in an editor. anyway, thanks for any tips! |

Indeed, Cream *is* Vim script, basically nothing more than a sophisticated vimrc. > some of the stuff i have researched about customizing vim make > mention of a .vimrc file, and i cannot find one so i don't exactly > know how to create one. With Cream, you want to put customizations in cream-user. There is more about this in the FAQ. > is there a way i can get brackets and quotes to auto close, i don't > know why, but i just really dig this in an editor. I don't know off the top of my head how to do it, anyone else here? -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream... usability for Vim :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

i did find one cool way i have this inoremap " ""<LEFT> inoremap ' ''<LEFT> inoremap ( ()<LEFT> inoremap [ []<LEFT> inoremap { {}<LEFT> inoremap < <><LEFT> and that works pretty well. i don't write a lot of stuff with cream / vim i kinda use JEdit to start things off, but vim is more fun to edit something with. thanks again On 1/28/07, Steve Hall <dig...@da...> wrote: > On Sun, 2007-01-28 at 15:51 -0600, shawn bright wrote: > > Hello there all, > > i just loaded cream on ubuntu edgy because it looks like a neat app > > that may replace gedit for all the stuff i need to do. i have a few > > questions about its use though, and capabilities. > > > > i was wanting to know if cream can use any vim script ? > > Indeed, Cream *is* Vim script, basically nothing more than a > sophisticated vimrc. > > > some of the stuff i have researched about customizing vim make > > mention of a .vimrc file, and i cannot find one so i don't exactly > > know how to create one. > > With Cream, you want to put customizations in cream-user.
