Un número de paquetes para Vim packages esta disponible en los repositorios por defecto que han sido compilados con diferentes caracteristicas. Puede buscar algunas empleando:

apt-cache -n search vim

Un número de paquetes provistos para Vim han sido compilados con características como:

Si usted quiere utilizar solamente la linea de comandos, puede instalar el paquete vim-nox  (se instala con el paquete vim-common como una dependencia).

Si se esta utilizando un entorno de escritorio basado en GNOME, instale vim-gnome (lo ejecutara como ha sido compilado con dependencias de las librerias de GNOME tales como: libgnome2, libbonoboui2).

Have you ever tried to compare 2 files on OSX? It's possible with FileMerge, but it is not so convenient. So I tried to find a way that makes it possible to select a file in Finder as a reference file and then a second file you want to compare with it. Of course I could use the Terminal, but the goal was to do it in the GUI with the Finder. Here is how I do it. If you have a better way let me know.

1 - create a new service

Start 'Automator' and create a new Service.

2 - select "run shell script"

Select "Run Shell Script" from the "Utilities" category.

3 - compare this ...

Make sure the settings are like in the image. Service receives selected files or folders in Finder. Shell is /bin/bash and pass input as arguments. And then echo the first parameter $1 (which will be the file you select in the active Finder window) and redirect it into a file of your choice. I use ~/.compare which would be a hidden file in my user home directory. Save this service with a proper name e.g. "compare_this".

echo $1 > ~/.compare

4 - ... to that

Repeat the steps 1, 2 and the settings of step 3 and instead of the echo you call your favorite diff/merge tool with what is selected now in Finder and compare it with what we selected before. So in case of MacVim it's ...

/usr/local/bin/mvim -d $1 `cat ~/.compare` &

Save the Service as e.g. "compare_to_that".

Explanation to step 4

/usr/local/bin/mvim is the path to my MacVim

-d is the parameter which starts Vim in diff mode

$1 is the file currently selected in the Finder window

cat ~/.compare means put the content of the file right here. cat is for printing files and the backticks put the output of cat right there. $(cat ~/.compare) may also work, I haven't tried it.

& ampersand to run MacVim in the background so the we do not wait for the process to finish

If I remember correct that's all. The services should now be available in the context menu in Finder. If you like you can go to the keyboard settings and give hotkeys to both services.

5 - compare files

The solution above is good and necessary when the 2 files you want to compare are placed in different dirctories. But when the files are in the same directory then it's annoying. I created a 3rd Automator service which takes 2 selected files as input.

/usr/local/bin/mvim -d $1 $2

If you guys have started using vimdiff lately, here are the simplest and the first step to use Vimdiff.

First, you can type Ctrl + W and then w (be careful with the cases), then you can switch to the other split window.

Now, move focus on the diff, then type two keys:

zo (open fold)

zc (close fold)

Looks great. Now when you make any edits, then type following to recalculate the diff:

:diffupdate

Fix: vimdiff: Jump to next difference inside line? #it #dev #programming

vimdiff: Jump to next difference inside line?

vimdiff is very handy for comparing files. However, I often use it on files with long lines and relatively few differences inside the lines.

vimdiff will correctly highlight differences inside a line (whole line pink, differing characters red). In these cases, it would be nice to be able to jump to the next difference inside the line.

You can jump to…

How to: Viewing all `git diffs` with vimdiff

Viewing all `git diffs` with vimdiff

I have setup git diff to wrap into vimdiff, using “Git Diff with Vimdiff” as a guide, and it’s working as expected unless there are many files with changes. When there are multiple files with changes and I run git diff, it opens the first file and after quitting the first instance of vimdiff I’m presented with the following message: “external diff died,…
