Wiki: Tofer

Tofer is a #Vim regular during Eastern US working hours. He is rarely seen at night or on weekends, because he has a real life (and a family)!

Tofer's Vim advice

• Learn to use the :help. Know the difference between :help foo, :help 'foo and :help c_foo.
• Try ctrl-D completion on help topics
• If you find yourself trying to do some major text munging on a file, and digging through the :help for esoteric regex tricks, consider using Perl.
