[edit] 5. Swap sides of operator
There should be a keyboard shortcut that takes the LHS of the operator over which the cursor is and swaps it with the RHS.
So if you put the cursor over ||, it would change this:
"development" || ENV["RAILS_ENV"]
into this:
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] || "development"
It would save about 20 keystrokes every time I used it -- and I'd use it probably at least once a day.

parenthesize command

[edit] 8. Comment script should detect file type automatically
So if you're in an SQL file, it should only do SQL comments.
You should only have to tell it: single or multiline.
[edit] 8. Ruby syntax highlighting within =begin test block
Display it as Ruby code rather than as a comment.
[edit] 5. Map : and _ to something easier when editing ruby files
Since they use those symbols a lot and I don't want to do 2-key combinations when coding.
[edit] 5. Mks (:mksession "light")
Make light version of mks that just saves file names, not keymappings and everything! I want it to use my current ~/.vimrc not whatever .vimrc I happened to be using when I made the session!
[edit] 6. Autocomplete without pressing Ctrl-P?
Example: Start to type $GL and it can complete it with $GLOBALS
Or Ctrl-space?
[edit] 5. Pasting over other text erases your "" register!
It's frustrating when you copy text A, select text B, paste, select text C, and find that it pastes B rather than A!
Solution: Use
"0p
Or: map <C-p> to "0p ?
[edit] ↓ Automate constructor creation
From:
def __init__(self, files, searchExpression, replaceExpression):
make:
self.files = files
self.searchExpression = searchExpression
self.replaceExpression = replaceExpression
[edit] 5. Command to reformat SQL
Automatically fix formatting of an SQL query (could do it for other languages too)
Sometimes we come across a query that's formatted in an older style or just isn't tabbed correctly, like this:
SELECT c1, c2
FROM a
JOIN
t2
...
would fix to:
SELECT
c1,
c2
FROM
a
JOIN
t2
...
[edit] 4. t mapping for substitution
t -> :%s//gc
The t mapping (substitution) should only put a % before s if there is no selection.
Otherwise, it should use the selected range.
[edit] 4. I mapping to set paste and then insert
- execute :set paste and then insert mode
- should change back to :set nopaste when the insert command is done
[edit] 4. Jumping to line number
Should be able to do E (edit line):
:E file.php +33 :E file.php:33
to go to that line
If you put a :lineNumber and start on command line like this:
vim ./qualitysmith/lib/templateFunctions.php:33
it should jump to line 33
How? autocmd for fileNotFound error, perhaps.
[edit] 2. :Svnblame output to file in order to use vim's syntax highlighting
Instead of just outputting (with no syntax highlighting), the entire file, with lines that look sort of like:
1245 tyler // Do page request
1245 tyler $orderDetailURL = new Url($this->config->get("qualitysmith_backend_siteURL") . "order_detail.html");
, how about redirecting the svn diff to a file and showing in vim, so that we have vim's syntax highlighting, vim's search features, etc.?
But since it would be invalid syntax with the extra info, we might have to use sed to change the extra info into comments, like this:
/* 1245 tyler */ // Do page request
/* 1245 tyler */ $orderDetailURL = new Url($this->config->get("qualitysmith_backend_siteURL") . "order_detail.html");

[edit] ↓↓ Commands to change between various PHP-in-HTML formats
HTML with PHP embedded:
The price is "<?=$GLOBALS["price"]?>".
PHP heredoc string:
<<<heredoc
The price is "{$GLOBALS["price"]}".
heredoc;
PHP escaped string:
" The price is \"{$GLOBALS["price"]}\""
