OMG - VIM

Yup, today is the day I started liking VIM
=)

This is kinda funny though, as my previous experience with Visual Studio is much much better than using VIM, but somehow, it just feel right.

Actually, I think that there is something in VIM that all programmer like: the ability to NOT follow convention. Surely, navigating with H, J, K, L is difficult, but why follow everyone else and use arrow key =)). After all, they are just conventions, not compulsory!

Nevertheless, I should start posting something about coding here:

This is an old habit of mine ever since I use Windows: CTRL - S to save.
In VIM, this actually makes the program hangs. However, according to the developers, this only "stop the data from arriving so that you can stop a fast scrolling display to look at it" (Refer Here)

To compensate for that, just do a CTRL - Q.

This actually helps a lot since I don't have to disconnect from my Unix server in school again :)
