Working with Multiple Buffers

http://lanzarotta.tripod.com/vim.html

Open a new file:

:e filename

Create a new window:

:vsplit or :split

To switch between windows:

Ctrl + w w

Bash shell binding

Add this to your bashrc

set -o vi

Thanks Polvi!

Code folding

zf zo zc type thing.

Line Numbering

:set number

Check PHP Syntax

map <f9> :w<CR>:!php -l %<CR>

Toggle numbering

map <C-M> :set nonumber<CR>
map <C-N> :set number<CR>

Switching and minimizing between vertical buffers

map <C-J> <C-W>j<C-W>_
map <C-K> <C-W>k<C-W>_
