Making Vim Better! (If possible, anymore!)

Well, I came across a couple of blogs which give beautiful insight about making vim better. I wondered how vim can be any better than it actually is now! Now, I'm doing all the things they've done.

Steve Losh's blog

Mir Nazim's blog

To compile vim with Gvim support from source, I followed this guide - It was perfect! Note: I've had to

apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-gtk


and then sudo make install for the newly compiled vim to take over the older ones. And, the configure options i used were:

./configure --enable-perlinterp=yes --enable-pythoninterp=yes --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gnome2 --with-compiledby=sddhrthrt --with-vim-name=vi --enable-multibyte

More on what i've done, soon.
