Mapping Shell Commands in Vim

A really useful tool I use religiously is an on-the-fly mapping of a keycombo to run a shell command without leaving Vim. Say you're working on a spec, making lots of small changes and re-running the spec. Mapping that command to a couple of keystrokes saves a lot of time.

Here's an example command: :map ,r :wa\|!bundle exec rspec %<cr>

Yes, it looks like somebody puked in the prompt. Let's make some sense of this.

• :map - If you don't know what this is, go home programmer. You're drunk.
• ,r - The keycombo we'd like to use, in this case a comma followed by r

Easier Split Pane Navigation in Vim

Using Control+ww to switch panes causes a problem in ChromeOS, so I went looking for an alternative. This remaps it to Control+j (or k, h, l) to switch panes in the selected direction. Add them to your ~/.vimrc file.

nmap <silent> <c-k> :wincmd k<CR>
nmap <silent> <c-j> :wincmd j<CR>
nmap <silent> <c-h> :wincmd h<CR>
nmap <silent> <c-l> :wincmd l<CR>

Chat Like a Hacker: Command Line Gtalk with OTR and iOS Push Notifications

My workflow nowadays involves a lot of time at the shell. I've recently become a disciple of Unix as an IDE, so over time I've replaced my GUI-based dev tools with their shell-based counterparts. Sublime Text with vintage mode was quickly dumped for Vim and a few plugins. Tabs in gnome-terminal were replaced with tmux (and somewhere, a choir of angels burst into song) hosting tons of ssh or psql connections. If I don't need to look anything up online, I can work for at least a couple of hours before coming up for air at the desktop.

So naturally I started thinking about a shell-based replacement for chat. My go-to solution has always been Pidgin for its simplicity, plugins, and OTR (Off The Record) encryption support. I strictly use gtalk, so the client wouldn't need to
