VIM7

A few days ago our favorite editor ViM was released under the new major version 7. According to the announce mail some new exciting stuff was included, like

  • Spell checking support for about 50 languages
  • Intelligent completion for C, HTML, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.
  • Tab pages, each containing multiple windows
  • Highlighting of cursor line, cursor column and matching braces
  • Printing multi-byte text

For a complete list please read the announcement. While I am still waiting for a upgraded port for FreeBSD its nice to see that vim compiles out-of-the-box on a 6-STABLE. :)

The Vim 7 – the graphical introduction is a nice way to see the new features in action.
