Things to Remember

Holy moly. Don't forget that "Jump to tag under cursor" is CTRL-] and NOT CTRL-J!!!
Using ctags (Guide)
Running into issues with YouCompleteMe unable to find system headers? Solution here.
:args dir/* (or :next dir/*)to open multiple files in their own buffers from within VIM (vim dir/* from terminal)
Difference in map commands
Deleting content between XML/HTML tags

.gvimrc(as you might expect) is only used by gvim
