Hi There, you probably want to have exuberant ctags in your path before you use this. This is the vim setup I use on my machines. I generally set it up by: 1) Install real vim (apt-get install vim-addon-manager) should get it all. 2) git clone this repo to ~/Projects or whatever. 3) ln -s $prefix/vim/.vim ~/ 4) ln -s $prefix/vim/.vimrc ~/ This has a few tasty plugins with modifications for how I work. NO guarantees this will make you faster, but it makes me considerably faster at slinging C. Check out the glib snippets. They are where the magic happens.
