i am spending some time this week figuring out how to quickly toss the
browser around.. this one has always stumped me.. say i do something like this.. i type: book title: ' it get: book title: '' now, i enter a title: book title: 'the exorcist(the cursor is here)' now, my inclination is to type the closing quote to put the cursor after the quote.. this just enters another quote.. hitting tab tries to find a completion.. how can i quickly close out the quote and move on? the right arrow key seems kinda far away to have to hit very often.. thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101 |
The best way right now is to deactivate the smart characters since they are broken :)

thanks, guys.. and just in case that part is going to get worked on..
tim pope's implementation in his rails mode for vim handles smart characters very well.. but i am still not a huge fan of smart characters.. they have to be done exactly correctly to be tolerarble..
