What is this history window in vim called?
(1 answer)
Closed 7 years ago.
Sometimes in vim I accidentally invoke this command line prompt:
What is this called? What keys call this feature?
It's the Command History search pane. As the shortcut is q:, I often find myself there by accident too. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_command-line_history has the full usage. :q will quit the pane, and return you to where you were.

How to go to the last edit location across all buffers in vim?
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
Is there a good command that will switch to the last buffer (and place) where an edit was made? I would prefer not to have to install a plugin just for this (but if there is no other way then I would).
This is not solved by the BufSurf plugin which actually goes back through the navigation history which was the answer to a question that sounds similar.
The previous buffer can be accessed via the alternate file: <C-^> or :e #.
gi / `^ go back to the last edit location in the current buffer.
Unfortunately, there's no command that combines both (but I personally have never missed that).

There are several, but Conque appears to be the most full-featured one.

Linux vi arrow keys broken in insert mode
When I use vi in some consoles, I can use the arrows normally. But in others if I press the up arrow, it prints an "A". I then have to press escape to use the arrows normally.
I'm guessing it's something in the terminal configuration. How do I fix this?
Try using Vim instead of vi. I was forced to use vi at uni. It's crap.

Is there a way to automatically execute the :NERDTree command when VIM is launched for the first time or configure NERDTree to always open on startup?
PLEASE CLOSE. Just noticed that this question was answered before:
Auto-open NERDTree in "EVERY" tab
Yes. Just write this line to your .vimrc :
autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree

The default behaviour of :help in Vim opens the help in a horizontal split.
I need to remap :help to instead execute :tab help as to always open the help in a new tab.
How can I remap this command?
:cabbrev help tab help
