I have spent lot of time doing research on VIM. I am Windows guy since last 6 yrs and was using VS. Now started working on Linux. I want to make VIM as close as possible to VS. I want features like Project Navigation Files in Different Tabs Search in Project AutoCompletion

I have found plugins for the above requirements Project Pligin MiniExplore Taglist OmniComplete

I am not able to correctly set vimrc script. When I try to open file from Project it gets open in different tabs.I want to get it open in different buffers. Also when I want to close file in buffer , complete window gets closed. Open taglist and project window makes all mess.

Has any one done settings with these plugin.. Could you guys please post your vimrc files?? It will save lot of time for newbies like me..

  1. Vim is a very different tool than Visual Studio. Plugins may help you get certain bits of functionality you desire, but do not expect them to work exactly like VS, work well together, or even work at all.

    If you are looking for a programming environment more like Visual Studio, there are many good graphical IDE’s you can use such as NetBeans, Eclipse, Code::Blocks, KDevelop, Anjuta, etc. Some of these tools are, IMHO, better heavyweight IDE’s than Visual Studio, and all are available on Linux for free.

    You should either learn to use Vim the way it was built to be used, or find a different tool that suits you better. Shoehorning Vim into a surrogate for Visual Studio will probably cause you more pain than it’s worth.
