I'm sure I've seen this in vim, but I can't find it now. Isn't there a statusline config item that shows any pending command prefix chars you've typed?
I think you want :set showcmd —"Show partial command in the last line of the screen".
For me it's a lot quicker to reference comments than the :help entry for each option. Thought it might help others who are creating/modifying their .vimrc.
And of course, thanks Steve for continuing to share your stuff. I'm in love with Vim, and a lot of that's thanks to you.

There are a bunch of different methods for folding (indentation, manual markers, custom syntax-based folding, etc), and which one you want usually depends on the file type.
I have a bunch of autocommands for different files that set the foldmethod appropriately. For example:
augroup ft_vim
au!
au FileType vim setlocal foldmethod=marker foldmarker={{{,}}}
augroup END
augroup ft_js
au!
au FileType javascript setlocal foldmethod=marker foldmarker={,}
augroup END
