Did you even use it?
I can't ask questions if I haven't used it? I have no interest of trying this out since it's mac exclusive.

#32Looks pretty neat. Good work folks. I wrote a blog post sometime back to setup macvim that looks exactly same as your projects. Good thing is that I don't have to do all that hard work to set it up and just use yours instead. :)
Here is that blog post. http://vinitkumar.me/articles/2014/01/03/Setup-Macvim-for-ma...

#33Does anybody know how to really close a tab in vim? When I type t on a file to open it in a tab and then type :q, it looks like ist closed. But when I type :ls I see that its still open.

`:bdel` is what you're looking for. ;-)

Problem with ":bd" or ":bdel" is that it leaves open the last tab:
1) in the shell run "vim ."
2) hit "t" on a file
3) type ":bdel"
The tab is still open.

#36I am missing a "Why should I use this instead of MacVim?" section on that website.
Re: VimR – Refined Vim Experience for OS X
#37I have low enthusiasm for this project because I don't see a big added-value above NerdTree and CtrlP.
But I would love to see more cross-platform Gui wrappers and more embedded Vim. I'm hopeful that NeoVim will help make this happen.
NeoVim seems to be making really good progress. There are packages for installing on OSX and Linux. In my daily use NeoVim has been solid. I love the direction that NeoVim is taking, and believe it will be a great foundation for embedded vim.

#38ugh more OSX embrace extend extinguish. Apple doesn't even have to pay people to write more lock in anymore.
Re: VimR – Refined Vim Experience for OS X
#39Hey, there are some great things in here. I've used it for a bit this morning, and have a couple of comments:
1. I could not figure out how to change the font. I'd love a smaller font.
2. The "show" and "hide" side bar shortcuts should be merged into a single "toggle" shortcut
3. Generally, shortcuts should be more vim-y. If I wanted to do cmd + } I would be using emacs :)
4. could not find a keyboard shortcut to change focus from the editor to the sidebar, so I have to use my mouse there (bad).
5. Quick open does not have vim-like navigation. So I need to use the arrows to select a file in the list. Also, is there a way to set an ignore list? (e.g. ignore all the object files).
6. Long term, it would be amazing if gui actions could be tied to keyboard shortcuts via the vimrc.
Re: VimR – Refined Vim Experience for OS X
#40What other keyboard shortcuts are available other than hjkl? It looks not even the arrow keys work.
There are quite a few, and they're documented on the wiki[1].
If you find that there's a specific feature missing, please open an issue. All feedback is appreciated :) This is still very much a work in progress.
