Hi!
Anyone is using Gvim on windows to code?
Can I have pymel / maya.cmds autocomplete working inside Vim?

I heard that is really good if you get used to.
Any toughs / suggestions regarding Vim?

Thank you guys!!

Ya i used to use it for python work, and i still use vim for fast edits. But it took a lot of work and plugins to make to auto correct and work well with python code.
These days i find it is easier to bring VIM style controls and bindings to a IDE than it is to try and bring the features of a IDE to vim.

I mostly work with Python, Java, C# and C++, and PyCharm, Intellij and Visual Studio all got excellent VIM plugins.

Also be aware that the learning curve on VIM is very very steep.

Thanks passerby!
I think I’ll stick for now to sublime for my scripting purposes. I don’t want to spend much time learning vim if I can get more or less the same as another editor.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

Ya once you learn how the motions and macros work in vim, it is extremely fast and powerful, it just has a large learning curve and it takes a lot of work and plugins to give it the features of a modern IDE when it comes to code inspection.

For python i found PyCharm to be the best editor by far, also all the JetBrains Ide’s support IdeaVIM which is a realy good vim extension.
