[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] Vim Frontend for LLDB

[Jason Molenda]

That crazy cool.  I learned vi a couple decades ago and when I was finally forced to use vim because I was tired of dragging nvi along, I just turned off all the modern features I could manage to and use it like traditional vi.  So I'm having using this but it was pretty easy to get up & running.  I'll definitely play around with it some more.  Off-hand, the only problem I see is that the output to each command I use ('Ldisass -n main') is lost after I press return to end that command -- there isn't a proper console window with commands and output in it.

I noticed that having 'set compatible' in my ~/.vimrc caused there to be errors in the python vim file.

Please do add this to the repository when you have a chance.  You might finally force me use vim like vim instead of like the vi I learned in the 80's. :)
