David Clark is a web developer and this is where he writes about developing the web.

In this post I'm going through my vim config trying to explain as much as I can all the config options that I use. My work is 99% Ruby on Rails and I use vim to do it so expect my config to have a focus on Ruby.

Nice walkthrough of somebody's vimrc. Good info whether or not you use Rails or are or are not an actual Ninja.

Preserve selection after indentation

In the default configuration, if you use visual mode (v) to select some text, then indent it with > or <, the selection disappears. To make it so the selection is preserved, add this to your .vimrc:

" Preserve selection after indentation vmap > >gv vmap < <gv

To enable using tab and shift-tab to indent while in visual mode, add this:

" Map tab to indent in visual mode vmap <Tab> >gv vmap <S-Tab> <gv

Pass is the standard unix password manager, a lightweight password manager that uses GPG and Git for Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X.

Looks really nice, though for now I'm sticking with LastPass because of the iPhone app. (Pass has one, but I don't think it's in the App Store.)
