Objectively, vim is the best editor to use for writing code in, except when it isn't. Here are some things to make it better:
Contents |
Perltidy
This will make pressing F6 tidy the whole file. Alternately, you can use visual mode to select a block to tidy.
" Allow easy running of perltidy when editing a perl file, bound to 'Ctrl+t' :au Filetype perl nnoremap <C-t> :%!perltidy -q -npro<CR> :au Filetype perl vnoremap <C-t> <line1>,<line2>!perltidy -q -npro<CR>
With this, pressing Ctrl+t will tidy the whole file.
However, using V to select a block, pressing Ctrl+t will only tidy that block.
This is good for cleaning up the code around where you've been working if it's not adhering to a style.
Some info on Koha's offical perltidy style is here
Perl-support
Perl-support adds many Perl helper functions to your environment, giving you quick access to all sorts of useful things. There's also a handy printable key reference list there.
Perl-debugging
See Debugging in VIM for a guide to setting up interactive debbuging from within vim.
.vimrc
Here are a number of nice additions one can put in .vimrc
