Pasting in Vim, before or after cursor…

After being annoyed by the behavior of the "+gP command in Vim, I decided to look in the help documentation for how to paste after the cursor rather than before.

It turns out to be very simple, from the help:

["x]gP     Just like "P", but leave the cursor just after the new
                text.  {not in Vi}

versus:

["x]gp     Just like "p", but leave the cursor just after the new
                text.  {not in Vi}

Now I just need to retrain my brain to use a lowercase p.

foobar2000 WIP PlayList Display (SimPlaylist)

Recently, I’ve switched from iTunes to using foobar2000 for music playback. Even though iTunes is dog slow, I do like it’s default presentation for displaying your music library. I’ve somewhat replicated this using the SimPlaylist component for foobar2000.

Here’s a screenshot of my playlist view:

…and here are the groups that enable the view:

QTTabBar Enhances Windows Explorer

Just stumbled across QTTabBar for Windows XP/Vista. It adds tabs to Windows Explorer.

Obligatory screen shot:

 

Setup is a little non-obvious, after installation you have to logout and log back in then right-click in the toolbar section of an Explorer window to turn on the QTTabBar toolbars.

Requires .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed if you’re using Windows XP.
