A pair of stupid vim tricks
The command-line window that comes with vim 6 (:help cmdwin) just
annoys me. It seems to always open when I type :q<CR> in a
hurry. Today I finally decided to disable it, and thus, not finding an easier
way, I added this simple mapping in my .vimrc : "nmap q: :q".
I've also discovered that the CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands understand a count
argument. So, if you want to add 128 to the number next to the cursor, just
enter 128<C-A>. Works also for hexadecimal and octal numbers

Re: Pod Preview (Score:1)
I haven't tried it however. I use emacs which has a "perl->Perl docs->View manpage of POD in this file" option in cperl-mode.
Although usually I just pipe the file through pod2html and view it in a browser. :-)
