A little guide for those of you that want to try a real text editor ;) Most of this should work on any OS if Vim is compiled with +python settings (vim --version | grep python). It also needs Exuberant Ctags, GNU make and some lines might need a minor edit as I have a habit of saving intermidiate compile files in /tmp.
Never had any use for any other text editor or IDE for my projects, but to be fair, if you just downloaded Vim and started it up you will get dissapointed as most of Vim;s power is the plugin system. I haven't used FreeBasic for more then three weeks now, and my first impression of it was a bit shaded by the fact that there aren't any good editors to use if you're running Linux and Vim is quite biased towards C/C++. Now, there isn't that great difference between C and FB, so I took some time to set up Vim to achieve the functionality I'm useed to when coding C or Python, and this is what I have so far.
Plugins:
NERDTree
A filemanager Vim addon, I use it as a project manager
git://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git
SuperTab
Makes your Tab enter Supermode! Use it for code completion, completing snippets and much more
git://github.com/ervandew/supertab.git
Fat-finger
Do yuo havw the same problm as I have to tyoe fast AND spell corectly? Fat fingers help you with that
git://github.com/vim-scripts/fat-finger.git
snipMate
Insert and edit snippets, really really useful and speeds up your coding
git://github.com/msanders/snipmate.vim.git
SingleCompile
Compile your file with a simple keypress
git://github.com/vim-scripts/SingleCompile.git
A whole lot of colorschemes
Really not needed, most of them are crap except from Mustang, Colorful256 and a few others
git://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git
Auto-Pairs
Inserts paired quotationmarks, square-brackets, apostrophes and so on. Highly configurable
git://github.com/vim-scripts/Auto-Pairs.git
ErrorMarker
Highlights the compile errors in the editor
git://github.com/vim-scripts/errormarker.vim.git
Python plugins
This is here because I just did a cut'n'paste from my vimscript repo list, but if you ever do Python scripting these are THE addons to have - atleast IMHO
git://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim.git
git://github.com/davidhalter/jedi.git
git://github.com/gotcha/vimpdb.git
Fugitive
Makes it easy to use Github without ever leaving Vim
git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git
Minibufexpl
Keeps like a tab list of buffers in each tab.. If you get it? Nice to have for easy file management
git://github.com/vim-scripts/minibufexpl.vim.git
Taglist
Navigating source made easy
git://github.com/vim-scripts/taglist.vim.git
Vim.tags
Rebuilds tags on file save, or if you're inactive for a few minutes
git://github.com/szw/vim-tags.git
Pathogen
One way to manage your plugins and keep the plugin folder nice and tidy
git://github.com/vim-scripts/pathogen.vim.git
Vundle
Even easier way to manage plugins
git://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git

Re: Setting up Vim for FreeBasic
Linux
For linux, you have two options:
Vimogen
I assume that you already have git, ctags and gvim installed, if you're running a ubuntu linux distro (kubuntu/xubuntu/mint etc) it's easy to install them:
$> sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags git vim
First of all, open up a terminal and navigate to your home folder (cd ~) and then issue the following commands:
$>mkdir -p .vim/bundle
$>mkdir -p .vim/autoload
$>git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen.git ~/.vim/autoload
$ >git clone git://github.com/vim-scripts/vimogen.git ~/vimogen
$>vim .vimogen_repos
Now edit the .vimogen_repos file to this:
git://github.com/vim-scripts/taglist.vim.git
git://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git
git://github.com/ervandew/supertab.git
git://github.com/vim-scripts/fat-finger.git
git://github.com/msanders/snipmate.vim.git
git://github.com/vim-scripts/SingleCompile.git
git://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git
git://github.com/vim-scripts/Auto-Pairs.git
git://github.com/vim-scripts/errormarker.vim.git
git://github.com/vim-scripts/minibufexpl.vim.git
git://github.com/szw/vim-tags.git
save it (:w), exit vim (:q) and cd to ~/vimogen
$> chmod +x vimogen.sh
$> ./vimogen.sh
Now just press '1', lean back and enjoy the show..
[Vundle]
Again, I assume you have git, ctags and gvim installed, if not install them using sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags git vim (or consult your man pages for your package manager). This is imho a better way to install plugins and it's easier to manage, plus that you don't have to execute scripts outside vim.
$>cd ~
$>mkdir -p .vim/bundle/vundle
$>git clone git://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
That's it, the rest is taken care of by your .vimrc file which we will start to edit shortly
Another way is to manually download each repo, extract it to ~/.vim/bundle/plugin-name/, but that's just tedious and time consuming, plus the fact that it's super easy to keep your plugins updated.
Now cd back to your home folder, it's time to edit your vim configuration file!

Re: Setting up Vim for FreeBasic
Windows
(note: I don't have much experience with Vim and Windows, but I'll do my best. Please report errors if you see them)
For Windows things are a little more complicated, as you need to install git, ctags, mingw tools and possibly python aside from the obvious gvim installation. You also need to make sure that all those tools are in your $PATH. To make it easy, you could just download any linux distro and install it alon your windows installation :)
If that's not an option, then continue reading as a blind man will try to walk you through the steps of making this work with Windows7
First, download the essentials:
vim: http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc
ctags; http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctags/f ... or=surfnet
git and curl: https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downl ... ficial+git (see https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/wiki/V ... or-Windows for installation guide)
mingw: http://www.mingw.org/
Now you need to make sure that your the mingw tools along with ctags and fbc are on your path, see http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm#0 for more detals on how to set it. To explain it easily you need to edit the Path variable to point to the folder of the mingw executables, the ctags executable and the FB compiler.
When you've completed the above steps, open the commandprompt and make sure that you are in your home folder (/user/whatsyourname/).
$> cd /user/whatsyourname
$> git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git .vim/bundle/vundle
$> gvim _vimrc
Now the worst part is done, see post 5 for how to edit your _vimrc configuration file

You've gotten this far! Kudos! Now let's open vim/gvim and edit your configuration file
$>cd ~
$>vim .vimrc
OR
$>gvim .vimrc
When finished editing
:w
:so %
The 'so %' is short for 'source' and '%' is the name of the current file - vim loads the file and 'executes' it. note that some changes might not occur before you restart vim.

Snippets
SnipMate is a really powerful tool, and when searching for documentation for writing these posts I found an even better plugin. More on that later. But it isn't as useful if you don't supply some snippets for it to do it's magic on, so here it is: freebasic.snippet
Save the file as .vim/bundle/snipmate/snippets/freebasic.snippets
Indentation
Vim's built-in indentation offers much to ask for, I edited the VB one to suit my needs
Save it as "freebasic.vim" in .vim/indent

Re: Setting up Vim for FreeBasic
Currently working on a FreeBasic project manager plugin for Vim that will have the following features:
* Set main module with a simple keypress
* Add or remove sourcefiles/targets from the build in an easy way, and provide a tree-view of the project
* Add sub projects or other dependencies, in short all that has a makefile can be made a sub project
* Automatically (and recursivly) build makefile/s for the project, walking the source tree and resolving dependecies for each sourcefile in the folder and setting up one build target per file.
* Easily manage debug and release build configurations.
Still in it's early days, and right now it's all but user friendly, buggy and not mature enough for public use.

Re: Setting up Vim for FreeBasic
Dear Rickmeister,
thanks for your effort and thanks for sharing you work.
Do you know that you'll get all of these features out-of-the-box by using Geany (and some important additional features as well -- not buggy and mature enough for public use).
I hardly can imagine why anybody should use a text-only editor in our days. One have to study the documentation just to exit this program.

I can hardly see why I would use Geany over Vim. We've been close for 20 years, hard to part with it.
I use it to read and write emails, clone git repos, blogging, twitter, and ofcourse when I'm programming in C, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, Groovy - and just recently for FreeBasic - infact whenever I do something that involves text editing. And I belive that the usebase of Vim is a bit larger then Geany's...
Re: Setting up Vim for FreeBasic
A very long time after the 1st post in this thread, but anyway...
Since I didn't know SingleCompile, it took me a while to find out while SCCompileRun command didn't actually run anything after the compilation.
Solution is in the compiler template in .vimrc :
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.bas,*.bi call SingleCompile#SetCompilerTemplate('freebasic','fbc','FreeBasic','fbc','-w all','./%:r')
that's what you should have, for linux at least.
With this the f10 key indeed runs the program !
(it's nice to be able to use vim as a gui to get to know freebasic since the guys who created fbide is windows only... !
With this, I confirm, it's very usable, thanks particularly for the finding about indentation !)
