Refactoring in Vim

Question

Of course the fact that you can refactor on IDEs is priceless for many, I hardly ever do it when I am coding but I may try to do it when editing some one else\'s source. How do

Answer 1

I would consider using the spacemacs version of emacs. It is uses the same modes and most keystrokes as Vim but has many more add-on because of it's lisp nature. If you want to program in C++ you just add the c++ layer and most of the IDE is just set up for you already. For other interpreted languages like python or bash you do not need to leave spacemacs to use them. They even have a way to run blocks of code directly within your text which works fantastic for literate programming or reproducible programming where the code and the data are in the same file. Both done as text.

Spacemacs is much more heavy handed in it's initial load but the additional stuff you can do with it is worth the few seconds of startup cost. One layer org-mode is worth checking it out. It is the best outliner, programmer, day timer / todo list I have ever used.
