Basic editing

Setup

I use a slightly modified version of the spf13 distribution.

              
sudo apt-get -y install vim vim-gnome exuberant-ctags
cp ~/projects/Ubuntu-Installer/.ctags ~/
curl http://j.mp/spf13-vim3 -L -o - | sh
cp ~/projects/Ubuntu-Installer/.vimrc.local ~/
cp ~/projects/Ubuntu-Installer/.vimrc.before.local ~/

Source: Ubuntu installer script.

Directory browsing (NERDTree plugin)

Searching (grep + CtrlP + tags)

Navigating through code (Tagbar plugin)

Window management (tabs and buffers)

Debugging a request(Vdebug plugin)

Debugging a script(Vdebug plugin + Drush)
