A Tutorial that will walk you though the ins and out of running XBMC fullscreen in your second monitor. It can also be used for many other programs and in either primary or secondary monitor using the techniques that are demonstrated in this post.
Vimtip #1: start gvim from terminal and still use terminal
This tip will allow you to start gvim from the terminal and still use it after Gvim has opened.
Step 1:
Add the following to your ~/.bashrc or mac equivalent
function gvim {
/usr/bin/gvim -f $* > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & disown
}
Step 2:
Type gvim in your terminal and it will not hog it until you close gvim i.e
john@John-Tosh-Lin 10:31 ~
$ gvim
[1] 10381
john@John-Tosh-Lin 10:31 ~
$
As a bonus, if you start gvim in the directory that you are working in then NERDTree’s root will be the directory you are in. That in itself saves a lot of time 🙂
Tada!
Enjoy your newly reclaimed terminal people 🙂
