Not much learning involved in vim. for the simplest case, a bunch of c
source files in your current directory, you just do a ':!ctags *.c' . Then
positioning the cursor over a function name and doing a ^} takes you to the
definition in whatever file. ^t takes you back. the tags stack, so you can
chase through as far as you want.

Another good one is K, which by default will get the man page for the string
under the cursor. It can be configured to do info, or whatever. I'll
confess -- I'm getting senile and I can't always remember what goes first in
fgets and I'd rather take a quick look than guess. I've seen some nasty bugs
from guesses that weren't bad enough to trigger compiler errors.

Intellisense: I don't know; I turned it off pretty fast in DevStudio when i
found it more annoying than not. Perhaps I should give it another try.
