Not only that, but when I mistype something in vim, it won't even
compile. Talk about primitive. I assume that Notepad has anti-typo magic,
right?

Eclipse meanwhile lets you click an identifier in outline
view to go to its declaration, and then click marks by the scrollbars
to go to each other use, even (opening/switching windows
appropriately) in other source files in your project. And it can find
all the files in your project that use it, for you to open just the
ones you need to.

I suppose that I'm imagining things when I do the same in vim.

Probably. Or if such functionality actually exists, it's
not immediately apparent to the novice, so it doesn't count.
Or that's my best guess at the counterargument Twisted/etc. will
offer, should he be able to take time away from, um, defending
himself in that other thread.

But as one vim user to another: This sounds like a plug-in or
other option that I don't know about yet, and might like to.
I've written myself a little shell script that makes it easy to
start up vim on only the files that contain specified text, and
I find that useful, but it sounds like there might be something
even more convenient -- ?
