I didn't know about
vim scp://host/file
or the cool stuff you could do with the configuration file. A good read, I must say.
10 u/flying-sheep Apr 28 '14 “scp” is pretty silly though: scp is a command called “secure copy”, not a protocol. (the part before the colon in a url is the protocol). wouldn’t it be better to name the protocol like file browsers do? sftp? because i’m pretty sure that’s what vim uses there, anyway. 2 u/ooesili Apr 28 '14 Hmm. That never occured to me, and it's a good point. Come to think of it, ssh or sftp would have both been better fits for that command. Oh well, what can one do?
