New plugins for my vim

Dear Diary,

today, I discovered two new features of my vim editor that changed my life ;-) The first one, downloaded from vim tips, is called echofunc.vim. It prints a function interface (i.e. its definition header with all its parameters and their order) on the fly when you type the function name.

The second one is cscope_maps.vim from http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_vim_tutorial.html. It works with cscope – a great tool for searching source code. It is able to find functions called by the function, find functions calling the function etc. I just needed to recompile vim7 with ‘–enable-cscope’ and voila!
