Great VIM Tip: Set paste
• {"login"=>"fuzzyblog", "email"=>"eric@appdata.com", "display_name"=>"fuzzyblog", "first_name"=>"Scott", "last_name"=>"Johnson"}
If you find that VIM's auto indenting makes pasting in text, well, suck then enter this:
:set paste
and
:set nopaste
to reverse it.

And, yes, I rated it as life changing. This one tip will make a huge difference in my use of VIM. I used to sometimes exit VIM, edit the file with nano -w and then re-enter VIM. This completely eliminates that so its huge.
