    '[&](http:// twitter.com/\1)' ! let oldLine = getline('.') let newLine = substitute(oldLine, searchRegex, searchReplace, ‘g') ! call setline('.', newLine) endfunction

  18. You might not want to write plugins

  19. But any arbitrary VimScript can go inside a .vimrc…

  20. Something I do all the time is want to execute

    a file

    me
