Good point - I see the Vim docs consistently say "color scheme".
I think you'll like 178 below. I'm also inserting a space in
'colorscheme' in 358 which is the only other title (in those we
are changing, and in those we are keeping) to use no space.
 178 Create a color scheme based on another
 358 Set a random color scheme at startup

OK 106 Insert mail signatures from a rotating file

OK 113 Integrate Vim with a dictionary

OK 178 Create a color scheme based on another

OK 291 Auto complete variable names or words

I know very little about Java. Please reply with any
corrections or improvements to the following proposal
re the Java tips.

Current tips:
3 Compile Java files quickly
120 Compile Java with Sun JDK javac
849 Shortcuts to compile/run default file and alternate file in Java
1107 J2ME development

It seems the correct capitalisation is: Java, javac, Jikes.

I have copied the content of tip 849 to tip 120 and flagged
849 as merged (so it will be deleted in due course).
Therefore we will not rename 849.

Here is what I propose for the Java titles:
OK 3 Compile Java with Jikes
OK 120 Compile Java with Sun JDK javac
OK 1107 J2ME development

My guess is that current Vim procedures make a lot of tip 3
rather redundant. I see that a comment mentions using javac.
Perhaps 3 and 120 could be merged, but let's leave that for now.

Please compare 849 with what I put in 120. You will notice
that I changed the mappings from "^M" to "<CR>", and
"^[[" to "<Esc>".

My guess is that "^[[" was a typo?? It literally means <Esc>[
but I think no trailing [ is wanted. Also, the first mapping
seemed to be missing "<CR>" at end of line, so I added it.

I have updated the list at

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/User:JohnBeckett/Titles_to_be_changed

Looks like we'd better keep working at this for a while yet.
So let me know what else you find.

John
