or in ~/.vimrc (which I prefer since I always like line numbers, except if |

I'm copy and pasting...then it's annoying). There is also a macro I made |
| 22 |
(stole from somewhere and modified) to enter the date on \d entered in both |
| 23 |
command mode and entry mode, which I find handy for journals or timestamp |
| 24 |
comments in code. You can, of course, rearrange and edit how the time |
| 25 |
appears if you dislike my style. |

Is there any way to access the vim buffers from other than vi? Using |
| 33 |
Konsole, if I want to copy something from vim I have to highlight with the |
| 34 |
mouse and right click, which is annoying. I really just want a better way |
| 35 |
to copy from Konsole that doesn't involve right click. At least |
| 36 |
shift+insert works for pasting from elsewhere... |
