+====== Useful VI Tricks ======
+Put this in your .vimrc:
+  map <F5> :s.^//.. <CR> :noh <CR>
+  map <F6> :s.^.//. <CR> :noh <CR>
+Now you use a visual line select (''shift-V'') to select what you want to comment,
+smack ''F5'' and it's done. ''F6'' uncomments.
+As a bonus, use these to change indents. Change indent to your preference for
+indenting. I use 4 spaces. Use ''\t'' if you want a tab. Combined with ''shift-V'', you
+can move whole blocks left and right easily.
+  map <F7> :s/^indent// <CR> :noh <CR> gv
+  map <F8> :s/^/indent/ <CR> :noh <CR> gv
