Vim is a really amazing text editor (though I’d like to learn Emacs too soon… :-)) and it can be easily expanded to be even more useful.

Vis is a vim plugin, and as such, it has to be installed before use, here is how to do this (asuming you have vim 7.0+):
echo 'read some about the plugin at: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1195' vim /home/script/location/vis.vba :source %
With this done you can doo stuff like in this video i did:
