You could issue `zt` after opening the file, so something like: `vim +500 filename -c &#39;normal zt&#39;`.

As an alternative (because I ended up here searching for it), if you want to have the syntax `vim &lt;filename&gt;:&lt;linenumber&gt;`, eg `vim test.rb:45`, you can use [vim-fetch][1] with [Vundle][2]:

    Plugin &#39;kopischke/vim-fetch&#39;


  [1]: https://github.com/kopischke/vim-fetch
  [2]: https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim

This should do it:

    vim +&#39;500|norm! zt&#39; filename

Or you could just start the habit of using &lt;kbd&gt;z&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;t&lt;/kbd&gt; (top), &lt;kbd&gt;z&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;z&lt;/kbd&gt; (center), and &lt;kbd&gt;z&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;b&lt;/kbd&gt; (bottom); In my case, it is so automatic, I wouldn&#39;t really require the extra invocation argument

Can someone please give me a simple build.gradle example of how I can specify compile-time-only classes that are not included in the runtime deployment (war). 

Gradle seems to have gotten this the wrong way around since &#39;runtime&#39; inherits from &#39;compile&#39;. I can&#39;t imagine a situation where I would want classes at runtime that I wouldn&#39;t want at compile time. However, there are many circumstances where I need classes to generate code at compile time that I do not wish to deploy at runtime! 

I&#39;ve ploughed through the bloated gradle documentation but cannot find any clear instructions or examples. I suspect this might be achieved by defining a &#39;configuration&#39; and setting it as the classpath of the CompileJava plugin - but the documentation falls short on explaining how to achieve this. 

How do I define a compile-time *only* classpath in Gradle?

I know it is possible to have vim open a file at particular line number using this syntax:

    vim +500 filename

However, I would like it to open with the specified line at the top of the editor window, not in the middle.

Is Ghostscript the best option if you want to optimize a PDF file and reduce the file size?

I need to store alot of PDF files and therefore I need to optimize and reduce the file size as much as possible

Does anyone have any experience with Ghostscript and/or other?

In a crontab file, should commands be specified with a trailing &quot;&amp;&quot;, or will the command run in the background anyway?

I have:

    */20 * * * * /home/me/monitor/check.sh /home/me/monitor/check.properties  &gt;&gt; /home/me/monitor/check.log 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;

I&#39;ve seen contradictory answers to this question in various places. Some say no need to put an &quot;&amp;&quot;, others that without the ampersand cron waits for output from the command, even though all output is redirected.

Should linux cron jobs be specified with an &quot;&amp;&quot; to indicate to run in background?

I have the following simple script where I am running a loop and want to maintain a `COUNTER`. I am unable to figure out why the counter is not updating. Is it due to subshell thats getting created? How can I potentially fix this?

    WFY_PATH=/var/log/nginx
    WFY_FILE=error.log
    COUNTER=0

    (
    while read WFY_URL
    do
        echo $WFY_URL #Some more action
        COUNTER=$((COUNTER+1))
    done
    )

I access a sever over ssh on which I run vim for editing files. When I try to yank text from vim into an editor locally on my mac (lion) either with y OR &quot;+y it does not work. I end up with the text I copied last locally. It does work if I just use p within vim alright.

Are there any commands in Vim/Vi to move within a selected search segment?  

For instance, if I search for a word, are there any commands to motion the cursor to the end of the highlighted segment?  Say I have a word, &quot;FishTaco&quot; and I want to search for all instances of &quot;Fish&quot; and insert something after it.  I know I could do a global replace, but what if I want to only make the change in a couple non-sequential instances?

I could see where it would be convenient to be able to motion the cursor to the end of the current highlighted segment to perform an action.

 

Is there a command in Vim/Vi to move the cursor to the end of a search highlight?

I&#39;m using `:set showmatch` to highlight the matching bracket or brace when the cursor is over one. 

I&#39;d like to change the highlight-color so that it&#39;s radically different from the cursor color, because I&#39;ve got the situation shown in the screenshots. 

When the cursor is over the second brace:  
![Cursor over the second brace][1]

and when the cursor is to the immediate-right of the brace:  
![Cursor to the right][2]

This uses my terminal color scheme, which is taken from [Solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized). Unfortunately, it&#39;s a bit of a pain to see which highlight is the brace matching and which is the cursor, when the braces are close together. 

Is there a `vim` setting I can use to change the color of that to, say, the `bold magenta` ANSI? I&#39;m not particularly interested in remapping my ANSI colors within the terminal or shell - I&#39;d like a `vim`-specific option, if it exists.

Example: copy in one tmux pane (via vim), then switch to another pane (running another vim instance) and paste using the vim paste command. I know this can be done via tmux (using prefix+]) but it would be really handy if I can copy and paste using vim bindings since i&#39;m just switching between different panes running vim.


Any ideas?
