To search for the next occurence of the text ‘maybe’ from the current cursor position, type:

/maybe


Search backward from the current position by using ? instead of / in the command.

Once you have searched for something, you can find the next occurrence by pressing nor the previous occurrence with N.

Searching in vi/vim is enhanced with regular expressions. For example, to find the next occurence of the text ‘Total’ that occurs at the beginning of a line, use:

/^Total

Thanks to this source.

Open up terminal.

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2

You will need to restart applications (including things like Finder) in order to see the affect.

Revert back to default setting through:

defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing

Having your own local version of Ruby on Rails documentation has its benefits, including offline use, merged documentation for Ruby and Rails, and having docs for the exact versions that your current project uses.

Creating them is pretty simple thanks to the sdoc gem.

Create a docs directory and install sdoc

Create a home for your Ruby and Rails docs:

mkdir railsdoc
cd railsdoc

sdoc provides all the magic to generate searchable ruby docs in HTML.  So the first thing to do is to install the sdoc gem.  I use RVM, so I created its own gemspec with a .rvmrc file:

rvm use --create ruby-1.9.2-p290@railsdoc

Either way you’ll need to install sdoc.

sudo gem install sdoc

Step 1 – Download sources

git clone https://github.com/rails/rails.git
git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git

Step 2a – Generate ruby docs

cd ruby

Now here you have to decide what version of ruby you want to document.  Using git, checkout the version / tag you want.  (In the following example, I switching to ruby version 1.9.2-p290)  Then have sdoc create the docs.

git co v1_9_2_290
sdoc -o doc/ruby ruby
cd ..

Step 2b – Generate rails docs

Repeat for the rails doc.  Here I’m documenting rails version 3.2.0.

cd rails
git co v3.2.0
sdoc --fmt=sdoc -g -o doc/rails -A rails
cd ..

Step 3 – Merge Rails Docs

Now that we’ve generated our ruby docs and rails docs, now its time to merge them into on directory.  sdoc provides a command to merge them.

I would change the title of the command below to reflect what versions of ruby and rails you have.

sdoc-merge --title "Ruby 1.9.2-p290 and Rails 3.2.0" --op merged --names "Ruby,Rails" doc/ruby doc/rails

Done

That’s it folks.

Point your browser to “merged/index.html” and rejoice in your merged, local, and searchable Ruby on Rails docs!

If you’re osx you can run the following to open it up:

open merged/index.html

Updating

With your railsdoc directory, you can easily update the docs by:

• Updating the git repos (git fetch origin)
• Checking out the new version you want to document (git co vXYZ)
• Repeat Steps 2a, 2b and 3

I keep forgetting how to change the time in the android emulator.
