+Bash is tricky, dont let your editor get in your way. Here's a couple of neat
+addtions you could make to your `vimrc` for a better shell programming
+experience.
+
+**Man pages inside vim**. Source this script to get started:  
+
+```
+runtime ftplugin/man.vim
+```  
+Now, you can open manpages inside vim with `:Man`! It adds nicer syntax highlighting
+and the ability to jump around with `Ctrl-]` and `Ctrl-T`.
+
+By default, the manpage is opened in a horizontal split, I prefer using a new tab:
+
+```
+let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'tab'
+```
+
+
+**Scratchpad to test your commands**. I often test my `sed` substitutions, here is
+a sample from the script used to generate this site:  
+
+```
+# a substitution to convert snake_case to Title Case With Spaces
+echo "$1" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  -e "s/_(.)/ \u\1/g" -e "s/^(.)/\u\1/g"
+```  
+Instead of dropping into a new shell, just test it out directly from vim!
+
+ - Yank the link into a register:
+
+ ```
+yy
+ ```
+
+ - Paste it into the command-line window:
+
+ ```
+q:p
+ ```
+
+ - Make edits as required:
+
+ ```
+syntax off            # previously run commands
+edit index.html       # in a buffer!
+w | so %
+echo "new_post.md" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  -e "s/_(.)/ \u\1/g" -e "s/^(.)/\u\1/g"
+ ```
+
+ - Hit enter with the cursor on the line containing your command!
+
+ ```
+$ vim
+New Post         # output
+Press ENTER or type command to continue
+ ```
