+Shell Sessions
+-------------------
+(discovered via
+http://www.ktaylor.name/2009/11/vim-screen-lisp-programming-environment.html)
+
+The emacs embeded interpreter mode is very nice for interactively programming
+with languages like scheme and python. A similar effect can be achieved with
+the `ScreenShell plugin
+<http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2711>`_ and the following
+bindings:
+
+ vmap <C-c><C-c> :ScreenSend<CR>
+ nmap <C-c><C-c> vip<C-c><C-c>
+ nmap <C-x><C-e> :ScreenSend<CR>
+
+`Slimv <http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2531>`_ is a more
+elaborate alternative (SLIME for vim).

+Multi-Tab Setup
+--------------------
+TODO: document my current multi-window configuration, how to re-scale, etc.
+
+``Ctrl-W =`` equalizes window sizes (``Ctrl-W`` is the vierport meta sequence).
