Probably the most useful thing I’ve
done as a PHP developer is to add
mappings to run the current file
through (a) the PHP interpreter (using
Ctrl-M),and (b) the PHP interpreter’s
linter (using Ctrl-L).

Vim Productivity Tips for PHP Developers

例：

:autocmd FileType PHP noremap <C-M> :w!<CR>:!/usr/bin/PHP %<CR>

或者(这不检查文件类型要小心)

:map <C-M> :w!<CR>:!/usr/bin/PHP %<CR>

Vim also allows you to execute a
command directly from the editor,
without needing to drop to a shell,by
using bang (!) followed by the command
to be run. For instance,if you’re
editing a file in Vim and want to find
out how many words are in the file,
run

:! wc %
