How would you switch to the previous window using vim autocmd
:autocmd's execute ex-commands not normal mode commands. This means you can use :normal! or use :wincmd (method I prefer). Your new command: autocmd VimEnter * wincmd p Note: windcmd p is the same as <c-w>p/<c-w><c-p> in normal mode. For more help see: :h :wincmd :h :normal :h :au ...
Change vim-airline colorscheme via vim-sunset plugin
Ok, so I found a solution myself: the key is to check whether or not the airline-plugin is already loaded when trying to set the airline colorscheme. Now it looks something like this: function!

To be...
autocmd for running Eclim's :JavaImportOrganize
It would be useful to know what the exact error message is. On my machine, the error is: Error detected while processing BufWritePost Auto commands for "{*.java}": E488: Trailing characters: silent :JavaImportOrganize :syntax on I assume it's the same to you, but it would help a lot to paste it...
Run/Toggle command for certain filetypes only
That's just fine and how I would implemented it, too. As you only hook into the FileType event, the toggling is only triggered when you :edit a new file, not when you recall an existing buffer with another filetype. You could do that with BufWinEnter, but it may cause too...

Disable syntax highlighting for certain filenames
vim,syntax-highlighting,autocmd

'inc' | syntax enable | endif Here, I've used your example of *.inc extensions in the condition. If you...
