Use vim to edit ANY text on Linux

I come from the Mac world, where I use http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor to edit text from anywhere in Vim.

Is there anything like that on Linux ? I'm already using "It's All Text" in Firefox, but I'm looking for something broader.

Also, I've looked at this thread, but it's only solutions for software X, and software Y. Any idea ?

How do I make all file types open in the internal editor in eclipse?

When using the open file dialog on Eclipse, many file types open in the internal editor as expected (.java, .txt). However, others open in an external editor. For example on my system attempting to open .sh file causes it to open it in emacs, and .py files open in bluefish.

How do I tell eclipse to open all files in the internal editor. I don't want to make an association for each type explicitly; I just want everything to open in the internal editor by default.

Remove Master Boot Code but leave Partition Table?

For testing purposes, I need to fidget with the MBR on a Windows7 test host: I'd like to remove the Master Boot Code but leave the Partition Table within.

Does the following Linux command do this, or does it wipe out the entire MBR, including the Partition Table?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

Thank you.

How can I indent multiple lines, and indent "backwards", in gvim?

I'm just learning vim (via gvim, I used to be a Notepad++ user) and haven't yet found how to do 2 things:

1. How can I indent a set of rows x spaces/tabs right? In Notepad++, for example, I just highlight the rows I need and press 'Tab' key.
2. Also, is there a way to move backwards equivalent to "Shift+Tab" in Notepad++?

Thanks

OpenOfficeOrg Calc: enter data into all selected cells?

I want to enter the same data (e.g. "superuser") into multiple cells in OpenOffice.Org Calc (version 3.3.0). In order to do so, I select all the cells I want the data to be entered in. However, only the cell selected last (i.e. when releasing the LMB for group selection) gets the value entered subsequently.

Writing usually involves long paragraphs with no line breaks, and currently those are displayed in one row, which is extremely inconvenient.
