Instead of Grep for multifile search you should be using ack, it is like grep but designed for source files. http://betterthangrep.com/

@John:

You can remap things in Vim (as yan suggested). For example, one partial “solution”(?) to your saving issue that I just tried out is the following:

:imap :w!a

Then, in insert mode at least, a quick control-I will save.

If you’re using gvim, you should be able to replace C-I with C-S, which will give you exactly what you wanted (in insert mode). The only reason you can’t use control-S on a Unix terminal is because control-S by default maps to “stop”, which freezes terminal input (this can probably be disabled, but I know not how).

Try :help map for more information. And there is almost certainly a better solution than the above, something that also works in command mode. The above was just a quick hack. :)
