          It's a latin term meaning "the same". In the quoted context, it just means the listed command does the same thing as the previously listed command, i.e. remove item 3:



          :let i = remove(list, 3) " remove item 3 
          :unlet list[3] " idem

            idem is to say that that line of code does the same as the line above.
