# The Ultimate vimrc
|
|
|
|
Over the last 10 years, I have used and tweaked Vim. This configuration is the ultimate vimrc (or at least my version of it).
|
|
|
|
There are two versions:
|
|
|
|
* **The Basic**: If you want something small just copy [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim) into your ~/.vimrc and you will have a good basic setup
|
|
* **The Awesome**: Includes a ton of useful plugins, color schemes, and configurations
|
|
|
|
I would, of course, recommend using the awesome version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to install the Awesome version?
|
|
### Install for your own user only
|
|
The awesome version includes a lot of great plugins, configurations and color schemes that make Vim a lot better. To install it simply do following from your terminal:
|
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
|
|
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
|
|
|
|
### Install for multiple users
|
|
To install for multiple users, the repository needs to be cloned to a location accessible for all the intended users.
|
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git /opt/vim_runtime
|
|
sh /opt/vim_runtime/install_awesome_parameterized.sh /opt/vim_runtime user0 user1 user2
|
|
# to install for all users with home directories, note that root will not be included
|
|
sh /opt/vim_runtime/install_awesome_parameterized.sh /opt/vim_runtime --all
|
|
|
|
Naturally, `/opt/vim_runtime` can be any directory, as long as all the users specified have read access.
|
|
|
|
## Fonts
|
|
|
|
I recommend using [IBM Plex Mono font](https://github.com/IBM/plex) (it's an open-source and awesome font that can make your code look beautiful). The Awesome vimrc is already setup to try to use it.
|
|
|
|
Some other fonts that Awesome will try to use:
|
|
|
|
* [Hack](http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/)
|
|
* [Source Code Pro](https://adobe-fonts.github.io/source-code-pro/)
|
|
|
|
## How to install the Basic version?
|
|
|
|
The basic version is just one file and no plugins. Just copy [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim) and paste it into your vimrc.
|
|
|
|
The basic version is useful to install on remote servers where you don't need many plugins, and you don't do many edits.
|
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
|
|
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_basic_vimrc.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to install on Windows?
|
|
|
|
Use [gitforwindows](http://gitforwindows.org/) to checkout the repository and run the installation instructions above. No special instructions needed ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to install on Linux
|
|
|
|
If you have vim aliased as `vi` instead of `vim`, make sure to either alias it: `alias vi=vim`. Otherwise, `apt-get install vim`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to update to latest version?
|
|
|
|
Just do a git rebase!
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.vim_runtime
|
|
git reset --hard
|
|
git clean -d --force
|
|
git pull --rebase
|
|
python update_plugins.py # use python3 if python is unavailable
|
|

## How to include your own stuff?
|
|
|
|
After you have installed the setup, you can create **~/.vim_runtime/my_configs.vim** to fill in any configurations that are important for you. For instance, my **my_configs.vim** looks like this:
|
|
|
|
~/.vim_runtime (master)> cat my_configs.vim
|
|
map <leader>ct :cd ~/Desktop/Todoist/todoist<cr>
|
|
map <leader>cw :cd ~/Desktop/Wedoist/wedoist<cr>
|
|
|
|
You can also install your plugins, for instance, via pathogen you can install [vim-rails](https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails):
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.vim_runtime
|
|
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-rails.git my_plugins/vim-rails
|
|
|
|
You can also install plugins without any plugin manager (vim 8+ required):
|
|
|
|
* Add `packloadall` to your `.vimrc` file
|
|
* Create pack plugin directory:\
|
|
`mkdir -p ~/.vim_runtime/pack/plugins/start`
|
|
* Clone the plugin that you want in that directory, for example:\
|
|
`git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/maxmellon/vim-jsx-pretty ~/.vim_runtime/pack/plugins/start/vim-jsx-pretty`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Key Mappings
|
|
|
|
The [leader](http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/chapters/06.html#leader) is `,`, so whenever you see `<leader>` it means `,`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Normal mode mappings
|
|
|
|
Fast saving of a buffer (`<leader>w`):
|
|
|
|
nmap <leader>w :w!<cr>
|
|
|
|
Map `<Space>` to `/` (search) and `<Ctrl>+<Space>` to `?` (backwards search):
|
|
|
|
map <space> /
|
|
map <C-space> ?
|
|
|
|
Disable highlights when you press `<leader><cr>`:
|
|
|
|
map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>
|
|
|
|
Smart way to move between windows (`<ctrl>j` etc.):
|
|
|
|
map <C-j> <C-W>j
|
|
map <C-k> <C-W>k
|
|
map <C-h> <C-W>h
|
|
map <C-l> <C-W>l
|
|
|
|
Closing of the current buffer(s) (`<leader>bd` and (`<leader>ba`)):
|
|
|
|
" Close current buffer
|
|
map <leader>bd :Bclose<cr>
|
|
|
|
" Close all buffers
|
|
map <leader>ba :1,1000 bd!<cr>
|
|
|
|
Useful mappings for managing tabs:
|
|
|
|
map <leader>tn :tabnew<cr>
|
|
map <leader>to :tabonly<cr>
|
|
map <leader>tc :tabclose<cr>
|
|
map <leader>tm :tabmove
|
|
|
|
" Opens a new tab with the current buffer's path
|
|
" Super useful when editing files in the same directory
|
|
map <leader>te :tabedit <C-r>=escape(expand("%:p:h"), " ")<cr>/
|
|
|
|
Switch [CWD](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Set_working_directory_to_the_current_file) to the directory of the open buffer:
|
|
|
|
map <leader>cd :cd %:p:h<cr>:pwd<cr>
|
|
|
|
Open `ack.vim` for fast search:
|
|
|
|
map <leader>g :Ack
|
|
|
|
Quickly open a buffer for scripbble:
|
|
|
|
map <leader>q :e ~/buffer<cr>
|
|
|
|
Toggle paste mode on and off:
|
|
|
|
map <leader>pp :setlocal paste!<cr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Visual mode mappings
|
|
|
|
Visual mode pressing `*` or `#` searches for the current selection:
|
|
|
|
vnoremap <silent> * :call VisualSelection('f')<CR>
|
|
vnoremap <silent> # :call VisualSelection('b')<CR>
|
|
|
|
When you press gv you `Ack.vim` after the selected text:
|
|
|
|
vnoremap <silent> gv :call VisualSelection('gv', '')<CR>
|
|
|
|
When you press `<leader>r` you can search and replace the selected text:
|
|
|
|
vnoremap <silent> <leader>r :call VisualSelection('replace')<CR>
|
|
|
|
Surround the visual selection in parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
|
|
|
|
vnoremap $1 <esc>`>a)<esc>`<i(<esc>
|
|
vnoremap $2 <esc>`>a]<esc>`<i[<esc>
|
|
vnoremap $3 <esc>`>a}<esc>`<i{<esc>
|
|
vnoremap $$ <esc>`>a"<esc>`<i"<esc>
|
|
vnoremap $q <esc>`>a'<esc>`<i'<esc>
|
|
vnoremap $e <esc>`>a`<esc>`<i`<esc>
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Insert mode mappings
|
|
|
|
Quickly insert parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
|
|
|
|
inoremap $1 ()<esc>i
|
|
inoremap $2 []<esc>i
|
|
inoremap $3 {}<esc>i
|
|
inoremap $4 {<esc>o}<esc>O
|
|
inoremap $q ''<esc>i
|
|
inoremap $e ""<esc>i
|
|
inoremap $t <><esc>i
|
|
|
|
Insert the current date and time (useful for timestamps):
|
|
|
|
iab xdate <C-r>=strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S")<cr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Command line mappings
|
|
|
|
$q is super useful when browsing on the command line. It deletes everything until the last slash:
|
|
|
|
cno $q <C-\>eDeleteTillSlash()<cr>
|
|
|
|
Bash like keys for the command line:
|
|
|
|
cnoremap <C-A> <Home>
|
|
cnoremap <C-E> <End>
|
|
cnoremap <C-K> <C-U>
|
|
|
|
cnoremap <C-P> <Up>
|
|
cnoremap <C-N> <Down>
|
|
|
|
Write the file as sudo (works only on Unix). Super useful when you open a file and you don't have permissions to save your changes. [Vim tip](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Su-write):
|
|
|
|
:W
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Open [ctrlp.vim](https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim) plugin to quickly find a file or a buffer (`<leader>j` or `<ctrl>f`):

|
|
```
|
|
~/.vim_runtime/vimrcs/extended.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cope
|

Query `:help cope` if you are unsure what cope is. It's super useful!
|
|
|
|
When you search with `Ack.vim`, display your results in cope by doing:
|
|
`<leader>cc`
|
|
|
|
To go to the next search result do:
|
|
`<leader>n`
|
|
|
|
To go to the previous search results do:
|
|
`<leader>p`
|
|
|
|
Cope mappings:
