dencold / dotfiles Goto Github PK

Tim Pope has yet another fantastic vim package called surround. Add it to the vim dotfiles so that it is available for all installations on my machines.

Make sure to study the README to get used to the syntax/usage:
https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround/blob/master/README.markdown

Now that we have a dedicated dotfile just for aliases, let's add some helpful commands for services I use a bit:

• Command line weather: wttr.in
• uuid generation: uuidgenerator.net
• ipinfo: ipinfo.io

We should create individual aliases for those commands so that they are available from command line.

Right now when we yank lines in vim, it does not store in the system clipboard (at least on linux, double-check in os x).

I remember reading somewhere that you can enable vim to automatically add to the system keyboard, either through a special buffer or some parameter in .vimrc.

Read up on the options here and get this set so that when we copy something in vim, it's available system-wide.

Hi, The install script seems to have dissapeared from this repo. Could you put it back?

All temp files (mostly the autosaves from vim) are getting dumped into $HOME/tmp. Would like to restructure this and have it be more organized. Vim should probably have its own hidden directory that is separate from the general tmp folder. Look to find out what other system processes are using the temp folder and see if we need to split them off into other subdirs as well.

Right new we have config like the following in our vimrc files:

" save session
nnoremap <leader>s :mksession<CR>
" }}}
" Spacing {{{
set tabstop=4     " set 4 spaces per tab
set softtabstop=4 " set 4 visual spaces per tab
set expandtab     " tabs become spaces
"filetype indent on " sets per-filetype spacing options
" }}}
" UI options {{{
set number        " gives us line numbers on side
set showcmd       " shows us the last command at bottom
set cursorline    " highlights the current line
set wildmenu      " command menu autocomplete
set lazyredraw    " laissez-faire redraw
set showmatch     " match brackets/parens/etc.
set laststatus=2  " required for airplane plugin
"}}}

I used to think this kind of folding would be helpful...not anymore. Remove it and replace it with simple comments for sectional highlights.
