This is a fork of The Ultimate vimrc.
git clone [email protected]:hamxiaoz/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
cd ~/.vim_runtime
git submodule update --init
Simply just do a git rebase!
cd ~/.vim_runtime
git pull --rebase
I recommend reading the docs of these plugins to understand them better. Each of them provide a much better Vim experience!
- pathogen.vim: Manages the runtime path of the plugins
- YankRing: Maintains a history of previous yanks, changes and deletes
- snipMate.vim: snipMate.vim aims to be a concise vim script that implements some of TextMate's snippets features in Vim
- bufexplorer.zip: Buffer Explorer / Browser. This plugin can be opened with
<leader+o>
- NERD Tree: A tree explorer plugin for vim
- ack.vim: Vim plugin for the Perl module / CLI script 'ack'
- vim-powerline: The ultimate vim statusline utility
- ctrlp.vim: Fuzzy file, buffer, mru and tag finder. In my config it's mapped to
<Ctrl+F>
, because<Ctrl+P>
is used by YankRing - mru.vim: Plugin to manage Most Recently Used (MRU) files. Includes my own fork which adds syntax highlighting to MRU. This plugin can be opened with
<leader+f>
- open_file_under_cursor.vim: Open file under cursor when pressing
gf
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 own plugins, for instance, via pathogen we can install vim-rails:
cd ~/.vim_runtime
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-rails.git sources_plugins/vim-rails
Now you have vim-rails installed ;-)
Open bufexplorer and see and manage the current buffers:
map <leader>o :BufExplorer<cr>
Open MRU.vim and see the recently open files:
map <leader>f :MRU<CR>
Open ctrlp.vim plugin:
let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-f>'
Open PeepOpen plugin:
map <leader>j :PeepOpen<cr>
Managing the NERD Tree plugin:
map <leader>nn :NERDTreeToggle<cr>
map <leader>nb :NERDTreeFromBookmark
map <leader>nf :NERDTreeFind<cr>
Fast saving of a buffer:
nmap <leader>w :w!<cr>
Treat long lines as break lines (useful when moving around in them):
map j gj
map k gk
Map <Space>
to /
(search) and <Ctrl>+<Space>
to ?
(backwards search):
map <space> /
map <c-space> ?
map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>
Disable highlight when <leader><cr>
is pressed:
map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>
Smart way to move between windows:
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 current buffer(s):
" 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>=expand("%:p:h")<cr>/
Switch CWD to the directory of the open buffer:
map <leader>cd :cd %:p:h<cr>:pwd<cr>
Open vimgrep and put the cursor in the right position:
map <leader>g :vimgrep // **/*.<left><left><left><left><left><left><left>
Vimgreps in the current file:
map <leader><space> :vimgrep // <C-R>%<C-A><right><right><right><right><right><right><right><right><right>
Remove the Windows ^M - when the encodings gets messed up:
noremap <leader>m mmHmt:%s/<C-V><cr>//ge<cr>'tzt'm
Quickly open a buffer for scripbble:
map <leader>q :e ~/buffer<cr>
Toggle paste mode on and off:
map <leader>pp :setlocal paste!<cr>
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>
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 vimgrep 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>
$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>
Pressing <leader>ss
will toggle and untoggle spell checking
map <leader>ss :setlocal spell!<cr>
Shortcuts using <leader>
instead of special chars
map <leader>sn ]s
map <leader>sp [s
map <leader>sa zg
map <leader>s? z=
Do :help cope if you are unsure what cope is. It's super useful!
When you search with vimgrep, 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
Vimscript mappings:
map <leader>cc :botright cope<cr>
map <leader>co ggVGy:tabnew<cr>:set syntax=qf<cr>pgg
map <leader>n :cn<cr>
map <leader>p :cp<cr>
