bling.vim

A highly tuned vim distribution that will blow your socks off!

introduction

this is my personal vim distribution that i have tweaked over time and evolved from a simple vanilla vimrc configuration to a full-blown distribution that it is today.

installation

clone this repository into your ~/.vim directory
git submodule init && git submodule update
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup
echo "source ~/.vim/vimrc" > ~/.vimrc
startup vim and neobundle will detect and ask you install any missing plugins. you can also manually initiate this with :NeoBundleInstall
done!

customization

since the distribution is just one file, customization is straightforward. simply add settings before or after sourcing the distribution to customize. for example:

let g:dotvim_settings = {}
let g:dotvim_settings.default_indent = 3
let g:dotvim_settings.max_column = 80

" this will overwrite the plugin_groups defined in the distribution
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups = ['core','web']

" alternatively, you can specify excludes
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups_exclude = ['ruby','python']

source ~/.vim/vimrc

" anything defined here simply overwrites
set wildignore+=\*/node_modules/\*
colorscheme my_awesome_colorscheme

the g:dotvim_settings is a dictionary that contains overrides for all possible settings. refer to the top of the vimrc file directly to determine what options are available.

autocomplete

this distribution will pick one of three combinations, in the following priority:

neocomplete + neosnippet if you have lua enabled and a new enough version of vim
youcompleteme + ultisnips if you have python enabled and a new enough version of vim
neocomplcache + neosnippet if you only have vimscript available

this can be overridden with g:dotvim_settings.autocomplete_method

standard modifications

if you have either ack or ag installed, they will be used for grepprg
all temporary files are stored in ~/.vim/.cache, such as backup files and persistent undo

mappings

insert mode

<C-h> move the cursor left
<C-l> move the cursor right

normal mode

<leader>fef format entire file
<leader>f$ strip current line of trailing white space
window shortcuts
<leader>v vertical split
<leader>s horizontal split
<leader>vsa vertically split all buffers
<C-h> <C-j> <C-k> <C-l> move to window in the direction of hkjl
window killer
Q remapped to close windows and delete the buffer (if it is the last buffer window)
searching
- <leader>fw find the word under cursor into the quickfix list
- <leader>ff find the last search into the quickfix list
- / replaced with /\v for sane regex searching
- <cr> toggles hlsearch
<Down> <Up> maps to :bprev and :bnext respectively
<Left> <Right> maps to :tabprev and :tabnext respectively
gp remapped to visually reselect the last paste
gb for quick going to buffer
<leader>l toggles list and nolist
profiling shortcuts
- <leader>DD starts profiling all functions and files into a file profile.log
- <leader>DP pauses profiling
- <leader>DC continues profiling
- <leader>DQ finishes profiling and exits vim

visual mode

<leader>s sort selection
> and < automatically reselects the visual selection

plugins

unite.vim

this is an extremely powerful plugin that lets you build up lists from arbitrary sources
mappings
<space><space> go to anything (files, buffers, MRU, bookmarks)
<space>y select from previous yanks
<space>l select line from current buffer
<space>b select from current buffers
<space>o select from outline of current file
<space>s quick switch buffer
<space>/ recursively search all files for matching text (uses ag or ack if found)

bufkill.vim

<leader>bd or :BD will kill a buffer without changing the window layout

easymotion

easily jumps to any character on the screen
<leader><leader>w or <leader><leader>e will do the trick, along with any of the other default bindings that plugin has mapped under <leader><leader>
this is a forked version of lokaltog's version which uses vimperator style double keystrokes

easygrep

makes search/replacing in your project a lot easier without relying on find and sed
the loading time of this plugin is relatively heavy, so it is not loaded at startup. to load it on-demand, use <leader>vo, which opens the options window.
<leader>vv find word under the cursor
<leader>vV find whole word under the cursor
<leader>vr perform global search replace of word under cursor, with confirmation
<leader>vR same as vr, but matches whole word

fugitive

git wrapper
<leader>gs status
<leader>gd diff
<leader>gc commit
<leader>gb blame
<leader>gl log
<leader>gp push
<leader>gw stage
<leader>gr rm
in addition to all the standard bindings when in the git status window, you can also use U to perform a git checkout -- on the current file

unimpaired

many additional bracket [] maps
<C-up> to move lines up
<C-down> to move lines down

nerdtree

file browser
<F2> toggle browser
<F3> open tree to path of the current file

tcomment

very versatile commenting plugin that can do motions
gcc to toggle or gc{motion}

ctrlp

fuzzy file searching
<C-p> to bring up the search
\t search the current buffer tags
\T search global tags
\l search all lines of all buffers
\b search open buffers
\o parses the current file for functions with funky

nrrwrgn

<leader>nr puts the current visual selection into a new scratch buffer, allowing you to perform global commands and merge changes to the original file automatically

tabular

easily aligns code
<leader>a&, <leader>a=, <leader>a:, <leader>a,, <leader>a|

golden-ratio

a plugin which automatically resizes all your splits to give the current one the optimal amount of viewing real estate
this plugin will interfere with other plugins which rely on windows, so it is disabled by default and can be toggled on/off with <F4>

gist

automatically get or push changes for gists with :Gist

zencoding

makes for writing html/css extremely fast
for supported most filetypes, <tab> will be mapped to automatically expand the line (you can use <C-v><Tab> to insert a tab character if needed)
for other features, default plugin mappings are available, which means <C-y> is the prefix, followed by a variety of options (see :help zencoding)

youcompleteme/ultisnips

amazingly fast fuzzy autocomplete engine combined with an excellent snippets library
use <C-n> and <C-p> to go back/forward between selections, and <tab> to expand snippets

neocomplcache/neosnippet

autocomplete/snippet support as a fallback choice when YCM and/or python is unavailable
<Tab> to select the next match, or expand if the keyword is a snippet
if you have lua installed, it will use neocomplete instead

vimshell

<leader>c splits a new window with an embedded shell

vim-multiple-cursors

mapped to <C-N>, this will select all matching words and lets you concurrently change all matches at the same time

and some more plugins

surround makes for quick work of surrounds
repeat repeat plugin commands
speeddating Ctrl+A and Ctrl+X for dates
gist awesome plugin for your gist needs
signature shows marks beside line numbers
matchit makes your % more awesome
syntastic awesome syntax checking for a variety of languages
bufferline simple plugin which prints all your open buffers in the command bar
indent-guides vertical lines
signify adds + and - to the signs column when changes are detected to source control files (supports git/hg/svn)
delimitmate automagically adds closing quotes and braces
startify gives you a better start screen

and even more plugins...

i think i've listed about half of the plugins contained in this distribution, so please have a look at the vimrc directly to see all plugins in use

credits

i wanted to give special thanks to all of the people who worked on the following projects, or people simply posted their vim distributions, because i learned a lot and took many ideas and incorporated them into my configuration.
