My 12 Year-Old (Neo)Vim Configuration

My 12 Year-Old (Neo)Vim Configuration

About

I've been iterating on this configuration for more than 12 years and 1,000 commits. It's very unlikely you'd want to use it directly. Instead, feel free to learn and take snippets from it.

Plugins and Configuration in their Own File

This is one of the things I'm most proud of, definitely steal it.

Each plugin is included and managed in its own file.

Installation

Be sure you read the About section above.

1. git clone [email protected]:mutewinter/dot_vim.git ~/.config/nvim.
2. cd ~/.config/nvim.

Now you have a choice. The automated script or the manual process.

1. Run scripts/setup.

or

1. rake vim:link to make the .vimrc and .nvimrc symbolic links.
2. vim +PlugInstall +qall

Vim Requirements

• I'm using NeoVim via Homebrew on macOS.

Mappings

• Pressing enter in normal mode saves the current buffer, if needed.

And many more. See mappings.vim and plug_plugins for more.

Installing Custom Plugins

Create a new .vim file with the same name as the plugin you'd like to install in plug_plugins/custom. Then add the installation block. For example:

plug_plugins/custom/vim-move.vim

if exists('g:plug_installing_plugins')
  Plug 'matze/vim-move.vim'
  finish
endif

let g:move_key_modifier = 'C'

This example installs vim-move.

dot_vim's Issues

symbol error

what's wrong with my arrow symbol?

Use github access token

Hi, I've prepared a pr (#36) to use github access token for the plugins update functions.

Setup fails at plugin install for neovim

The setup script fails saying "mvim or nvim not found in path". Shouldn't there be a check for nvim as well?

leaving vim changes xterm cursor

Not sure if this is just me, but leaving vim will change the xterm block cursor to an ibar.
Not exactly a mind-blowing issue, but I thought that someone might know how to get vim to not mess with xterm's block cursor.

Fantastic project by the way, love it!

Not sure but jellybean isn't installing correctly

Be consistent with Vundle's new interface

Vundle is undergoing an interface change wherein the term Bundle will be replaced by Plugin. The file ~/vim/vundle.vim should adopt this change.

auto-pairs

say have you ever considered using a plugin which automatically completes quotes and other pairs? I'm trying out jiangmiao/auto-pairs. just started so i don't have a recommendation but I recently realized it's one of the features I miss from other editors.

Windows Cygwin install issues

@mutewinter thank you for a great setup. I just (for now) switched to it from spf13 (which I also like). Main reason for switch is that YouCompleteMe doesn't seem to work under spf13 but works here.

I have no issues installing this on my mac but would like to install it on 1) Windows 7 under cygwin and later CentOS 5/6.

When I try to run vim "+mkspell ~/.vim/spell/custom.en.utf-8.add" +PluginInstall +qall I get the following errors:

Error detected while processing /home/Robert Ekendahl/.vim/vundle.vim:
line   18:
E172: Only one file name allowed: source /home/Robert Ekendahl/.vim/vundle_plugins/ag.vim

line    3:
E172: Only one file name allowed: source /home/Robert Ekendahl/.vim/vundle_plugins/ag.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue

It then simply installs ag.vim :-(

It would be great if this could be installed on Windows and under cygwin

Disable Escape while learning new binding and didnt re enable it

OFC I know that this is your conf. But in case you wanna make the change

gl and thanks for the configuration

tcomment syntax is deprecated

tcomment: tcommentMapLeaderOp1 is deprecated; please use g:tcomment_opleader1 instead; your setting might be ignored
tcomment: tcommentMapLeader1 is deprecated; please use g:tcomment_mapleader1 instead; your setting might be ignored

I just can't find time to make it work, sorry. :(

[FAIL] Install Ruby and Rake to continue ??

thinks

setup missing info

There are a couple of issues with the setup instructions:

• your username is hardcoded in the git clone command
• the instructions don't mention that you have to manually install vundle before starting vim and running :BundleInstall

Vim errors on startup if Dash isn't installed

Just FYI, it took me a little bit to track this down, but I was getting an error when starting Vim if Dash wasn't installed first. I'd send a pull-request to update the readme but I wasn't sure if you'd consider Dash an actual requirement or not.

Quickfixsigns interacts poorly with :Glog command from fugitive

The quickfixsigns plugin interacts poorly with the :Glog command from fugitive, wanting a line number that :Glog isn't supplying. This results in many lines of error messages, one per log entry. Even worse, those error messages are repeated every time you do a :cnext command (or equivalent mapping), making it painful to use fugitive.

https://gist.github.com/1714107 shows the results of running :Glog on the vimrc file from https://github.com/mutewinter/dot_vim.

Possible fixes might involve patching quickfixsigns not to complain when lnum = 0 -- the following patch to quickfixsigns seems to work:

diff --git a/plugin/quickfixsigns.vim b/plugin/quickfixsigns.vim
index 9215b34..79f384e 100755
--- a/plugin/quickfixsigns.vim
+++ b/plugin/quickfixsigns.vim

             else

+                "echohl NONE
             endif
         endfor
     finally

Another fix would, of course, be removing quickfixsigns from the installed bundles list, though that might be overkill considering a 3-line patch is enough to solve the problem.

why no syntastic?

tmux navigator bindings in terminal

Hi, thanks for this awesome treasure trove of vim goodies.

I'm trying to track down an issue with vim navigation from within tmux and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share the tmux config file you're using in conjunction with this repo.

Namely, I'm wondering how you got the alt/meta key to work from the Terminal with these tmux navigator bindings:

nnoremap <silent> <M-h> :TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <M-j> :TmuxNavigateDown<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <M-k> :TmuxNavigateUp<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <M-l> :TmuxNavigateRight<cr>

License missing?

Would it be possible to add a license to the repo so we can be sure under which conditions we're actually allowed to copy and/or reuse the code here?

Cannot find color scheme 'jellybeans'

Hello,

I'm on OS X 10.12.6 and using nvim installed with Homebrew. After installing with:

git clone http://github.com/mutewinter/dot_vim.git ~/.config/nvim.
cd ~/.config/nvim.

I get the following error when starting nvim:

Error detected while processing /Users/rms/.config/nvim/config.vim:
line    9:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'jellybeans'
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I've checked in the ~/.config/nvim/plug_plugins folder and I do see the jellybeans.vim directory.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.
