vimconf

  • Super easy to install and extend
  • Everything in the vimrc is explained
  • A universal configuration with a syntax checker, plugin manager and more

Installation

Dependencies: Exuberant ctags (tagbar)

git clone https://github.com/timss/vimconf.git
ln -s vimconf/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

Run vim and it'll download and install all plugins automatically!

Configuration

If you choose to symlink your ~/.vimrc you can easily maintain an updated version of this vim configuration by using the local additions.

~/.vimrc.plugins Add your personal plugins here (previously .vimrc.bundles).
~/.vimrc.first Prerequisites only, as it will be overwritten by whatever below.
~/.vimrc.last Overrides everything. Generally use this.

I've chosen to include mostly universal plugins and configuration, meaning that not a lot is language specific and should be fitting for most use cases. If you want additional plugins for autocomplete and more you can do so easily using your local files mentioned above.

Some useful plugins could be:

  • clang_complete - C/C++ autocompletion using Clang
  • jedi-vim - Python autocompletion using the Jedi library.
  • YouCompleteMe - Autocompletion for several languages (C/C++, Python, ...)

Suggestions, questions and problems

Feel free to give me suggestions, ask questions or point out things that needs to be fixed by adding an issue. Remember to include Vim version and other relevant information.

Disclaimer

Even if this configuration can be used out of the box or tweaked using the local files, I urge you to build your own if you have the time and energy to do so. Only then will you be able to properly understand the reasoning behind each setting and tailor it to your personal workflow.

However I still believe my Vim setup will help you get a basis configuration for your own, introducing core ideas such as a plugin manager and .vimrc structure. Use this configuration well, but do not blindly trust it to suit you perfectly. It's intended to be played with!

Todo

  • Update preview (gifs)
  • Extract some language/plugin specific configuration to an example file (wiki)?
