ultimate-vim/README.md

**My Personal README is in [tiande.txt](/tiande.txt)**

我会时不时的更新下 [tiande.txt](/tiande.txt) 算是记录 vim 使用过程中的收获，你可以没事来逛逛 ;) 

如果你也有愿意分享的小技巧，欢迎 pull request ，或者邮箱联系我： dtdnqsb@163.com

if you wanna use Tiande's version, just:
```
git clone git://github.com/Tiande/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
bash ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
```
OR 
You can [Dowmload a ZIP](https://github.com/Tiande/vimrc/archive/master.zip),

UNZIP and put the **vimrc** dir to your home folder,

RENAME **vimrc** to **.vim_runtime**,

FINALLY you need:
```
bash ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
```
如果要使用 TagList 功能，还需手动安装 [Ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)




# The Ultimate vimrc

Over the last 8 years I have used and tweaked Vim. This is my Ultimate vimrc.

There are two versions:

* **Basic**: If you want something small just copy [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim) into your ~/.vimrc and you will have a great basic setup
* **Awesome**: This includes a ton of useful plugins, color schemes and configurations

I would of course recommend using the awesome version.

## How to install the Awesome version?
The awesome version includes a lot of great plugins, configurations and color schemes that make Vim a lot better. To install it simply do following:

	git clone https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
	sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh

The taglist.vim plugin will require ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net) (Debian: apt-get install ctags)

I also recommend using [Source Code Pro font from Adobe](http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayFontPackage&code=1960) (it's free and awesome font for writing and programming). The Awesome vimrc is already setup to try to use it

## How to install the Basic version?
The basic version is basically just one file and no plugins. You can check out [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim).

This is useful to install on remote servers where you don't need many plugins and you don't do many edits.

	git clone git://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
	sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_basic_vimrc.sh


## How to install on Windows?

Use [msysgit](http://msysgit.github.com/) to checkout the repository and run the installation instructions above. No special instructions needed ;-)


## How to update to latest version?

Simply just do a git rebase!

    cd ~/.vim_runtime
    git pull --rebase

## How to include your own stuff?

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](https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails):

	cd ~/.vim_runtime
	git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-rails.git sources_non_forked/vim-rails
	
Now you have vim-rails installed ;-)


## Key Mappings

### Plugin related mappings

Open [bufexplorer](https://github.com/vim-scripts/bufexplorer.zip) and see and manage the current buffers:
    
    map <leader>o :BufExplorer<cr>

Open [MRU.vim](https://github.com/vim-scripts/mru.vim) and see the recently open files:

    map <leader>f :MRU<CR>

Open [ctrlp.vim](https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim) plugin:
    
    let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-f>'

Open [PeepOpen](https://peepcode.com/products/peepopen) plugin:

    map <leader>j :PeepOpen<cr>

Managing the [NERD Tree](https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree) plugin:

    map <leader>nn :NERDTreeToggle<cr>
    map <leader>nb :NERDTreeFromBookmark 
    map <leader>nf :NERDTreeFind<cr>

[goyo.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim) and [vim-zenroom2](https://github.com/amix/vim-zenroom2) lets you only focus on one thing at a time. It removes all the distractions and centers the content. It has a special look when editing Markdown, reStructuredText and textfiles. It only has one mapping.

    map <leader>z :Goyo<cr>

### Normal mode mappings

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>


### Insert mode mappings

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 mappings

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>
	

### Command line mappings

$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>

Write the file as sudo (only on Unix). Super useful when you open a file and you don't have permissions to save your changes. [Vim tip](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Su-write):

    :W 


### Spell checking
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=

### Cope	
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>
