# 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 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
|
|
sh ~/.vim/install_basic_vimrc.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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 git://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim
|
|
sh ~/.vim/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
|
|
|
|
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 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
|
|
git pull --rebase
|
|
|
|

|
## How to include your own stuff?
|
|
|
|
After you have installed the setup you can create **~/.vim/my_configs.vim** to fill in any configurations that are important for you. For instance, my **my_configs.vim** looks like this:
|
|
|
|
~/.vim (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
|
|
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-rails.git bundle/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>
|
|
