A second take on my vim and neovim configurations.

# clone repo

# install the minpac plugin manager

• Moving better

  • Motions and Text Objects :help navigation
  • Jumps (Search, Tags, Changes)
  • Consider disabling backspace changes so we have to use Normal mode
  • Consider lowering or disabling key repeat to force you to use operators motions and objects

• Read up on 'tags-and-searches' 'definitions-search' 'suffixadd', 'includeexpr', 'cfile' Investigate how we can use these with PHP, JS, Composer, Node and ctags/global tags

  • 'includeexpr' can take a function. it's used by gf to jump to files. Look at how rails.vim uses this.

Spaces {size}>  —  Use {size} spaces for indentation rather than tabs.

Tabs {size}>  —  Use {size} tabs for indentation rather than spaces.

DiffOrig  —  diff the current buffer against the file it was loaded from. Useful for seeing the changes made so far. spaces.

CreateSnippet  —  to be implemented will create a new snippet from the currently selected text (or range?); useful for when I notice I'm repeating patterns/idioms.

• <C-L>  —  clear highlighted searches; mapped as an analog to <C-L> to clear in the shell?
• <C-E> triggers snippet expansion for Ultisnips
• g!  —  run/filter the current line or visual selection through the shell. Effectively, we can execute commands/scripts from the buffer. See :help filter. You can use ! and !! normal mode to supply the target filter yourself.

Use ~ and g~ with motions to change the case of text targeted by motion

• Check out cpoptions
• Look into useing 'define' 'include-search' 'includeexpr' 'suffixesadd' ''
• Consider having an "extra" mapping for gf like <Space>gf or <LocalLeader>gf that can do extra/uncommon things when I want hop files such as dealing with NL's non PSR code in PHP etc.
• Create command to run buffer or selection through a language specific interpreter. Results should go to a scratch buffer :help filter :help buftype

Installing the PHP Language Server globally…

composer global require "felixfbecker/language-server"
composer global require "jetbrains/phpstorm-stubs:dev-master@dev"
composer run-script --working-dir=$HOME/.composervendor/felixfbecker/language-server parse-stubs

Run

php $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin/php-language-server.php
# composer global exec php-language-server.php did not work
