My vim configuration. It works for me.

This is my personal vim configuration that I forked from bling's original. It's basically the same thing he does, except much lighter. I've removed everything I don't use in my normal work. Well, not really everything. I left a few things that I think are interesting or that I'm trying out, but I've removed a bunch.

If you want the full effect, with more plugins than you can count, get bling's original:

• bling

1. clone this repository into your ~/.vim directory
2. git submodule init && git submodule update
3. mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup
4. create the following shim and save it as ~/.vimrc:

let g:dotvim_settings = {}
let g:dotvim_settings.version = 1
source ~/.vim/vimrc

1. startup vim and neobundle will detect and ask you install any missing plugins. you can also manually initiate this with :NeoBundleInstall
2. done!

the g:dotvim_settings.version is a simple version number which is manually edited. it is used to detect whether significant breaking changes have been introduced so that users of the distribution can be notified accordingly.

• since the distribution is just one file, customization is straightforward. any customizations can be added to the g:dotvim_settings variable, which will be used whilst sourcing the distribution's vimrc file. here is an example:

" this is the bare minimum
let g:dotvim_settings = {}
let g:dotvim_settings.version = 1

" here are some basic customizations, please refer to the top of the vimrc file for all possible options
let g:dotvim_settings.default_indent = 3
let g:dotvim_settings.max_column = 80
let g:dotvim_settings.colorscheme = 'my_awesome_colorscheme'

" by default, language specific plugins are not loaded.  this can be changed with the following:
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups_exclude = ['ruby','python']

" if there are groups you want always loaded, you can use this:
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups_include = ['go']

" alternatively, you can set this variable to load exactly what you want
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups = ['core','web']

" if there is a particular plugin you don't like, you can define this variable to disable them entirely
let g:dotvim_settings.disabled_plugins=['vim-foo','vim-bar']

" finally, load the distribution
source ~/.vim/vimrc

" anything defined here are simply overrides
set wildignore+=\*/node_modules/\*
set guifont=Wingdings:h10

this distribution will pick one of two combinations, in the following priority:

1. [neocomplete][nc] + [neosnippet][ns] if you have lua enabled.
2. [neocomplcache][ncl] + [neosnippet][ns] if you only have vimscript available

this can be overridden with g:dotvim_settings.autocomplete_method

• if you have either ack or ag installed, they will be used for grepprg
• all temporary files are stored in ~/.vim/.cache, such as backup files and persistent undo

• <C-h> move the cursor left
• <C-l> move the cursor right
• jk, kj remapped for "smash escape"

• <leader>fef format entire file
• <leader>f$ strip current line of trailing white space
• window shortcuts
• <leader>v vertical split
• <leader>s horizontal split
• <leader>vsa vertically split all buffers
• <C-h> <C-j> <C-k> <C-l> move to window in the direction of hkjl
• window killer
• Q remapped to close windows and delete the buffer (if it is the last buffer window)
• searching
  • <leader>fw find the word under cursor into the quickfix list
  • <leader>ff find the last search into the quickfix list
  • / replaced with /\v for sane regex searching
  • <cr> toggles hlsearch
• <Down> <Up> maps to :bprev and :bnext respectively
• <Left> <Right> maps to :tabprev and :tabnext respectively
• gp remapped to visually reselect the last paste
• gb for quick going to buffer
• <leader>l toggles list and nolist
• profiling shortcuts
  • <leader>DD starts profiling all functions and files into a file profile.log
  • <leader>DP pauses profiling
  • <leader>DC continues profiling
  • <leader>DQ finishes profiling and exits vim

• <leader>s sort selection
• > and < automatically reselects the visual selection

• this is an extremely powerful plugin that lets you build up lists from arbitrary sources
• mappings
• <space><space> go to anything (files, buffers, MRU, bookmarks)
• <space>y select from previous yanks
• <space>l select line from current buffer
• <space>b select from current buffers
• <space>o select from outline of current file
• <space>s quick switch buffer
• <space>/ recursively search all files for matching text (uses ag or ack if found)

• git wrapper
• <leader>gs status
• <leader>gd diff
• <leader>gc commit
• <leader>gb blame
• <leader>gl log
• <leader>gp push
• <leader>gw stage
• <leader>gr rm
• in addition to all the standard bindings when in the git status window, you can also use U to perform a git checkout -- on the current file

• fuzzy file searching
• <C-p> to bring up the search
• \t search the current buffer tags
• \T search global tags
• \l search all lines of all buffers
• \b search open buffers
• \o parses the current file for functions with funky

• visualize the undo tree
• <F5> to toggle

• autocomplete/snippet support as a fallback choice when YCM and/or python is unavailable
• <Tab> to select the next match, or expand if the keyword is a snippet
• if you have lua installed, it will use [neocomplete][nc] instead

• <leader>c splits a new window with an embedded shell

• surround makes for quick work of surrounds
• repeat repeat plugin commands
• signature shows marks beside line numbers
• matchit makes your % more awesome
• syntastic awesome syntax checking for a variety of languages
• indent-guides vertical lines
• signify adds + and - to the signs column when changes are detected to source control files (supports git/hg/svn)
• delimitmate automagically adds closing quotes and braces
• startify gives you a better start screen

• i think i've listed about half of the plugins contained in this distribution, so please have a look at the vimrc directly to see all plugins in use

i wanted to give special thanks to all of the people who worked on the following projects, or people simply posted their vim distributions, because i learned a lot and took many ideas and incorporated them into my configuration.
