My VIM Configuration based on AMIX's Awesome VIMRC
Install Amix's VIMRC Awesome version
git clone https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
Replace the ~/.vim_runtime content with all the files in this REPO
If using zsh on OSX (and probably Linux) copy your .zshrc to .zshenv
I had some trouble getting NeoComplete working on GVIM on Windows. You can use the following copy of GVIM if you also have trouble. GVIM 7.4.xx with LUA
It is really useful to map the CAPLOCK key to something else, I prefer to map it to CONTROL (thanks to larsx2). Some other people prefer ESC.
MAC
Under System Preferences > Keyboard, You have an option to MAP some of the keys. It's really easy.
WINDOWS
I used KeyTweak
LINUX (UBUNTU)
I used Gnome Tweak Tool
Ctags is required for autocomplete.
Download Exuberant Tags
Make sure that ctags is in the $PATH variable
Install Ctags on OSX OSX already comes with a version of Ctags but not Exuberant Ctags so we have to make an alias to fix this. Just run the following 2 commands:
brew install ctags
alias ctags="`brew --prefix`/bin/ctags"
To use, navigate to the root of your proyect and exec:
ctags -R --languages=<your language, for example 'c'>
EXAMPLE:
ctags -R --exclude=node_modules --languages=javascript
If you need help, type:
ctags --help
Javascript Tags If using ctags with javascript, I recommend placing the .ctags file I have in the ctags directory in the folder you want to create the tags.
Install the Source Code Pro font
I use syntastic for syntax hightlighting. Currently I disabled the Checkers for C since I haven't been able to make it work (because I do embedded C). However it works with javascript and html but you need to install the checkers.
Javascript
Install JSHint and JSXHint
npm install -g jshint jsxhint
HTML
Install Tidy
MAC
brew update
brew install tidy-html5
I already have the Checkers enabled in the config file. Change them if you want to use another one.
It's possible to search inside all the files in the project (tags file is required) using Ack. You need to have Ack installed and in the $PATH variable to be able to use it inside VIM.
To Install ACK do the following:
MAC Requires homebrew
brew install ack
LINUX (UBUNTU)
cpan App:Ack
WINDOWS
First install Strawberry Perl
Then just type in the windows CMD Terminal the following: Make sure you are in C:\ path when executing the following command.
cpan -f App::Ack
USAGE
Simply place the cursor in the word you want to search and type:
:Ack
