Keyboard Layout

I use english keyboard layout since is the most efficient layout for development. Also I use the Caps Lock key as control key.

Wish List

Things i want to include, build, improve, etc

Git grep inside vim
mvim should open a new tab and pwd should be set to the current file
running 'gvim' or 'gvim .' should open the NERDTREE by default and an empty window on the right

Enjoy!

And don't forget this!!

This Vim for Rails config files, are forked from Federico Ramallo's github account, so you can follow him, and get some awsome and usefull stuff... :)
