The awesome Vim config files

This will allow you to run mac vim and develop on Ruby on Rails.

Some features include:

  • nice theme for gui and terminal with 16 colors. (ir_black and xterm16)
  • incremental Search that ignore case by default
  • Swap and backup out of your way

to install: you need to install macvim. If you are using OSX with macports you can run: sudo port install macvim +ruby

WARNING: The +ruby variant depends on ruby from macport! this could reinstall a new ruby env! You only require ruby support for command-t plugin. So you could remove +ruby to install it without ruby support:

then add the config files:

git clone git://github.com/framallo/Vim-for-Rails.git ~/.vim

cd ~/.vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

Then you need to load on ~/.vimrc. e.g.:

source ~/.vim/vim-for-rails.vim

" solarized dark background
colorscheme solarized
set background=dark

Then you need to load on ~/.gvimrc. e.g.:

source ~/.vim/gvim-for-rails.vim

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 'mvim' or 'mvim .' should open the NERDTREE by default and an empty window on the right

See it
