ggterm

My terminal configuration for C++ development with Vim.

Warning: use at your own risk. Using this repo can mess up your existing environment! It is highly recommended to first try it out in a fresh VM!

Quick start

The repo is meant to be used on Ubuntu 18.04+ but could also work on Mac OS with some adaptations.

sudo apt-get install vim g++ cmake python-setuptools python3-pip clangd-10
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clangd clangd /usr/bin/clangd-10 100

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/ggterm --recursive
cd ggterm

./install.sh

# optionally add "source ~/.myenv" at the end of your ~/.bashrc

Vim C++ features

Vim is configured with the following plugins:

YouCompleteMe
NERDTree
Fugitive
fzf
vimspector
etc.

To enable all features make sure to have a compile_commands.json file in the root source directory of your project. When using CMake, I usually create it like this:

cd /path/to/project
ln -sf ./build/compile_commands.json

My Vim usage is tab-oriented. Check the .vimrc file for all available shortcuts. Here is a partial list for convenience:

Action	Shortcut
tn	open new tab
tc	clone current tab
t[0-9]	switch to tab [0-9]
tm[0-9]	move tab to position [0-9]
;d	go to definition
;r	list all references
\gl	all commits
\ga	commits for current file
\gdc	go to declaration
\rs	remove all trailing spaces
\lf	clang-format
\gH	open line in Github
\gB	blame line in Github
Ctrl + f	fuzzy search file
Ctrl + p	fuzzy search text
Ctrl + o	switch between source and header file
Ctrl + n	toggle NERD tree
Ctrl + l	open NERD tree in current folder
Ctrl + k	fuzzy search current text under cursor
F5	Start debugging
F5	Continue until break
F10	Step over
F11	Step into
F12	Complete the current funcion
F9	Toggle breakpoint
F3	Stop debugging
F4	Start again with same options
F6	Interrupt the debuger
F7	Add watch expression from visual selection
\F8	Run to cursor
