Maple's Vim config

I use vundle to manage my plugins, which makes my .vim directory clean and tidy. If you are new to vim, the following two posts

will be good for you.

Most of the time we are writing code so we need:

Code Completions

Such as completions for variable names and function names(neocomplcache), expanding snippets(snipMate), auto closing brackets/brace/quote(delimitMate) and fast expand expressions to HTML(ZenCoding).

  • neocomplcache - Ultimate auto completion system for Vim.
  • snipMate - Plugin for using TextMate-style snippets in Vim.
  • supertab - Perform all your vim insert mode completions with Tab.
  • ZenCoding - High speed HTML and CSS coding.
  • delimitMate - Provides auto-balancing and some expansions for parens, quotes, etc.

Shortcuts

  • Tab -> Rotate across the completion list
  • Tab -> Expand snippets or jump to the next placeholder of snippet
  • Ctrl + j -> Call zen-coding expansion on html tags

Dependencies

Compile Vim with --enable-pythoninterp and --enable-rubyinterp to enable powerful syntax completion supplied by neocomplcache.

brew install macvim --override-system-vim  # OS X
yaourt -S gvim                             # ArchLinux
sudo apt-get install vim-gtk               # Ubuntu

Completions Snippets

Sometimes we need to jump to previous positions to copy/paste or do some fixes:

Fast navigation

  • matchit - Extended % matching for HTML, LaTeX, and many other languages.
  • EasyMotion - Vim motions on speed!

Tutorial

:help easymotion

Shortcuts

  • % -> Jump between brackets and html/xml tags

Doing fixes should be as fast as possible!

  • nerdcommenter - Easy commenting of code for many filetypes.
  • Gundo - visualize your Vim undo tree.
  • tabular - Vim script for text filtering and alignment.

How to manage this vimrc?

All plugins are listed in file bundles.vim with detailed comments, just add plugins as you like.

  1. :BundleClean to clean up unused plugins
  2. :BundleInstall to install newly added plugins
  3. :BundleInstall! to upgrade all plugins

Other configurations are also well organized in vimrc.
