Vim configuration

Primary LanguageVim Script

.vim

  1. Clone this as your .vim directory.
  2. You need to make a symbolic link to vimrc in .vim: 
    ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
  3. Install vundle for add-ons: 
    git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
    and then within vim run :PluginInstall
  4. You will need to install YouCompleteMe. Follow instructions from their github on how to do this. Note that it requires a vim compiled with Python support.
  5. For linting you probably also need to install flake8 with pip install flake8
  6. This also has vim-devicons. That requires a NERD-compatible font on your local machine (will then work in any SSH session the plugin is installed in). Run fc-match Monospace to find out your font, then install the NERD-compatible version of that from nerd-fonts, set that to be your terminal's font (on local machine), then it should work everywhere.
  7. For tags (to track definitions within a package) this uses gutentags. To make that work you need a ctags tool, the package recommends installing exuberant-ctags on your system (i.e. with apt).
