surround (ys/cs/ds)

Allows adding/removing/changing of surroundings

I would highly recommend getting to know this plugin, it is very useful. Especially when you grok text objects.

Characters

ysiw) - surround inner word with ()

ysiw( - surround inner word with ( )

In the above example iw can be replaced with any text object or motion.

If you find yourself manually adding surroundings, stop and work out the correct text object or motion.

cs"' - change surrounding from " to '

ds - delete surrounding

Tags

yss<p> - surround line in <p> tags

cst<div> - change surround tag to <div>

solarized

A colour scheme, both light and dark version

:set background=dark

:set background=light

fuzzyfinder (,b)

Find open buffer by path/filename

taglist (,l)

Lists method names, provide auto complete

,rt Generates Ruby tags, this will include tags for your code and gems if using RVM.

If you are not using RVM you can run ctags -R in project root to generate tags.

Or to run directly from within vim :!ctags -R.

Ctrl+] - skips to the tag under the cursor

preview (,P)

Preview markup files such as Markdown and RDoc

Each format requires the relevant gem to be installed such as bluecloth for Markdown and github-markup for RDoc.

syntastic

Syntax checking

When a file is saved the syntax is automatically checked and any errors reported.

vundle

Plugin manager and part of the reason why my vimfiles as so compact

INSTALLATION

Note: If you are using RVM make sure you use system ruby before installation.

rvm use system

Note: If you already have Vim installed ensure it has support for Ruby:

vim --version | grep ruby

You should see +ruby, if you see -ruby you need to reinstall Vim with Ruby support

Install Vim (if not already installed)

MacOS: MacVim / Vim

brew install macvim --override-system-vim --enable-clipboard

Add /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your $PATH so you use the version of vim installed by Homebrew, not the one that comes with MacOS.

By installing Vim in this way MacVim and regular Vim are exactly the same.

Ubuntu: gVim / Vim

Server

apt-get install vim-nox

Desktop

apt-get install vim-gnome

GNU/Linux from source

If you have an old GNU/Linux distro which does not have Vim 7.3 or better in its repos then install from source.

The configure options below leave out any GUI related features as I have only compiled Vim on a server.

Vim source is in a hg (Mercurial) repository so you need to install the hg client first, e.g. sudo apt-get install mercurial.

hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim/vim73
./configure
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-cscope --enable-pythoninterp --enable-rubyinterp --enable-perlinterp --enable-multibyte
make
sudo make install

This installs Vim to /usr/local/bin, check this is in your $PATH before /usr/bin which may contain an older system version of Vim.

If you get an error no terminal library found install libncurses5-dev.

Install these vimfiles

Note: You will already have a ~/.vim folder, either delete or move it.

mv ~/.vim ~/.vim.old
git clone https://github.com/krisleech/vimfiles ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
rake install

or run:

curl https://raw.github.com/krisleech/vimfiles/master/bootstrap.sh -o - | sh

To update to the latest vimfiles

cd ~/.vim
rake update

Install Dependacies

MacOS

brew install ack
brew install ctags

Note: MacOS comes with the BSD version of ctags which is not compatible.

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags
sudo apt-get install ack-grep
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ack-grep /usr/local/bin/ack
