Troubleshoot: Because of the large amount of submodules, if you ever have any
trouble after pulling from the repository, it will be easier to just back up
your old .vim folder and just git clone a new version.
use command ‘curl’
curl -o - https://raw.github.com/s90198123/vimfiles/master/install_vim.sh | sh or ‘wget’
wget -O - https://raw.github.com/s90198123/vimfiles/master/install_vim.sh | sh Clone this repo into your home directory either as .vim (linux/mac) or
vimfiles (Windows). Such as:
git clone git://github.com/s90198123/vimfiles.git ~/vimfiles
run this to get the snippets submodule:
cd ~/vimfiles
git submodule update --init
On Windows you should create a _vimrc (underline instead of dot) and add
the following line inside:
source ~/vimfiles/vimrc
This way you can override the default configuration by adding your own inside
this file.
On Windows you should create a _gvimrc (underline instead of dot) and add
the following line inside:
source ~/vimfiles/gvimrc
This way you can override the default GUI configuration by adding your own inside
this file.
see more theme in here
find colorscheme in ~/.vim/vimrc and replace by your favorite theme
reference: janus#ColorScheme
At first usage of vim, type “:” while in command mode and execute:
call pathogen#helptags()This will make the plugins documentations available upon :help
You will need these dependencies figured out:
- Ruby (for the command-t plugin)
- Exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)
- Ncurses-term (in Linux only)
In Ubuntu, for example, you will have to do:
apt-get install exuberant-ctags ncurses-term
In OS X, you can install ctags with homebrew
brew install ctags
On Windows you have to download Ctags and add ctags.exe in your PATH.
Mac OS X and most Linux distros come with Ruby already. If you’re in Windows
look for Luis Lavena’s latest Ruby Installer (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/)
The latest version replaces the old Fuzzy Finder with a new one called
“Command-T” form wincent.com. I’ve replaced the old “Command-T” key
binding that used to open new tabs and assigned it to this new plugin
so it behaves the same as Textmate.
You may have problems in Mac/Linux because this plugin requires a native
extension, so you will have to do this:
rvm use system # use this line if using rvm
cd ~/.vim/bundle/Command-T/ruby/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make
This means that you need to have your Ruby source files and GCC also
installed. A binary for Windows is already bundled so it should just
work. I’ve also included a binary compiled for Ruby Enterprise Edition,
but if you are using other Ruby distros, you will need to recompile.
There are binaries for Mac and Windows. The Mac version is compiled
against the default system Ruby for Mac OS X 10.6.5. The Windows version
is compiled against Ruby Installer 1.8.7-p330.
Ubuntu 11.04 comes bundled with Vim 7.3.35, which has “flaky” Ruby support.
Even if you do everything right, you might see the following crashes when
trying to use Command-T:
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Segmentation fault
If this happens to you, update Vim to 7.3.154:
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ ~/vim
cd ~/vim
hg update -C v7-3-154
./configure --enable-rubyinterp --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gnome2
make
sudo make install
More details can be found here
Note that the options ‘—with-features=huge —enable-gui=gnome2’ are not mentioned on the post above but they are necessary to also update the graphical version of vim (gvim).
see joelthelion@github.com/autojump/wiki to install native support,
and see trotter@github.com/autojump.vim how to use in vim
All plugins were checked out as git submodules, which can be upgraded with git pull. For example, to upgrade Command-T
cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
git pull
To install a new plugin as a git submoudle, type the following commands.
cd ~/.vim
git submodule add [GIT-REPOSITORY-URL] bundle/[PLUGIN-NAME]
To install the plugin, when github has new plugins and local repository exists, type the following commands.
cd ~/.vim
git pull
git submodule upgrade --init

~/.vim/snippets
there is two way to create.
1. ~/.vim/snippets/{filetype}/{shortcut}.snippet – first, find or create the directory naming by file type in ~/.vim/snippets (ex. ~/.vim/snippets/html), second, create the snippets naming by shortcut name (ex. ~/.vim/snippets/html/div.snippet), finally, put the snippet text in here.
<div id="${1: default}">${2}</div>
2. ~/.vim/snippets/{filetype}.snippets – put the snippet text in this file, the syntax like
snippet div
<div id="${1: default}">
${2}
</div>
you can reference more in ~/.vim/snippets/
To read doc about this plugin usage, type following commands.
:help neocomplcache
when keyword match the pattern, it will pop a menu, then use <C-N> and <C-P> to select next or prev, type <C-K> to confirm your selection.
or if keyword match the snippet pattern, you can type <TAB> to do omni-completion, when enter snippet-completion mode, do same as prev step.
if don’t like this plugin, can use ‘SuperTab’ to replace it, and it can work well with ‘vjde’, but neocomplcache can’t.
use <C-f> to do file-completion (origin is <C-x><C-f>)
HTML, Javascript, CSS: use <tab> to do omni-completion. (see next for java)
use <tab> to do keyword / auto completion. (only java-base api, by plugin/vjde)
use <C-o> to do omni completion. (by plugin/javacomplete, origin is <C-x><C-o>)
type <m><tab> will generate model
package models;
import java.util.*;
import javax.persistence.*;
import play.db.jpa.*;
import play.data.validation.*;
@Entity
public class User extends Model {
public String name;
}
type <c><tab> will generate controller
package controllers;
import play.*;
import play.mvc.*;
import play.data.validation.*;
import java.util.*;
import models.*;
public class Users extends Controller {
public static void index() {
render();
}
}
