vim: A Vim Script repository from tomqw

Intro

I'm currently a Ruby/Rails/iOS app developer and instructor, this is my personal Vim configurations and some plugins which I used in my daily job, and I removed and reorganized redundant settings and plugins from my another vim repository https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim

I put Vim related settings in plugin/settings/settings.vim, and isolated other plugins' settings in plugin/settings directory.

You might notice that there are several vimrc files:

vimrc, standard version vimrc.
vimrc_easy, same as vimrc, but add some easier key mapping for new Vimer.
vimrc_pro, same as vimrc, but remove the arrow keys mapping.
vimrc_experimental, same as pro-vimrc, but just for experimental purpose.

you can make a symbolic link of your ~/.vimrc to any one of them as you wish :)

my Vim looks like:

color theme: solarized dark

Usage

Installation and Requisites:

Automatic installer... (DO YOU TRUST ME?)

If you already install git in your machine, and you trust me and my automatic install shell script, you can install my vimrc via curl or wget, just copy one of the following line and paste in terminal:

via curl:

sh <(curl -L https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim2/raw/master/utils/install.sh)
or via wget:

sh <(wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim2/raw/master/utils/install.sh -O -)

Manual installation

BACKUP your .vim directory and .vimrc first.(IMPORTANT!)
cd ~ to change directory to your home directory.
copy files to your home directory:

git clone git://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim2.git .vim
make a symbolic link to vimrc:
```
 ln -s .vim/vimrc .vimrc
```
if you're still not familiar with the movements in vim by HJKL or yanking and pasting text, I've made a easier version:
```
 ln -s .vim/vimrc_easy .vimrc
```
if you use GUI version VIM, such as MacVim or GVim, you can also link to .gvimrc:
```
 ln -s .vim/gvimrc .gvimrc
```
if you use Airline under Ubuntu or something which can not show the correct icons/fonts on the bottom, you can check this link, patch the font and it should look pretty nice.
you might need to install ack or silver searcher if you use ack.vim.

Features and Key Mappings:

my <leader> key is \.
Toggle between working mode and presentation mode by <leader>z, but it only works in GUI version Vim. You can check here to see how it looks like.
some usually used key mappings in normal mode:
- <F2> to toggle NERDTree on and off.
- <F4> to toggle Taglist window.
- <F5> is the script runner, according to it's filetype, it will run Ruby(*.rb) ,Python(*.py) or PHP(*.php) file, even CoffeeScript(*.coffee, but you may have to install CoffeeScript first). If the filetype is VimScript, <F5> will reloadrun :source % and reload the current file.
- hit <ctrl>p will launch a quick window to match keywords from your current working directory, not only file name, but also path name.
- hit <leader> twice to toggle comment on and off.
- <tab> and <shift><tab> to increase and decrease the syntax identation.
Remove tailing whitespace automatically while saving.

FAQ

if you can not found ctags command, just find your ctags path and replace my settings in plugin/settings/ctags.vim file:

let Tlist_Ctags_Cmd = '/your/path/to/ctags'

and Exuberant Ctags is recommended.
