guoqiao's vimrc

I work as Python Dev and DevOps for 10+ years. Vim is my main editor, this repo is the configuration for it.

Key Features

work on Ubuntu/Debian Linux and macOS
use builtin vim pack feature to manage plugins
plugins are optional

Principles:

keep it lightweight and minimal, only use necessary config and plugins
keep it general for both macOS and Ubuntu
keep it updated, never stop to absorb new ideas and tools
keep it easy to use, use most reasonable and handy shortcuts

Quick Start

On Ubuntu or macOS, open a terminal:

git clone https://github.com/guoqiao/vimrc.git ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
make apt  # run apt to install deps, for debian/ubuntu
# make brew  # run brew to install deps, for mac or ubuntu with homebrew installed
make plugins  # optional: install or update plugins if you need plugins

If you don't want plugins, just rm vimrc.plugins, or comment out the lines at end of vimrc.

Useful mapping

map ; to :, so you don't need to press shift for : each time
0 to line begin, <Space> to line end
