I've tried to find +alternatives like using RubyMine, NetBeans or Komodo. These are all well and good, but I find +them to be too slow, utilize too much memory and resources, or just do not integrate that well +with my workstyle. + +What I love about TextMate is how it keeps things simple but provides little things like snytax +highlighting, smart indenting, and has file-tree style navigation (so I can browse). + +What I like about the IDEs are their ability to instantly jump to related types of files. For example +if you're working in a controller and want to jump to the view for the method you're in, or the test. + +I've found that Vim can give me the best of both worlds. Also it's widly available on any platform +so I don't have to relearn new commands or tricks (once I get used to the Vim ones). + + +What's in the Box? +------------------ + +This repo has a .vimrc (used to configure Vim itself) and them a .vim folder (which has a variety of +plugins). I've included Tim Pope's Rails-Vim plugin, VCS (for SVN, CSV or GIT integration), a Ruby test +plugin, NERDTree provides file navigation and surround helps with tags. + + +Installing +---------- + +Installation is simple. I assume you have vim (or gvim), most Linux systems do and so does Mac OS X. +Windows users can Google and download a binary port. + +Copy the .vim and .vimrc to your home directory. That's it! + +(Windows users might have to copy it elsehwere, refer to your documentation.) + README e6159b9f1e630ac1b8fe139060631381e25ea389 Nicholas Cancelliere ncancelliere@gmail.com http://github.com/ncancelliere/Ruby-VIM-Settings/commit/d3e027f0c09d9b0c58e8effe119afd290b8897c7 d3e027f0c09d9b0c58e8effe119afd290b8897c7
