Vim Files

DEPRECATED: I am no longer using this repo as the contents of it have been integrated into my dotfiles. Archived/Readonly for reference purposes.

This is a collection of custom files that I used for vim that aren't really tied to any one plugin. Feel free to use them for your own personal use and modify them freely.

Colors

For a dark color scheme, I have really started to like twilight, but every version of the twilight colorscheme I have found was just a bit off from what I liked in textmate. When I found twilight256 (included in the colors directory), it was pretty close to textmate, and it also had one method for inputing colors via a grey code function. I combined that file with the twilight-vim file, which had a bunch of filetype specific colors (also included), and came up with NVL_twilight (yes, I tossed my initials on it, but I figured it was the most unique modifier I could add).

I also took that same file and inverted the colors, so if I need to invert the colors because I am starting at a white background for a extended period of time, I could turn on that syntax, and still view vim normaly.

I also found a version of the mac classic colorscheme that I have converted to grey code as well, which is nice if I am in a bright place and my glossy laptop screem makes it hard to see.

NOTE These schemes do not work on all versions of vim (for some reason, ubuntu plus tmux screws them up), so I will probably upload some other versions that work well for terminal vim.

EDIT There is a fix if you are having trouble with tmux. Add the following to your .bashrc:

  [ -n "TMUX" ] && export TERM="screen-256color"

and this should fix the issue for you.

Snippets for SnipMate

I like snipmate, and the extra plugins from scrooloose have been quite helpful, but I have found that I prefer to have the files in a single .snippet file.

So I have done just that.

I have taken all of .snippet files and combined them into a single file for each directory. So when I forget a snippet, I just have to look in one file (not 50) to figure out which one to use.

The Scrooloose snipmate-snippets are also meant to overwrite the current snipmate snippets (and there is no good way with pathogen to do that), so I started to remove the duplicates that conflict with the default ones from snipmate.
