Simple vimrc set up using vim-plug

I currently use neovim but some of my vimrc will work with Vim 8+ (untested).

Getting started

To get started using this exact repo, clone and make it ~/.vim.

You need to manually install vim-plug itself:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Then symlink ~/.vimrc to ~/.vim/vimrc (after moving/integrating any existing ~/.vimrc you have to ~/.vim/.):

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim ~/.config/nvim

Install dependencies

ncm2-jedi depends on the Jedi Python library, so go ahead and make a new Python 3 virtualenv named neovim3 using pyenv, ideally, and then install jedi:

pyenv virtualenv 3.8.3 neovim3 && pyenv activate neovim3
pip install jedi

Finishing up

Start vim and run :PlugInstall to download the bundles from the remote sources. Restart vim to be safe and enjoy the awesomeness.

Notable plugins used

• nvim-treesitter to try fancier/faster syntax highlighting and code selection
• vim-picker is a nice fuzzy picker that uses fzy and I've defined some keys to activate it.
• ale, to check Python and other file types.
• fugitive.vim is a pretty amazing Git wrapper that seems to speed up my git workflow.
• lightline.vim I've switched from vim-airline, after using power_line, since airline kept getting more busy and I figured I'd try something else.
