MacVim / Windows gVim

Requirements

Mac

• MacVim - I'm currently using snapshot 65 on Mountain Lion.

Windows

• gVim - I'm using Wu Yongwei's pre-compiled gVim 7.3.333 because it has Ruby support and the latest patches.

Mappings

• Typing jk insert mode is equivalent to Escape.
• Pressing enter in normal mode saves the current buffer.

And many more. See mappings.vim and plugin_config.vim for more.

Notes

Be sure to always edit the vimrc using ,v, which opens the vimrc in the .vim folder. Vim has a nasty habit of overriding symlinks.

Plugin Installation / Requirements

Here's a list of plugins that require further installation or have dependencies.

• Ag.vim Requires The Silver Searcher to be installed.
• Source Code for Powerline The custom font I'm using for vim-airline.
• CtrlP C Matching Extension requires compilation. See the steps in its readme.
• underscore-cli for sweet JSON formatting.
