dotvim

A modern, lightweight configuration for neovim.

prerequisites

  • neovim + the python2/3 neovim bindings

If you're on macOS, the easiest way to acquire the right versions of things is to use Homebrew:

neovim:

brew install neovim
brew install python3
pip3 install neovim

installing

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codykrieger/dotvim/master/bootstrap.sh -o - | sh

what makes this vim config special

notable features

  • Leader key set to comma ,, not backslash \
  • Syntax-aware auto-indent
  • Sane default tab/space and tab width settings for tons of different languages
  • (Asynchronous!) source code linting and autocomplete for a bunch of languages
  • Remembers last location in a given file
  • ~/.vim/backup directory for holding .swp files, rather than littering them all over your filesystem
  • Allows overrides in ~/.vimrc.local for stuff you don't want to check in to source control

helpful keybindings

  • ctrl-n and ctrl-m for "bubbling" lines of text up and down, respectively, in normal, insert, and visual modes (via the unimpaired plug-in)
  • ctrl-k for deleting lines (i.e. dd)
  • F1 remapped to :nohl to turn off search highlighting
  • <leader>e autocompletion to the current dir to edit a file
  • <leader>te autocompletion to the current dir to edit a file in a new tab
  • ctrl-a to jump to the beginning and ctrl-e to jump to the end of a line in command mode, just like in a shell
  • gp to select the thing you just changed (or pasted) when in normal mode
