Current setup for vim and tmux

Install vim with python3 support

• Easiest way for mac users is to just brew install vim
• Check vim --version afterwards and see that somewhere it says +python3

Installing vimconfig

• Run git clone https://github.com/dckesler/vimconfig.git ~/.vim
• (Or the git address of your fork if you forked this)

Ubuntu Note

Try linuxbrew http://linuxbrew.sh/ Currently not all the packages can be installed via apt-get

Setup steps

init.vim should be symlinked to .vimrc

• Run ln -s ~/.vim/init.vim ~/.vimrc

You need tmux

• Run brew install tmux

Install this to have tmux and your clipboard be friends

• Run brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

tmux.conf should be symlinked to ~/.tmux.conf

• Run ln -s ~/.vim/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

Install vundle

• Run git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.Vim ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Install Silver Searcher

• Run brew install the_silver_searcher

Install FZF for fuzzy searching

• Run brew install fzf
• You'll see a helpful hint at the end something like

To install useful keybindings and fuzzy completion:
  /usr/local/opt/fzf/install

• Run that and agree to the three questions
• Finally add this line to your shell config export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='ag -g ""'
• That line makes it so FZF will respect your .gitignore when searching

Install your vim plugins

• Inside of vim type :PluginInstall
• This makes Vundle go through and install all the plugins

Install additonal coc extensions via :CocInstall as you please

Custom Vundle Plugins

• Add the file ~/.vim/vundles.custom.vim.
• Add vim plugins like this Plugin 'gituser/repo-name'
• Then run :PluginInstall

Custom Vim Stuff

The directory custom/ can be filled with any vim files you want and they will all be loaded into the vim setup. None of that directory is version controlled.

Tmuxifier

Tmuxifier is a way to have saved tmux window and session layouts (these instructions work for bash or zsh) Check out the project here https://github.com/jimeh/tmuxifier with more in depth instructions

Installing Tmuxifier

• git clone https://github.com/jimeh/tmuxifier.git ~/.vim/tmuxifier Now you need to load the tmuxifier PATH
• echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.vim/tmuxifier/bin:$PATH"' >> <your shell configuration file>
• echo 'eval "$(tmuxifier init -)"' >> <your shell configuration file>

Adding tmuxifier window layouts

• Add a file to ~/.vim/tmuxifier/layouts/
• For example touch ~/.vim/tmuxifier/layouts/example.window.sh
• Add this code to the file

new_window "example"
run_cmd "vim"

split_v 20
split_h 50
split_h 50
select_pane 2
split_h 50

• Then inside of tmux run tmuxifier load-window example
• It should start up something with a large pane opened in vim and 4 smaller panes at the bottom
