vim_setup_settings

Portable Vim settings including various plugins. The plugins I claim no ownership over and have the utmost respect for their creators. Plugins include Tim Pope's pathogen, Scrooloose's NERDTree, and many more.

This repo makes use of apt-vim to install packages

• Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04

Installation

Option 1 - Automatic

Execute:

  • If no Powerline fonts are available, try to manually install fonts from your user's .fonts directory i.e.~/.fonts folder if
• (Optional) If using Vdebug (included) and debugging on a virtual machine, you'll need to fill out the path_maps section of Vdebug in your .vimrc (/home/your_username/.vimrc)
  • Maps should be in the form of (using vagrant VM as an example): '/home/vagrant/guest/path/to/your/dir': '/home/your_username/host/path/to/your/dir'
