Terminal, Vim, Tmux and SecureCrt for Ubuntu

Configuration for Gnome Terminal

0. Install Colors and Dircolors following Anthony25/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.

   $ sudo apt-get install dconf-cli
   $ git clone https://github.com/Anthony25/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git
   $ cd gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
   $ ./install.sh
   

1. After installation, add the following codes in .bashrc

   if [ -f ~/.dir_colors/dircolors ]
       then eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors/dircolors`
   fi
   

• If you cannot install Dircolors in server, a quick solution is to add
  LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=0;35:' ; export LS_COLORS in .bashrc

Configuration for Vim

0. Install Vundle to manage the plug-ins

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

1. Copy vimrc to ~/.vimrc

   # Please remember to backup your own `.vimrc` before overwrite it.
   cd ~/VIM_TMUX
   cp vimrc ~/.vimrc
   

2. Install the plugins

   vim ~/.vimrc
   :PluginInstall
   

3. Add the following code in .vimrc to correctly display color in Gnome Terminal Vim (already done for you)

   let g:solarized_termcolors=16 
   set t_Co=16  
   set background=dark
   let g:solarized_visibility = "high"
   let g:solarized_contrast = "high"
   colorscheme solarized
   

Now, you can use Vim to edit edit your files with Solarized Color scheme. However, the color does not display correctly when you run Vim inside Tmux.

Configuration for Tmux

0. Copy tmux.conf to ~/.tmux.conf
1. Add export TERM='screen-256color in .bashrc
2. Add source .bashrc in .bash_profile (Tmux source .bash_profile when starting up)

Configuration for SecureCrt

0. Install SecureCrt
1. Set Terminal Emulation: in Options -> Global Options -> Default Session -> Edit Default Settings -> Terminal -> Emulation, choose Xterm and ANSI Color under Emulation options.
2. Set color scheme to solarized dark: open file ~/.vandyke/SecureCRT/Config/Global.ini and replace the corresponding code patch with the following:

   B:"ANSI Color RGB"=00000040
    07 36 42 00 dc 32 2f 00 85 99 00 00 b5 89 00 00 26 8b d2 00 d3 36 82 00 2a a1 98 00 ee e8 d5 00
    00 2b 38 00 cb 4b 16 00 58 6e 75 00 65 7b 83 00 83 94 96 00 6c 71 c4 00 93 a1 a1 00 fd f6 e3 00

   After installation, open ~/.zshrc and set ZSH_THEME="af-magic".
3. Install Powerline fonts (Meslo Font)

   • Set this font in iTerm2 (15px is okay) : (iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Text -> Change Font)
4. Set Terminal Emulation: in Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal, under "Terminal Emulation" you have "Report Terminal Type:" set to xterm-256color.
5. Restart iTerm2 for all changes to take effect.

Some Notes on the Plug-ins of Vim

0. The NERD tree : A tree explorer plugin for navigating the filesystem.
   The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform simple filesystem operations.

   # We use <F3> to toggle the tree explorer
   nmap <F3> :NERDTreeToggle<cr>
   

1. Tagbar : Display tags of the current file ordered by scope
   Tagbar is a Vim plugin that provides an easy way to browse the tags of the current file and get an overview of its structure. It does this by creating a sidebar that displays the ctags-generated tags of the current file, ordered by their scope. This means that for example methods in C++ are displayed under the class they are defined in.

   # We use <F4> to toggle the tree explorer
   nmap <F4> :TagbarToggle<CR>
   

2. The CtrlP Plugin
   Full path fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, ... finder for Vim. You can run the follow command to invoke it

   <ctrl>+p
   

3. The Vim-fugitive Plugin
   fugitive.vim may very well be the best Git wrapper of all time.

4. The SnipMate Plugin
   SnipMate aims to provide support for textual snippets, similar to TextMate or other Vim plugins like UltiSnips. To install SnipMat plugin, you have to install some dependence

   " Plugin for snipmate
   Plugin 'MarcWeber/vim-addon-mw-utils'
   Plugin 'tomtom/tlib_vim'
   Plugin 'garbas/vim-snipmate'
   Plugin 'honza/vim-snippets' " Optional
   

Hope you enjoy programming with Vim and Tmux.
