SpaceVim is a distribution of the vim editor that's inspired by spacemacs. It manages collections of plugins in layers, which help collect related packages together to provide features. This approach helps keep configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by keeping them from having to think about what packages to install.

See the quick start guide, documentation or the available layers for more information.

Features

Fly Grep in Vim

With this feature, vim will display the searching result as you type. Of course, it is running asynchronously. Before using this feature, you need to install a searching tool. FlyGrep works through search tools: ag, rg, ack, pt and grep, Choose one you like.

Mnemonic key bindings navigation

You don't need to remember any key bindings, as the mapping guide will show up after the SPC is pressed. The mapping guide is also available for g, z, s, f and F.

Help description for key bindings
