Console VIM and Tmux setup compatible with Mac OS X and Linux.

Cheat Sheet

See the included documentation in the cheat_sheet.md file.

Installation

Install by running the following command in your terminal:

exec 3<&1;bash <&3 <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/headwayio/vim-tmux-setup/master/vim.sh 2> /dev/null)

The bash redirects allow this script to prompt for user input including preserving an existing ~/.vim directory by appending "-bak" to any files/directories that are written, overwriting an existing setup destructively or skipping any of the configurations individually, or choosing r to keep a ~/.vimrc_main file sync'd across multiple machines. Here's how it would look:

***** Note: You already have a Vim configuration...
Would you like to (b)ack it up, (o)verwrite it, (r)efresh ~/.vimrc_main, or (s)kip Vim setup (B/o/r/s)?

Typing r and pressing return then outputs this message:

Refreshing ~/.vimrc_main and leaving the rest of your Vim setup untouched.

Prerequisites:

Required:

Customizations To The Defaults

Tmux:

• Tmux prefix re-mapped from ctrl-b to ctrl-a
  • I also recommend re-mapping your caps lock Key to control.
• Provides an optional tmuxinator Rails dev YAML setup file

Vim:

• ~/.vimrc loads:
  • Plugins through vim-plug
  • Sources ~/.vimrc_main which holds the actual Vim config
  • Allow user customizations through ~/.vimrc_custom
• <leader> re-mapped to ,
• Navigate between splits with just ctrl + movement (h, j, k, or l)
• Resizing splits vertically with _/+ and horizontally with option -/=
• Save files with SS. If you need to type actual SS, toggle paste in insert mode with F2
