Pro Vim dotfiles

Example configuration for Vim, NeoVim and other associated utilities for Про Vim article series

Prerequisites

Minimal environment for core configs:

• POSIX OS and shell
• Terminal emulator
• Vim >= 8

Standard environment for configs to work as expected:

• Linux with bash/zsh default shell
• High color teminal emulator
• Vim >=8.2 (+keymap, +clipboard, +mouse, +syntax, +wildmenu, ...)
• NeoVim >= 8.1 LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
• Git
• Python3 >= 3.10.6 (pip, pynvim...)
• Node.js >= 18.12.1 (npm, yarn...)
• fzf >= 0.29
• etc.

Installation

Just copy selected lines in your own config or fork all configs to your GitHub profile and clone it to your linux home dir and run vim.

Vim

Main configuration in .vimrc keeps general defaults no matter the other environment. A properly installed Vim higher than v8 with standard option set should support all configuration options.

Optional configuration which depend on other plugins and third party software reside in .vim/ directory. It is essentialy safe not to use it at all on limited environments.

Plugins

To enable plugins download "vim-plug" once and restart vim

$ curl -fLo ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/data/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Run :PlugInstall from Vim command line

NeoVim

NeoVim should also fully support .vimrc commands unless Lua configuration is explicitly enabled.

Bash

A standard .bashrc just as an example of how to add some useful system aliases and params to your Vim environment

Zsh

TODO: Add zsh minimal config

Git

An example of how to use git on a home directory to syncronize your environment configurations between your accounts. Main trick is to put a star * in first line of .gitignore file to get explicite control on what to sync.
