My .vim and vimrc setup.
cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/kirklewis/dotvim.git ~/.vim
Add a symbolic link to .vimrc so Vim can find it.
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
The vimrc file is structured as follows:
-
Tim Pope's Pathogen at the top to install plugins.
-
Default color scheme - Solarized
-
Settings and mappings (sourced) from settings.vim and mappings.vim respectively. Keeps the vimrc file shorter.
-
Auto commands at the bottom. File types are sourced from filetypes.vim
Just a few of many:
-
No swap files
*.swpor backup files generated. -
Visual block kept after indentation mappings.vim.
-
NERDTree shows hidden folders/files except
.gitand.DS_Store. -
Trailing spaces highlighted by default.
:StripWhiteSpace. -
