Phil’s vimrc of a lifetime

Synopsis

I like to not configure my vim too much. That way it behaves like other people’s vim.

This vimrc has grown and shrunk since 2015. It has stabilised to a small vimrc that contains only the bare necessities

• Setting filetype-dependant tabs and indentation behavior
• Configure filetype-dependant hard-wrapping and soft-wrapping behavior
• plugins vim-markdown-folding, vim-orgmode, powerline
• Minor extras

After having shrunk, I did add some nice extras

Installation

git clone --recursive https://github.com/philippecarphin/dot-vim ~/.vim

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

If we forget the --recursive when we clone, we can run this later at any time.

git submodule update --init --recursive

Use

Just start vim.

Doc

The file vimconfig.org is the source of this vimrc.

It contains text describing the various options that I use.

The file doc/vimrc.revealjs.html is that same vimconfig.org file exported to a Reveal.js presentation using org-reveal.
