This is my shell script to install vim and other packages so that I can use vim as my Python3 and C development environment.
###This version of the install script is for Debian / Ubuntu. Gentoo install script can be found here: https://github.com/mhartzel/vim_python3_ide_installer-gentoo
This program will do the following things:
- Uninstall previous vim packages and old vim configuration.
- Download latest vim source from git repository. Compile and install a new vim with Python3 support.
- Download and install 256 color capable urxvt terminal emulator and set it up to use clipboard and the Terminus font. Urxvt is the fastest terminal I found and it supports unicode characters and tabs. Terminus font makes code easier to read.
- Install vim plugins Pathogen and Tagbar to make vim an IDE.
- Install Syntastic and Pyflakes.
- Install Supertab and Pydoc.
- Install C language reference documents.
- Remove most color schemes that come with vim, leaving only: default, desert, murphy and slate.
- Install 256 color vim colorschemes: desert256, distinguished, jellybeans, aldmeris (based on oblivion colorscheme for Gedit).
- All colorschemes are modified to show the current line as a 1 pixel underline.
- Aldmeris default color for statements (white) is the same as for the rest of text. Statements should stand out, so the color is changed to green.
- Colorscheme desert256 is set as the default colorscheme.
After installation you have:
- A 256 color and UTF-8 capable terminal emulator urxvt.
- Basic copy / paste functionality between urxvt and other programs.
- Python3 syntax checking (every time you save).
- Python3 syntax highlighting.
- Python3 documentation for the keyword under cursor opens with leader + pw ( \pw NOTE second character must be pressed within 1 second ).
- C syntax checking (every time you save)
- C syntax highlighting.
- C reference documentation for the keyword under cursor opens with leader + cr ( \cr NOTE second character must be pressed within 1 second ).
- The current line is underlined with a single pixel white line (all colorschemes).
- F2 - turns on/off line numbers.
- F3 - turns on/off ident guidelines
- F4 - turns on/off line wrapping
- F5 - turns on/off automatic identation (needs to be turned off when pasting text into vim).
- F6 - jump to next window
- F8 - turns on/off Tagbar.
- Tagbar shows your function names and variables in a small window on the right side of vim display.
- Tagbar also shows you the 'scope' meaning it highlights the function name the current code line belongs to.
- Pressing enter in Tagbar window on a function name makes the main window jump to that function.
- Matching brackets are automatically highlighted.
- Search results are highlighted.
- Case is ignored in search.
- Vim remembers the code line that you were in last time the file was open.
- '' is mapped to `` meaning that the command '' returns to the line and character you were on before a jump in the text.
- Backspace configured to work like it should.
After installation fire up urxvt and start vim in it :)
- Copy paste in urxvt works like this: text highlighted in urxvt is immediately copied to clipboard when you release the mouse button. Paste with: shift + ctrl +v.
- Copy / paste works between most graphical programs and urxvt, but with for example Gmail it does not work. You can overcome this by installing the small and lightweight clipboard manager: parcellite. As a bonus it remembers your previous clipboard texts also :)
