Notes

• vimrc is commented; reading it is the best way to get a sense of what's added. In particular, the "Keybindings" sections might be useful.
• The line set gdefault makes search and replace global by default. This means that adding /g only replace the first instance on a line.
• For YCM, I had to run ./install.sh --clang-completer --system-libclang because of some issues with Arch. See ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#538 and ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#870 (comment)
• If you see weird symbols in your status line, you need a special font to render some unicode symbols. You can disable this by removing the line let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1 from the vimrc. vim-airline Has instructions for updating the font if you want to symbols. On my Linux box, I ran fc-match monospace to find which font I was using in my terminal, moved the relevant font from here to ~/.fonts, ran fc-cache -v ~/.fonts to update the font cache, and updated my KDE settings to use it.

.mine files

vimrc.mine and gvimrc.mine contain system-specific settings or other settings that should not be part of a general configuration. Thus, they are not tracked in the repo. They are included in your vimrc automatically. I have included some examples of what this might look like.

Compatability

Should work on Linux and Mac OS X. Untested on Windows.
