vim-tweaks

My personal configuration tweaks for VIm editor

About

This plugin contains my custom tweaks on VIm configuration. I've put them in a separate git repository because I use Vundle in my .vimrc. I'm using iTerm2 on Mac, with a black theme (colors could be different in other consoles). I'm french so my shortcuts are for Mac azerty keyboards.

Main features

• Search for word(s) in a directory and to navigate into results
• Custom statusline with full filepath
• Allows to move the current line up / down
• When opening a file, the cursor goes where it was the last time
• Paste a text on another do not replace the clipboard
• Disable swap files (temporary files with tilde)
• Auto-remove trailing spaces when saving a file
• Force indentation with spaces (2), not tabulation
• the à key (french keyboards) works as 0 (begin of current line)
• Tabular plugin requires no parameters with my custom key mapping
• Syntastic plugin is set to show errors by default
• Allow to update your .vimrc by downloading a new one

Configuration

The following option are optional, if you want to change their values, put it in your .vimrc.

Prefilled URL for command UpdateVimrc

Curl is used to download the file, you will need to confirm the URL and the replacement. Default value:

let g:vim_tweaks__vimrc_url='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webastien/vim/master/.vimrc'

Altered filetypes

You can tell VIm to consider some files as a given filetype (:h filetype for more info). It's useful for syntax coloration and plugin based on filetypes. This plugin configure this filetypes alteration with a single dict variable. Keys are desired filetype, values are list of file pattern which will be associated with. Default value:

let g:vim_tweaks__filetypes = {
  \  'dosini': [ '*.info', '*.ini' ],
  \  'ruby':   [ 'Vagrantfile', 'Capfile' ],
  \  'sshconfig': [ '*/.ssh/config.d/*/config' ],
  \  'php':    [ '*.inc', '*.module', '*.theme', '*.install', '*.engine', '*.profile', '*.view', '*.test' ]
  \ }

Only applied if default autocommands have not been disabled.

Note:

• Those PHP filetypes work with Drupal
• This Ruby detection is useful when using Vagrant and Capistrano
• "sshconfig" detection is based on my SSH config organization.
