Refer to zhuochun/mac-keyboard and Ergodox-EZ layout (Mac/Win)

Vim

Both my Mac/Windows use similar key mappings. For muscle memories, <D-*> mappings on Mac are <M-*> mappings on Windows.

• Mac OS: Use vimrc with brew install neovim.
• Windows: Use windows/_vimrc (Not actively updated).

Follow Shougo/dein.vim or Shougo/dein-installer.vim to setup the plugin system.

sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shougo/dein-installer.vim/master/installer.sh)"

# it creates ~/.cache/dein directory

Setup vimrc files:

# neovim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/rc ~/.config/nvim/rc

# vim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/rc ~/.vim/rc
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

Open vim and install plugins: :call dein#install().
