README 

        
This project is my vim setup. It's intended to work on a Linux box with a vim

compiled with `+python`, though it should load just fine even otherwise, only

with less features.



To try it out, backup your `.vimrc` and your `.vim` directory and checkout this

repository as `~/.vim` and checkout all submodules:



    git clone https://github.com/AndrewRadev/Vimfiles.git ~/.vim

    cd ~/.vim

    git submodule init

    git submodule update



Occasionally, I remap built-in mappings, so use with caution, and preferably

read "[startup/mappings.vim][]" beforehand to avoid nasty surprises.



Alternatively, you can read and selectively pick stuff for your own

configuration, which I highly recommend. A short guide to where you can find

most of my customizations follows below. If you're interested in vim plugins

I've published, you can find a list on my

[vim.org profile page](http://www.vim.org/account/profile.php?user_id=31799).



## Startup



The "[startup][]" directory is basically my `.vimrc`, except separated into

mappings, settings and so on. The borders between a few things are blurry,

though. The reason they're not in `plugin` is because it's necessary to either

load them very early or load them in a specific order. Or, they just haven't

made sense to me as "plugins".



## Miniplugins



The "[miniplugins][]" directory contains small scripts that I don't consider good

plugin material, but are useful anyway.



## WIP



The "[wip][]" directory contains stuff that I'm currently working on. These

are probably incomplete experiments that I can't build plugins from just yet.

Note that I have a rather loose definition of "currently".



## Projects



The "[projects][]" directory holds "project" files. I use this in combination

with the [proj plugin][] to load some project-specific settings depending on

what I'm working on right now.



## Nerdtree plugins



The "[nerdtree_plugin][]" directory is not the stock one that comes with the

NERDTree plugin. It contains a few of my own scripts, although I've moved most

of the interesting ones to a separate plugin called [Andrew's

NERDTree](https://github.com/AndrewRadev/andrews_nerdtree.vim).



## Filetype-specific stuff



A lot of interesting things can be found in the "[ftplugin][]" directory. I

occasionally build useful stuff for filetypes I use often. These are probably

not very generic or redistributable, which is why I tend to put them there.



## Party tricks



- You can view the contents of various kinds of binary files directly with Vim,

  thanks to Tim Pope's [afterimage plugin][] and the [JavaDecompiler plugin][].

  This includes:



  * PNG and GIF images. For best results, open in a GUI instance of Vim.

    Requires `imagemagick`.

  * Word documents. Requires `antiword`.

  * PDFs. Requires `pdftk`.

  * Java `.class` files. Requires `jad`.

- You can start an ASCII nyan cat in a new tab with the `:Nyancat` and

  `:Nyancat2` commands, courtesy of the [nyancat plugin][]

- You can turn any text into ASCII art by marking it in visual mode and

  executing `:Figlet`, implemented by the [figlet plugin][]. Requires the

  `figlet` command.

- A plugin I made for April Fools:

  * `:IsEven ` tells you if a number is even or not by making an API

    call to .



## Other



- The file "[autoload/lib.vim][]" contains (mostly) general-purpose functions

  I've felt could be useful in various places.

- The file "[colors/andrew.vim][]" is my personal colorscheme, which is a

  modified elflord.

- The "[after][]" directory may contain some interesting things that had to be

  placed there for late loading.
