# The Ultimate vimrc
Over the last 8 years I have used and tweaked Vim. This is my Ultimate vimrc.
There are two versions:
* **Basic**: If you want something small just copy [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim) into your ~/.vimrc and you will have a great basic setup
* **Awesome**: This includes a ton of useful plugins, color schemes and configurations
I would of course recommend using the awesome version.
## How to install the Basic version?
The basic version is basically just one file and no plugins. You can check out [basic.vim](https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/basic.vim).
This is useful to install on remote servers where you don't need many plugins and you don't do many edits.
git clone git://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_basic_vimrc.sh
## How to install the Awesome version?
The awesome version includes a lot of great plugins, configurations and color schemes that make Vim a lot better. To install it simply do following:
git clone git://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh
I also recommend using [Source Code Pro font from Adobe](http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayFontPackage&code=1960) (it's free and awesome font for writing and programming). The Awesome vimrc is already setup to try to use it
## How to install on Windows?
Use [msysgit](http://msysgit.github.com/) to checkout the repository and run the installation instructions above. No special instructions needed ;-)
## How to update to latest version?
Simply just do a git rebase!
cd ~/.vim_runtime
git pull --rebase
## Some screenshots
Colors when editing a Python file:
Opening recently opened files [mru.vim](https://github.com/vim-scripts/mru.vim):
[NERD Tree](https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree) plugin in a terminal window:
This vimrc even works on Windows!
Distraction free mode (using goyo.vim and vim-zenroom2):
## Included Plugins
I recommend reading the docs of these plugins to understand them better. Each of them provide a much better Vim experience!
* [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen): Manages the runtime path of the plugins
* [YankRing](https://github.com/vim-scripts/YankRing.vim): Maintains a history of previous yanks, changes and deletes

## How to include your own stuff?
After you have installed the setup you can create **~/.vim_runtime/my_configs.vim** to fill in any configurations that are important for you. For instance, my **my_configs.vim** looks like this:
~/.vim_runtime (master)> cat my_configs.vim
map ct :cd ~/Desktop/Todoist/todoist
map cw :cd ~/Desktop/Wedoist/wedoist
You can also install your own plugins, for instance, via pathogen we can install [vim-rails](https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails):
cd ~/.vim_runtime
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-rails.git sources_non_forked/vim-rails
Now you have vim-rails installed ;-)
## Key Mappings
### Plugin related mappings
Open [bufexplorer](https://github.com/vim-scripts/bufexplorer.zip) and see and manage the current buffers:
map o :BufExplorer
Open [MRU.vim](https://github.com/vim-scripts/mru.vim) and see the recently open files:
map f :MRU
Open [ctrlp.vim](https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim) plugin:
let g:ctrlp_map = ''
Open [PeepOpen](https://peepcode.com/products/peepopen) plugin:
map j :PeepOpen
Managing the [NERD Tree](https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree) plugin:
map nn :NERDTreeToggle
map nb :NERDTreeFromBookmark
map nf :NERDTreeFind
[goyo.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim) and [vim-zenroom2](https://github.com/amix/vim-zenroom2) lets you only focus on one thing at a time. It removes all the distractions and centers the content. It has a special look when editing Markdown, reStructuredText and textfiles. It only has one mapping.
map z :Goyo
### Normal mode mappings
Fast saving of a buffer:
nmap w :w!
Treat long lines as break lines (useful when moving around in them):
map j gj
map k gk
Map `` to `/` (search) and `+` to `?` (backwards search):
map /
map ?
map :noh
Disable highlight when `` is pressed:
map :noh
Smart way to move between windows:
map j
map k
map h
map l
Closing of current buffer(s):
" Close current buffer
map bd :Bclose
" Close all buffers
map ba :1,1000 bd!
Useful mappings for managing tabs:
map tn :tabnew
map to :tabonly
map tc :tabclose
map tm :tabmove
" Opens a new tab with the current buffer's path
" Super useful when editing files in the same directory
map te :tabedit =expand("%:p:h")/
Switch CWD to the directory of the open buffer:
map cd :cd %:p:h:pwd
Open vimgrep and put the cursor in the right position:
map g :vimgrep // **/*.
Vimgreps in the current file:
map :vimgrep // %
Remove the Windows ^M - when the encodings gets messed up:
noremap m mmHmt:%s///ge'tzt'm
Quickly open a buffer for scripbble:
map q :e ~/buffer
Toggle paste mode on and off:
map pp :setlocal paste!
### Insert mode mappings
Quickly insert parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
inoremap $1 ()i
inoremap $2 []i
inoremap $3 {}i
inoremap $4 {o}O
inoremap $q ''i
inoremap $e ""i
inoremap $t <>i
Insert the current date and time (useful for timestamps):
iab xdate =strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S")
### Visual mode mappings
Visual mode pressing `*` or `#` searches for the current selection:
vnoremap * :call VisualSelection('f')
vnoremap # :call VisualSelection('b')
When you press gv you vimgrep after the selected text:
vnoremap gv :call VisualSelection('gv')
When you press `r` you can search and replace the selected text:
vnoremap r :call VisualSelection('replace')
Surround the visual selection in parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
vnoremap $1 `>a)`
vnoremap $2 `>a]`
vnoremap $3 `>a}`
vnoremap $$ `>a"`
vnoremap $q `>a'`
vnoremap $e `>a"`
### Command line mappings
$q is super useful when browsing on the command line. It deletes everything until the last slash:
cno $q eDeleteTillSlash()
Bash like keys for the command line:
cnoremap
cnoremap
cnoremap
cnoremap
cnoremap
Write the file as sudo (only on Unix). Super useful when you open a file and you don't have permissions to save your changes. [Vim tip](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Su-write):
:W
### Spell checking
Pressing `ss` will toggle and untoggle spell checking
map ss :setlocal spell!
Shortcuts using `` instead of special chars
map sn ]s
map sp [s
map sa zg
map s? z=
### Cope
Do :help cope if you are unsure what cope is. It's super useful!
When you search with vimgrep, display your results in cope by doing:
`cc`
To go to the next search result do:
`n`
To go to the previous search results do:
`p`
Vimscript mappings:
map cc :botright cope
map co ggVGy:tabnew:set syntax=qfpgg
map n :cn
map p :cp
