# VIM

## Setup

### 1. Install [`neovim`](https://github.com/neovim/neovim)

```bash

brew install neovim

pip install pynvim

npm install -g neovim

```

### 2. Alias `vim` and `vi` to `nvim`

```bash

# Add these lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

alias vi="nvim"

alias vim="nvim"

```

### 3. Symlink `~/.vim/init.vim` to `~/.vimrc`

```bash

ln -s ~/.vimrc ~/.vim/init.vim

```

### 4. Start modifying your `~/.vimrc`

A few of my preferred settings 

```vim

" Remap leader key

let mapleader = "\"

" jj and jk to escape

inoremap jj 

inoremap jk 

" Ctrl+C to yank to clipboard

vnoremap  "*y

" Always use spaces

set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 expandtab

" Color Scheme

syntax on

set termguicolors

" Always use line numbers

set number

" Spellcheck

set spell spelllang=en_us

```

### 5. Install Plugins via [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) 

First install `vim-plug`

```bash

sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \

       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'

```

Then to start off, add the following to the top of your `~/.vimrc`

```vim

call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'

Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'

Plug 'tpope/vim-eunuch'

Plug 'scrooloose/syntastic'

Plug 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'

Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline'

Plug 'sheerun/vim-polyglot'

Plug 'tpope/vim-repeat'

" File Finder

" PlugInstall and PlugUpdate will clone fzf in ~/.fzf and run the install script

Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' } | Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'

Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }

Plug 'Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }

"" Initialize plugin system

call plug#end()

```

and run `:PlugInstall`
