README
**This Project is closed and not maintained anymore. I don't find any value in creating a Vim distribution any more. I believe using Vim with plugins and settings for your own need is much more scalable and better in long term. I will occasionally push changes when I have time but don't expect any maintenance or future contributions. Thanks everyone for using and supporting this project, feel free to fork and use it on your own.**

Customized to be awesome by default. It is improved to be used on Mac OS X and
MacVim. (note: Linux version is on the todo list, I'll work on it asap)
If used with [MacVim](https://code.google.com/p/macvim/) you will get
SublimeText-like features with the same shortcuts without installing or compiling any external library:
* `cmd + p` -> Goto Anything...
* `cmd + t` -> Goto File...
* `cmd + r` -> Goto Symbol on current file...
* `cmd + shift + r` -> Goto Symbol on all files...
* `cmd + d` -> Select words for multiple selection editing
* `cmd + k` -> Show side bar
* `cmd + /` -> Toggle comment
* `cmd + [` -> Indent
* `cmd + ]` -> Unindent
* `cmd + ` -> Jump to tab 1, tab 2, ...
* `cmd + alt + left` -> Move to next tab
* `cmd + alt + right` -> Move to previous tab
* `cmd + z` -> Undo
* `cmd + shift + z` -> Redo
* `cmd + n` -> New File
* `cmd + shift + n` -> New Window
* `cmd + s` -> Save File
* `cmd + w` -> Close File
* `cmd + f` -> Search and replace
* `ctrl + tab` -> Cycle through tabs
* `ctrl + shift + tab` -> Cycle through tabs (backwards)
Some more awesome features:
* SublimeText like colorscheme
* Multiple Selections/Cursor feature. Use `cmd+d` for selecting words, `cmd+u` for undo, `cmd+k` for skipping words and `esc` to quit the multi cursor mode.
* On the fly "Goto symbol, definition" feature.
[41](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/languages.html) languages, including Go, Rust,
Coffeescript, Objective-C and Markdown, are supported. No need to install external
plugins or binaries.
* Full featured autocompletion via YCM. No need to compile the YCM plugin,
subvim has already pre-compiled binaries included.
* Snippet system with over 40 languages and configurable
* Restore latest state (tab, files) when quitting and restarting again.
* Automatic closing of quotes, parenthesis, brackets and etc..
* ... many other fixes and improvements.
## Install & Update
Be sure you are using the latest **OS X 10.8** and **MacVim**. Currently only
these two options are supported. Just clone the repo and execute `make`:
git clone https://github.com/fatih/subvim.git
cd subvim
make
This will create symlinks from the `subvim` folder to `~/.vim`, `~/.vimrc`,
`~/.gvimrc` and `~/.ctags`. Thus you can put the `subvim` folder in your
favorite place.
And finally you can always update it easily with:
git pull origin master
make
## Uninstall
This will just remove the symlinks created previously:
cd subvim
make clean
## FAQ
### How do I add my own settings and plugins?
All custom settings are stored in the folder `vim/custom/`. You have to create
it for the first time.
* For *settings*, add your custom vimrc settings to the file `vim/custom/vimrc`
(or `vim/custom/gvimrc`). An example file might be:
```
" ~/.vim/custom/vimrc ...my own custom settings
let mapleader = ","
set indent
set tabstop=4
```
* For *plugins*, just clone your favorite plugin into `vim/custom/`.
Below is an example of installing [vim-fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive):
```
cd vim/custom
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git
```
That's it! `subvim` will automatically start your settings and plugins after you restart
vim again.
### There are million other vim distributions, why should I use subvim?
subvim tries to be simple as possible. Only plugins that are worth and are
accepted to be usable are integrated (like autocomplete, autosave sessions,
etc..). It means you just start subvim and benefit from all the features
explained above. There is no binary compiling or installing extra stuff. All
these are integrated.
subvim has some very nice shortcuts that gives you the same
experience as using SublimeText. These shortcuts do not interfere with any
default vim shortcuts. It's aimed for a full Mac OS X experience. I'm
thinking about making subvim Linux compatible (gvim) in the future.
There are:
* No custom shortcuts
* No leader keybindings that breaks your stuff
* No unnecessary plugins that makes your life harder than easier.
* No automatic downloading of integrated plugins. Because what works will
always works. You always will get the same experience. That means if an
integrated plugin is not superior, it will replaced by superior ones.
### What people say about subvim
* romainl: we don't like your project much but we provide help anyway. That's the vim spirit. (#vim on freenode)
* a friend: an awesome project, thank you!
* addy osmani: So hot. If you're a hardcore Vim user that's been tempted by Sublime, Subvim
gives you SublimeText-like features including shortcuts, color scheme, support
for 41 languages, state, autocompletion via YMC and more, Great work +Fatih
Arslan!
## Improvements (TODO)
* Add Linux-compatible option
* Autoload of vimrc settings (no need for restart anymore)
* Make it always as simple as possible without breaking any plugins. Users
should custoimize and add plugins theirself.
* Create a dedicated page to usage and shortcuts
## Credits
* All vim plugins authors. An extended list with authors and plugins will be created.
* romainl, osse, rking, etc.. on #vim - freenode
