## Update!

I recently removed and reorganized redundant settings and plugins, and put it on another repository https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim2



## Intro

My personal Vim configurations and some plugins which I used in my daily job.



I put Vim related settings in `plugin/settings/Settings.vim`, and isolate other plugins' settings in `plugin/settings` directory.



You may notice that there are several vimrc files:



1. `vimrc`, standard version vimrc.



2. `easy-vimrc`, same as vimrc, but add some easier key mapping for new Vimer.



3. `pro-vimrc`, same as vimrc, but remove the arrow keys mapping.



4. `experimental-vimrc`, same as pro-vimrc, but just for experimental purpose.



you can link your `~/.vimrc` to any one of them as you wish :)



It's how my Vim looks now:

and Here are some screenshots on the other platforms.



## Usage



### Installation and Requisites:



#### Automatic installer... (DO YOU TRUST ME?)



If you already install `git` in your machine, and you trust me and my automatic install shell script, you can install my vimrc via `curl` or `wget`, just copy one of the following line and paste in terminal:



1. via `curl`:



`sh <(curl -L https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim/raw/master/utils/install.sh)`



2. or via `wget`:



`sh <(wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim/raw/master/utils/install.sh -O -)`



#### Manual installation



1. BACKUP your `.vim` directory and `.vimrc` first.(IMPORTANT!)



2. `cd ~` to change directory to your home directory.



3. copy files to your home directory:



        git clone git://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim.git



4. cd to `eddie-vim` directory and execute the `update.sh` to get latest version modules:



        cd eddie-vim

        ./update.sh



5. make a symbolic link `.vim` to `eddie-vim` that you just cloned, or just rename it to `.vim` also be fine:



        ln -s eddie-vim .vim



6. link the vimrc to



        ln -s .vim/vimrc .vimrc



7. if you're still not familiar with the movement in vim by HJKL or yanking and pasting text, I've made a easier version:



        ln -s .vim/easy-vimrc .vimrc



8. if you use GUI version VIM, such as MacVim or GVim, you can also link to `.gvimrc`:



        ln -s eddie-vim/gvimrc .gvimrc



9. if you use Airline under Ubuntu or something which can not show the correct icons/fonts on the bottom, you can check [this link](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts), patch the font and it should look pretty nice.



10. you may need to install `ack` or `silver searcher` first if you use `ack.vim`.



### Update:



change directory to `~/.vim` and execute `./update.sh` script, it should do all the updates automatically.



### Features and Key Mappings:



1. Resize splited windows automatically, so that you  get a bigger editing room if you're working with a smaller screen. (stole from [Gary Bernhardt](https://github.com/garybernhardt))



2. Toggle between working mode and presentation mode by `z`, but only work in GUI version Vim. You can check [here](http://blog.eddie.com.tw/2012/03/14/switch-to-presentation-mode/) to see how it looks like. (stole from [Mike Skalnik](https://github.com/skalnik))



3. some usually used key mappings in normal mode:



    a. `` to toggle NERDTree on and off.



    b. `` to search Buffer with CtrlP plugin.



    c. `` to toggle Taglist window.



    d. `` is the script runner, according to it's filetype, it will run Ruby(*.rb) ,Python(*.py) or Javascript(*.js) file(SpiderMonkey is needed), even CoffeeScript(*.coffee, but you may have to install CoffeeScript first). If the filetype is VimScript, `` will run `:source %` for you.



    e. `` to switch to previous tab, and `` to the next tab.



    f. hit `p` will launch a quick window to match keywords from your current working directory, not only file name, but also path name. And `w u` will match from your MRU(Mostly Recent Used) files, which is also frequently used.



    g. hit `` twice to toggle comment on and off.



    h. `` and `` to increase and decrease the syntax identation.



    i. `v` to open `.vimrc` in a new tab.



    j. `0` to edit or create `README.md` in current working directory.



4. Remove tailing whitespace automatically while saving.



## FAQ



if you can not found `ctags` command, just find your ctags path and replace my settings in `plugin/settings/Ctags.vim` file:



    let Tlist_Ctags_Cmd = '/your/path/to/ctags'



and [Exuberant Ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/) is recommended.
