README

        

These are my VIM settings, mostly targeting development with C, C++ and Python.

I wrote a blog post about them [here](https://www.thanassis.space/myvim.html).

Here is a [Vimeo-hosted video](http://vimeo.com/37875339) showing some of

the things I can do when I work in C or C++.

I use a small number of plugins, and did some minor customization for

keyboard shortcuts. The plugins are maintained with pathogen, and

are placed under bundle/ via Git submodules (so I always have the latest

plugin versions).

Installation

-------------

In any new machine/account I need to work on, I clone from the repository:

    cd

    git clone https://github.com/ttsiodras/dotvim .vim

    cd .vim

    git submodule init

    git submodule update

    cd ..

    ln -s .vim/.vimrc

I therefore use the same VIM environment in all my machines.

For C/C++ development

---------------------

I first create /usr/include/tags:

    (become root via su/sudo)

    cd /usr/include

    ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q .

My .vimrc is set to use these, as well as any local "tags" I build

in my project-specific Makefiles:

    set tags+=/usr/include/tags

I use [clang complete](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3302)

  to get Intellisense-like autocompletion (see an example session recorded

in this [Vimeo-hosted video](http://vimeo.com/37875339)).

The 'A' plugin allows me to quickly switch between .h/c{c,pp} with ':A'

Pressing 'K' shows manpages on the symbol under the cursor in an "inner window"

(which allows me to copy/paste).

I then quickly close the manpage "window" with Ctrl-F12.

F8 shows taglists (macros/types/variables/functions/classes).

For Python development

----------------------

F7 is mapped to invoke flake8 (install it with: "pip install flake8") to get

static analysis error reports from "pyflakes" and style issues from "pep8",

navigating from error to error in the usual way (":cn", ":cp") - which is

mapped to F4.

I've also added a "screen" based SLIME-like environment. Here's a

[demonstration of the process on Vimeo](http://www.vimeo.com/37894593).

Basically, spawn a screen session via...

    screen -c python.screenrc

(or "python.screenrc.for.ArchLinux" if your screen doesn't support the

"split -v" command) and you will get two screen windows: one with a VIM,

one with a python instance. Navigate to whatever function/class you want

in VIM, and hit Ctrl-c Ctrl-c (i.e. Ctrl-c twice). This will send

the function/class to the running python instance.

You can then switch between VIM and python 'windows' via Alt-1,

and abort it all via Alt-0.

For XML

-------

F7 is mapped to SAXCount (the Xerces XML validator) and F4 navigates

from each error (reported by SAXCount) to the next.

Here's a [blog post](https://www.thanassis.space/regexp.html) I wrote about using these.

Generic stuff

-------------

I've mapped:

- NERDTreeToggle to F10, for direct access to "file manager" interface

- TAB and Shift-TAB (in normal mode) cycle buffers

- Ctrl-cursors to navigate windows (or create them, if missing)

- Ctrl-L to clear search results (hate seeing yellow stuff after search)

- Ctrl-F12 to quickly close "window" (buffer)

- I've also installed the easymotion plugin, so I can navigate to any place in the screen

  with a simple \\\\w followed by a character. Amazing plugin.

Am I insane to use VIM?

-----------------------

[No,](http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html) I am [not](https://www.thanassis.space/myvim.html).

How to add more plugins?

------------------------

Just...

    git submodule add https://.... bundle/something

How to uninstall a plugin?

--------------------------

Just...

    git submodule deinit bundle/something

    git rm bundle/something

    git rm --cached bundle/something

    rm -rf .git/modules/bundle/something
