Papystiopa's Vim Setup

derived (forked) from Adam Monsen meonkeys/dotvim

Adam's Vim Setup

My "dot vim" (~/.vim) dir.

Install

Here's how to install this Vim configuration. Assumes Bash shell and a POSIX operating system.

Replace existing Vim configuration

cd ~
mv .vim .vimrc /tmp
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc .vimrc

Install Adam's Vim Setup

git clone https://github.com/meonkeys/dotvim.git .vim
cd .vim

Install Vundle

Plugins are managed with Vundle. Install Vundle:

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

Install Plugins

Start Vim and run :PluginInstall. Done!

Plugins are enumerated in vimrc. See the vundle documentation in :help vundle or online for further instructions.

Misc Plugin Notes

Some plugins require extra setup. I use ubuntu-setup to get them working.

Airline

For GNU/Linux operating systems besides Ubuntu, follow the Fontconfig instructions here. General info about integrating vim-airline with fancy fonts here.

Tern

Tern provides some IDE-like features when editing JavaScript. Tern needs definitions of types for JavaScript libraries in use. For example, here's how I train Tern for Meteor projects.

cd ~/.vim/bundle/tern_for_vim/node_modules/tern/plugin/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Slava/tern-meteor/master/meteor.js
