Quickstart

User Custom

User custom folder ~/.thinkvim.d,notice the folder must be in your root path ~,in this folder you should touch two files plugins.yaml and custom.vim

Install plugins

I suggest that most of plugins should lazyload by dein ,There has two ways to install plugins.

• if you are a vim begginer or you want to follow master branch,you should use plugins.yaml. like you want use choosewin plugin,you can installed it in plugins.yaml(notice thinkvim has installed ,just for example)

- repo: t9md/vim-choosewin
  on_map: { n: <Plug> }
  hook_source: source  $VIM_PATH/core/layers/tools/choosewin/config.vim

• repo means github repo
• on_map is a dein lazyload feature,that mean the plugin will loading when you trigger on_map key,
• hook_source is executed before plugins are sourced

Dein is hard to use for some vim begginers，you can check the core/dein/plugins.yaml for use. more useage about Dein.

• if you have vimscript skill and not a vim beginner, want change this config to your own config ,you can edit the core/dein/plugins.yaml.

the keymap of plugins you should config it in custom.vim,th same as installed plugins,if you want follow master branch use custom.vim,if you want change to your own config you can edit the core/plugins/allkey.vim.

example:

if dein#tap('vim-choosewin')
	nmap -         <Plug>(choosewin)
	nmap <Leader>- :<C-u>ChooseWinSwapStay<CR>
endif

• If you want to disable some of the plugins I use, you can overwrite them, e.g.:

- { repo: tryu/caw.vim, if: 0 }

• Your plugin shortcuts should also be based on this format. used if dein#tap('pluginname')
• Notice ‼️ the lazyload feature of dein will not loading the default config of plugins, so you should config the keymap of lazyload plugins

register the custom keymap to whichkey, there are two settings map.

let g:which_key_map   for leaderkey
let g:which_key_localmap  for localkey

example:

if dein#tap('defx.nvim')
         nnoremap <silent> <Leader>F
                \ :<C-u>Defx -search=`expand('%:p')` `getcwd()`<CR>
endif
let g:which_key_map.F='test'

• if you edit the plugins.yaml ,it doesn't work. you can try to recache the cache. use this function call dein#recache_runtimepath()
• you can check my .thinkvim.d for more usage.

change colorscheme

• ThinkVim provide a easy way to change colorscheme, use this keymap Leader+tc then thinkvim will write the colorscheme that your choose into cache file,ThinkVim will read this file to load colorscheme when next startup

• Add your favorite coloscheme file into colors folder

Spaceline

check out the spaceline config

Startify

• Custom Startify Header And Footer

this is an example to config straify header and footer on your custom.vim.

let s:header = [
      \ '       o',
      \ '        o   ^__^',
      \ '         o  (oo)\_______',
      \ '            (__)\       )\/\',
      \ '                ||----w |',
      \ '                ||     ||',
      \ ]
let s:footer = [
      \ ' [ test custom footer]',
      \ '',
      \ ]

let g:startify_custom_header = Thinkvim_startify_center(s:header)
let g:startify_custom_header = Thinkvim_startify_center(s:footer)

• set this variable value let g:startify_padding_left(number) to make startify mid area center.

Completion

Completion use LanguageServerProtocol by coc.nvim,thinkvim will generate a coc-settings.json file by .example.json.These files thinkvim is out of the box. Html,Css,Json,Yaml,Javascript,Typescript,Go,Python,Rust

• Python
  • thinkvim used Mpls.it will auto install mpls,if you want use the jedi for python completion change the python.jediEnable to true which in coc-settings.json
• Go

go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest

• Rust

  • Install rust-analyzer

• Other language support,Please check wiki of coc for help.
