Vim Configuration

Depreciated in favor of nvimrc!

I've migrated this configuration to Neovim: rxrc/nvimrc.

If you are creating a new config, use makenew/nvimrc.

If you still need to make a legacy Vim config, the minimal branch remains a stable starting point.

My complete Vim configuration as a Vim plugin. For an empty starting config that follows the same organization, switch to the minimal branch.

Note that versioned released are cut from the minimal branch, and changes between those releases are documented in the CHANGELOG. The master branch represents my current Vim environment, and is intended to remain unversioned.

Description

This configuration system works as a meta-plugin: all desired Vim plugins are loaded from plugins.vim using vim-plug. Overall configuration then follows a normal plugin structure.

For documentation of the methodology behind my specific Vim environment, including tips, usage, and a reference of custom mappings, see :help rxrc/vimrc or view vimrc.txt directly.

Installation

Required Packages

• The fzf binary (vim-plug is not configured to manage it here). Additionally, urxvt is configured as the fzf launcher for Gvim.
• The Silver Searcher, aka Ag.
• See vim-fireplace for the Clojure specific plugin dependences.

Required Fonts

This configuration uses Inconsolata-g, and vim-airline is set to use Powerline fonts.

Automatic Install

You can install this via the command-line with either curl

$ curl -L https://git.io/vJAzK | sh

or wget

$ wget https://git.io/vJAzK -O - | sh

Manual Install

1. Install vim-plug.
2. Create ~/.vimrc with

" rxrc/vimrc

" Disable powerline by default.
let g:powerline_loaded = 1

" Disable session autosave prompt.
let g:session_autosave = 'no'

" Skip initialization for vim-tiny or vim-small.
if !1 | finish | endif

call plug#begin($HOME . '/.vim/plugged')

if filereadable($HOME . '/.vim/plugged/vimrc/plugins.vim')
  source $HOME/.vim/plugged/vimrc/plugins.vim
  if $VIMRC_INSTALL == 'true'
    PlugInstall
  else
    Plug 'rxrc/vimrc'
  endif
else
  Plug 'rxrc/vimrc', { 'on': [] }
  PlugInstall
endif

call plug#end()

3. Run

$ vim -c qall!
$ VIMRC_INSTALL=true vim -c qall!

Updating

Updating is handled via the normal vim-plug commands.

Here is an example of a Zsh function that will provide a one-step update:

# Upgrade vimrc.
function vimupg () {
  if ! [[ -e $HOME/.vim/autoload/plug.vim ]]; then
    echo 'vim-plug is not installed.'
    return 1
  fi

  vim -c PlugUpgrade -c qall
  vim -c PlugUpdate -c qall
  vim -c PlugInstall -c qall
  vim -c PlugClean! -c qall
}

Customization

You can customize this configuration or manage your own in the same way.

1. Clone or fork this. If you prefer a clean start, clone the minimal branch: it has the same structure and development tools but with a very minimal configuration. Tagged releases are based on that branch.
2. Replace any instance of rxrc/vimrc with the path to your repository's location. If you do not host this on GitHub, you may need to adjust the repository path appropriately.
3. Customize package.json.
4. Update install.sh on the gh-pages branch.
5. Update the urls for the install script in this README.

Here is an example of a command you can use to make replacements:

$ git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/rxrc\/vimrc/username\/vimrc/g'

Development

You can use Gulp to switch to development mode which will configure vim-plug to use the development directory as the plugin path.

First, follow the normal install steps if you haven't already. Then, install the development dependences via npm with

$ npm install

Enter development mode with

$ npm start

If you modify plugins.vim, run npm run dev again to reconfigure the plugins.

Switch out of development mode with

$ npm stop
