Installation

The script setup.sh should be enough to make symbolic links and install required dependencies. However, some dependencies should be manually installed. Make sure you have installed: curl, npm, git, bundler, exuberant-ctags. It is tested in both linux(Ubuntu 12.10, 13.04) and OSX(Lion and Mountain Lion).

Plugins

The most important plugins I use are:

• [NeoBundle] - package manager based on Vundle but way better in features and support.
• unimpaired.vim - many useful mappings for back and forth operations
• surround.vim - modify surrounding delimiters with a single keystroke
• repeat.vim - add repeat funcionality with . command for many of Tim Pope's plugins
• dispatch.vim - from within vim, run many shell commands with assynchronous support
• endwise.vim - closes blocks like if, for automagically
• abolish.vim - abolish typos with a smart abbreviation schema and some other cool features
• vim-css-color - highlight colors written in css files
• NerdCommenter - easily comment and uncomment lines, blocks, etc.
• ctrlp.vim - fucking killer command to open files
• ctrlp-modified.vim - ctrlp.vim extension to open files modified since last commit and since branch creation
• Tagbar - adds a nice bar based on the tags for the current file.
• vim-snippets - snippets repository for many languages for both [Snipmate], UltiSnip Snippets and [NeoSnippet]. Currently, I help maintaining Ruby and Elixir snippets.
• [NeoSnippet] - snippets engine
• delimitMate - auto close of (), [], {}
• vim-powerline - beatiful and useful status line. It's going to be deprecated in favor of a new version. I'm sticking to the old one until that.

• gundo.vim - fucking awesome way to not loose nothing while undoing things
• Syntastic - syntactic rules for many languages

Organization

This repository is organized in such a way to avoid what I call .vimrc hell. I created it based on a friend's vim files.

General settings

All editor settings are place in conf directory. General settings are placed in conf/autocmd.vim and conf/defaults.vim. Shortcuts that are plugin independent are placed in conf/shortcuts.vim file.

Plugin settings

Each plugin has its entry in conf/bundles.vim file. This file is going to be used by [NeoBundle] install/enable the plugins. Plugins that need custom settings have a file with its name in plugin directory. All shortcuts plugins, plugin variables will be placed there. Vim automatically loads all these files when it is starting up.
