Intro

The purpose of this project is to not only provide an IDE-like vimrc, but also to teach you how it is constructed. It is made from the ground up from the vanilla Vim with the help of plugins and .vimrc configurations.

Dependencies

• Vim 8+ upto latest (Tested and also works on vim 7)
• vimplug (Will be installed automatically as of version 2. Unix and Linux Only! for windows you must use the windows curl command of vimplug)
• nodejs and npm (For coc completion)
• FZF
• Figlet & boxes (For the start menu ascii art)

Some of the features

• Out of the box plugin installation
  
• Tab Completion and snippets for fast coding
  
• Easy tab and split navigation
  
• Start Screen with bookmarks and file history
  
• Beautiful built in base16 colorschemes
• Nerdtree-like configuration of Netrw
  
• Customized Lighline statusline
  
• Customizability! It is lightweight and extensible without having to learn a whole new software or language
  

Usage / Installation

On Arch Linux and other derivatives use the provided installation script, otherwise continue manually

Windows users must delete the statement that auto installs vimplug at the beggining of the vimrc and proceed with the manual installation of vimplug, then launch vim with the new vimrc so that the plugins can be installed. Naturally you must use another editor to alter the vimrc.

• As of version 2, once you start vim with my .vimrc. vimplug and plugins will be installed automatically. Don't panic and let it work
  

• Refer to the release page for easy download. Remember to rename the file to .vimrc
  

• Place the .vimrc file in your home directory
  

• You can rename your already existing .vimrc or move it to another directory. this way; you can always bring it back if you dont like Wim
  

• Place the roman.flf font in /usr/share/figlet/fonts/
  

• Install boxes from repositories or compile it.

• Refer to the list of autocompletion languages and add the ones you'd like with

• :CocInstall
  

  • Example: :CocInstall coc-css
    

• :CocInstall coc-explorer for using the coc-explorer file manager instead of netrw

  • to start netrw :Vexplore

• Once the downloads are finished you can start using Vim normally
  

• Leader key is naturally space
  

• Refer to the table below for a list of key bindings
  

Optional Dependencies

• Ranger. See mine
  
• Vifm
  

Notice

• It was tested on multiple devices and distros with Vim from the terminal on linux and Gvim on Arch and Windows and it works perfectly. If anyone happens to use this on OSX please provide me with your feedback.
  
• Please keep in mind that in case your terminal emulator takes charge of some of your keys, its up to you to figure it out. Some terminals do hold unto your Ctrl or Alt or shift key for their own functions
• You can review the list of plugins and comment out or delete the lines about the ones you dont want. This must be done before running :PlugInstall
  • If you want to delete any plugins later, delete the lines about them and run: :PlugClean

Coc tab completion set up

• Open your CocConfig by typing :CocConfig into vim's command mode
• add the following lines to improve Coc's Tab behavior

{
     "suggest.noselect": true
}

:wq to save and quit
