Lean mean Neo/vim machine, 30-45ms startup time.
Best with Neovim or Vim8 and python3 enabled.
I encourage you to fork this repo and create your own experience.
Learn how to tweak and change Neo/vim to the way YOU like it.
This is my cultivation of years of tweaking, use it as a git remote
and stay in-touch with upstream for reference or cherry-picking.

Python 3 (brew install python)
Neovim or Vim (brew install neovim and/or brew install vim)
1. ~/.config/nvim,
we'll also symlink it for regular Vim:
mkdir ~ /.config
git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:MewX/vim-config.git ~ /.config/nvim
cd ~ /.config/nvim
ln -s ~ /.config/nvim ~ /.vim # For "regular" Vim
Note :$XDG_CONFIG_HOME,
use that instead of ~/.config in the commands above.
Neovim follows the XDG base-directories convention, Vim doesn't.
2. pynvim library. This is also needed for Vim 8
if you want to use Denite and Defx.
Neovim: ./venvs.sh or pip3 install --user pynvim
Vim: pip3 install --user pynvim
3. make test to test your nvim/vim version and capabilities.
4. make to install all plugins.
5. nvim -c checkhealth
Test Python 3 availability with :py3 print(sys.version_info)
Enjoy! π
To leverage LSP auto-completions and other functionalities, once you open a
file in Neo/vim, run :LspInstallServer to use mattn/vim-lsp-settings
installation feature.
cd ~ /.config/nvim
make updateThis will run git pull --ff --ff-only and update all plugins using
Shougo/dein.vim package-manager (:call dein#update()).
On macOS with Homebrew, choose one of the Nerd Fonts ,
for example, to install the Hack font:

If you want to add your own configuration, create the config/local.vim file
and add your personal vimscript there. If you'd like to install plugins by
yourself, create a config/local.plugins.yaml file and manage your own plugin
collection.
If you want to disable some of the plugins I use, you can overwrite them, e.g.:
- { repo: dense-analysis/ale, if: 0 }
Plugin management with cache and lazy loading for speed
Auto-completion with Language-Server Protocol (LSP)
Project-aware tabs and labels
Defx as file-manager + Git status icons
Extensive language extensions library
Note that 95% of the plugins are lazy-loaded
