Roman- / vimrc

Experimental things I try out in my vimrc (which initially was for Qt Fakevim)

vimrc

Key principles

• These vimrc files are optimized for my keyboard layout. Although it's still qwerty (almost), it is very different form the vast majority of keyboard layouts in every aspect. E.g. Esc, Enter, Backspace, Arrows are pressed without moving your fingers out of the homerow. Please see rog-redblue-keyboard-layout
• There are multiple files that reference one another. common.vim is used in all programs that have vim-emulators (ideavim, qt fakevim, ...) including NVIM itself, hence, there are no plugins nor functions.
• Out of the box, VIM keybindings are mnemonic-driven: w for word, s for substitute etc. My vimrc tends to be efficiency-driven.
• There are four arrows: left, down, up, right. Meanwhile, on your right hand there are (hopfully) four fingers that are resting on the homerow: index, middle, ring and pinky. They are rested on these four keys: J, K, L, ;. Do you see where I'm going with that? jkl; is superior to hjkl.
• Repeatitive keypresses (yy, dd) are aweful. They're replaced with ds, ys.
• Optimized text objects: change-in-parentheses is done by c(, not ci(. w for "in-word", q for "in-WORD", e.g. cq will change-in-WORD. There are lots of examples like this in common.vim.
