Gabriel Fortuna's .vimrc file
INSTALLATION: See the INSTALL file.
Info
I'm putting this out there so that everyone can benefit from years of obsessive and sustained stubborn effort to make vim as awesome as editors like textmate and textedit ultra, or whatever newfangled things you kids use nowadays.
Features
A run down of what it does.
- A tree viewer for your methods and classes. Type
tabin normal mode - Run and debug SQL statements from within vim - see DBExt on vim.org
- A file browser. See NERDTree on vim.org. Type
\tabin normal mode - Sane whitespace conversions. Hard tabs are a bad idea people. This .vimrc fixes all that nonsense.
- A handy commenting plugin. See NERDComments on vim.org
- A brilliant snippets plugin, ala textmate. See snipMate on vim.org
- Lots of shortcuts for editing multiple vim screens in a tabbed interface
- Complete code with tab in insert mode.
- Lots of other passive enhancements which just make vim more of a pleasure to use
- Most plugins are now available via git submodules. This is good for a few reasons:
- They're always up to date
- They are easy to install and/or disable
- This vim-files repo doesn't get bloated.
