Extra notes

• Don't use sudo vim, use sudoedit instead
• Auto-completion will be disabled automatically inside ssh sessions and docker containers otherwise it will corrupt the clipboard
• Vim's built-in clipboard will be used when system clipboard is not available
• When Fbterm and gpm is detected, ttymouse will be set to xterm (to use gpm mouse in the fbterm)
• Python and Perl are used on few commands but most of the functions are written in pure vimscript
• There are some keys one should never remap them
  • Ctrl-I = Space in terminals
  • Ctrl-M = Enter in terminals
  • Ctrl-H = Backspace in terminals
  • Ctrl-[ = ESC in terminals
  • Ctrl-/ Vim doesn't support it
  • Ctrl-AnyNumberkey Vim doesn't support it
  • three or more combination keys like Ctrl-Shift-S, terminals don't accept this
• An example setup should like this in bashrc/zshrc

# Add this to bash_profile, bashrc or zshrc
if [[ "$TERM" == "xterm"* ]]; then
  export TERM=xterm-256color
fi
stty -ixon -ixoff # In order to use Ctrl Q and ctrl S
stty lnext '^-' stop undef start undef -ixon # In order to use Ctrl V
export VISUAL="vim"     # For the sudoedit command
export EDITOR="$VISUAL" # For the sudoedit command
