vimplus: An automatic configuration program for vim

Intro

I usually use vim to write a C++ program, so in order to allow me to write C++ more enjoyable, I made some vim automatically configured, the following I will be a presentation of my vimplus.

Screenshots

This figure is below a real shot after I configured vim.

Installation

Ubuntu Installation

git clone https://github.com/chxuan/vimplus.git
cd ./vimplus
sudo ./install.sh

Run the install.sh script will automatically install and configure vim, installation takes about 40 minutes, mainly download compiler Valloric/YouCompleteMe time-consuming, please wait until the installation is complete 😄,if the installation fails, please see Warning.

The installation script will automatically install some software below:

• vim
• g++
• ctags
• cmake
• python2
• python3

and some plugins below:

• Vundle
• YouCompleteMe
• NerdTree
• nerdcommenter
• Airline
• auto-pairs
• DoxygenToolkit
• ctrlp
• tagbar
• vim-devicons
• vim-surround
• vim-commentary
• tabular
• vim-dirdiff
• vim-coloresque
• change-colorscheme(I am the author)
• etc...

Centos Installation

cd ./vimplus
sudo ./install.sh

Run the install.sh script will automatically install and configure vim, installation takes about 40 minutes, mainly download compiler Valloric/YouCompleteMe time-consuming, please wait until the installation is complete 😄,if the installation fails, please see Warning.

• change-colorscheme(I am the author)
• etc...

Configuration ycm

Run the install.sh script after the installation is complete, HOME directory will exist .ycm_extra_conf.py and .vimrc, the file is YCM implement C++ and other languages syntax completion function profile, I would put a general in the HOME directory, then copy each project a .ycm_extra_conf.py,don't just copy/paste that file somewhere and expect things to magically work; your project needs different flags. Hint: just replace the strings in the flags variable with compilation flags necessary for your project. That should be enough for 99% of projects.

Note

1. In order to use vim-devicons, you have to set font, if you don't have guifont set and are not running gvim you will need to set the terminal font(you have to set this font:Droid Sans Mono for Powerline Nerd Font Complete).

Warning

---

1. If poor network conditions may fail to install, basically Valloric/YouCompleteMe installation fails, after a failed installation will need to rm -rf ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe, and then re-execute the install.sh can be re-installed, the program will automatically install the plug-in installation fails,or I have YouCompleteMe.tar.gz,download it and then tar -xvf YouCompleteMe.tar.gz -C ~/.vim/bundle/,then cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe and run python ./install.py --clang-completer.
2. In ubuntu16.04LTS installation may fail(Valloric/YouCompleteMe installation fails), because vim default support for plug python3 compiled, after a failed installation, manually cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe, then run python3 ./install.py --clang-completer.
