ABOUT *vimroom-about* | ||
|
||
I do most of my writing in Vim, because I’m a big nerd. It does most of what | ||
I want a writing environment to do, but I miss some of the “distraction free" | ||
features of the quite exceptional WriteRoom. Fullscreening Vim means that text | ||
ends up flat up against the left side of my monitor, but I’d much prefer it to | ||
be centered. I’d also like a little of the visual clutter to fade away. Some | ||
of this is possible with MacVim, but I’d rather do as much as possible in | ||
a platform-independent way. So, command-line Vim it is. | ||

INSTALLATION *vimroom-installation* | ||
|
||
I think the best way to install Vim plugins is via Tim Pope’s Pathogen. Using | ||
that plugin, you can simply clone the VimRoom repository into your bundles | ||
directory, and you’re done. | ||
|
||
Without Pathogen, installation is almost as trivial: simply copy | ||
./plugins/vimroom.vim from the repository into your plugins directory. That’s | ||
it! | ||
|
||
============================================================================== | ||
CONFIGURATION *vimroom-configuration* | ||
|
||
By default, VimRoom binds <Leader>V to <Plug>VimroomToggle, and sets up an 80 | ||
column workspace with at least 5 columns of space on either side (it doesn’t | ||
help at all to have single-column sidebars, you see), and 3 lines of space | ||
above and below. It assumes a black background when hiding visual | ||
distractions. As of v0.4, VimRoom also sets up a :VimroomToggle command that | ||
has the same effect. | ||
|
||
Changing any of these assumptions is a simple matter of setting variables in | ||
your .vimrc. | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_background* | ||
is the background color to be used for hiding elements. Set this to your | ||
terminal’s background color (“white”, “black”, etc.) | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_min_sidebar_width* | ||
is the minimum sidebar width. This will automatically expand to take up all | ||
the free space left after setting the main workspace window to g:vimroom_width | ||
pcolumns. | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_navigational_keys* | ||
determines whether Vimroom will map keys like <Up>, <Down>, j, and k to | ||
navigate over “display” lines, rather than “logical” lines. This defaults to | ||
p1 (on), if you’d prefer the mapping not take place, set it to 0 (off). | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_scrolloff* | ||
specifies how many lines of text ought appear before and after the cursor. | ||
pThis defaults to 999, which centers the cursor on the screen. | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_sidebar_height* | ||
sets the height of the upper and lower “sidebars.” If you don’t want vertical | ||
padding, set this to 0. | ||
|
||
*g:vimroom_width* | ||
is the width of your workspace. | ||
|
||
|
||
You can bind the <Plug>VimroomToggle function to any key combination you like | ||
via the usual mechanisms. For example:: | ||
> | ||
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>mz <Plug>VimroomToggle | ||
<> | ||
|
||
Would bind the function to <Leader>mz. Trivial, right? | ||
|
||
And that’s it! | ||
