Notes

• vimrc is commented; reading it is the best way to get a sense of what's added. In particular, the "Keybindings" sections might be useful.

• The line set gdefault makes search and replace global by default. This means that adding /g only replace the first instance on a line.

• For YCM, I had to run ./install.sh --clang-completer --system-libclang because of some issues with Arch. See ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#538 and ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#870 (comment)

• If you see weird symbols in your status line, you need a special font to render some unicode symbols. You can disable this by removing the line let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1 from the vimrc. vim-airline Has instructions for updating the font if you want to symbols.

  You can install all the fonts from https://github.com/powerline/fonts.

  On my Linux box, I ran fc-match monospace to find which font I was using in my terminal, moved the relevant font from here to ~/.fonts, ran fc-cache -v ~/.fonts to update the font cache, and updated my KDE settings to use it.

  On OS X, I set the font in iTerm to the patched version of Deja Vu.

.mine files

vimrc.mine and gvimrc.mine contain system-specific settings or other settings that should not be part of a general configuration. Thus, they are not tracked in the repo. They are included in your vimrc automatically. I have included some examples of what this might look like.

Compatability

Should work on Linux and Mac OS X. Untested on Windows.

nvim

1. Install neovim (e.g. brew install neovim)

2. Create ~/.config/nvim/init.vim with:

set runtimepath^ = ~/.vim runtimepath+ = ~/.vim/after
let &packpath    = &runtimepath
source ~/.vimrc

3. pip install neovim for Python support
