Dave's Vim Configuration

Originally forked from Mislav motivated by his blog post. I routinely cherry pick his checkins.

The configuration uses Vundle.

The decision to use plugins are driven by my development requirements. Ruby on Rails, Javascript/CoffeeScript, HAML, SASS, C, and BASH.

I put effort in making sure all plugins play nicely and are consistent indepenedent of language.

Please let me know if there's a must have that I haven't found.

Installation:

Prerequisites: ruby, git, vim compiled with Ruby and Python.

1. Manually git clone vundle and put it in the bundle directory
2. Move your existing configuration somewhere else: mv ~/.vim* ~/.gvim* my_backup
3. Clone this repo into ".vim": git clone https://github.com/Pliny/vimfiles.git ~/.vim
4. Go into ".vim" and run "rake": cd ~/.vim && rake

This will install "/.vimrc" and "/.gvimrc" symlinks that point to files inside the ".vim" directory.

Features:

• 2 spaces, no tabs
• incremental, case-insensitive search
• 'Leader' character mapped to "," (comma)
