• Super easy to install and extend
• Everything in the vimrc is explained
• A universal configuration with a syntax checker, plugin manager and more

Dependencies:exuberant/universal ctags (tagbar)

git clone https://github.com/timss/vimconf.gitln -s vimconf/.vimrc~/.vimrc

Run vim and it'll download and install all plugins automatically!

If you choose to symlink your~/.vimrc you can easily maintain an updatedversion of this vim configuration by using the local additions.

• ~/.vimrc.plugins - Add your personal plugins here
• ~/.vimrc.first - Prerequisites only, as it will be overwritten by whatever below
• ~/.vimrc.last - Overrides everything, generally use this

I've chosen to include mostly universal plugins and configuration, meaning thatnot a lot is language specific and should be suitable for most use cases. Ifyou want additional plugins for autocomplete and more you can do so easilyusing your local files mentioned above.

Some useful plugins could be:

• clang_complete - C/C++ autocompletion using Clang
• jedi-vim - Python autocompletion using the Jedi library
• YouCompleteMe - Autocompletion for several languages (C/C++, Python, ..)

My personal configuration can be found intimss/dotfiles.

If you want to disable any of the plugins included in the main configurationeitherUnPlug them:

UnPlug'ervandew/supertab'UnPlug'vim-syntastic/syntastic'

Or define a list of repo names to be disabled:

letg:plugs_disabled= ['supertab','syntastic']

Both should be added to~/.vimrc.plugins.

Even if this configuration can be used out of the box or tweaked using thelocal files, I urge you to build your own if you have the time and energy to doso. Only then will you be able to properly understand the reasoning behind eachsetting and tailor it to your personal workflow.

However I still believe my Vim setup will help you get a basis configurationfor your own, introducing core ideas such as a plugin manager and.vimrc structure. Use this configuration well, but do not blindly trust it tosuit you perfectly. It's intended to be played with!

• Update preview (gifs)
• Extract some language/plugin specific configuration to an example file (wiki)?
• Lazy loading
  • Analyze--startuptime
  • Add conditional plugin loading for plugins that don't properly lazy load
  • Move functions to$HOME/.vim/autoload?
