vim

vim configuration file

Usage

Clone the repository to some local directory, and execute

./set_up_vimrc.sh

Currently it requires pip (for autopep8) and node (for coc-nvim) to be installed in the system.

Windows with wsl

The set_up_vimrc.sh script is intended to be used for linux systems exclusively.

On Windows, if there is a wsl with vim initialized using the above method, you can perform the following manual setup to share the configuration file and plugin files for the Windows machine:

• Set the $HOME environment variable to C:\Users\<username>. This can be done permanently in the control panel or temporarily using Powershell.
• Create a hard link from the original .vimrc file to C:\Users\<username>/_vimrc.
  • In Powershell, use something like New-Item -ItemType HardLink -Path C:\Users\<username> -Name _vimrc -Value path\to\original\.vimrc.
  • If run with admin, can replace HardLink with SymbolicLink, so that vim can infer the actual directory when editing the configuration file.
• Create a junction from the original .vim directory to C:\Users\<username>/.vim. (In Powershell, use something like New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path C:\Users\<username> -Name .vimrc -Value path\to\original\.vim).

Now type vim in Powershell, the configuration and plugins should be loaded.
