These are my Vim and Neovim settings that I like to keep synced between my computers for convenience. This bootstrap setup will support both Vim and Neovim and uses different plugins, where needed, to bridge gaps in functionality.
I use Neovim day to day, but there are times it is not available, so Vim and older Neovim installs are supported as well.
Vim and Neovim less than 0.5 support is really in maintanence mode now and not heavily maintained. I may actually trim down the configuration to be more minimal and act as an alternative to my more IDE like Neovim environment.
The bootstrap script included will set the proper symblinks and run package managers to install any plugins.
git clone https://github.com/ViViDboarder/vim-settings.git
cd vim-settings
make install
You can also remove any installed plugins or uninstall this configuration using either make clean
or make uninstall
respectively.
Vim configs are in maintenance mode and will not be updated, however are expected to be able to run anywhere. Neovim configs target the Neovim version in the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. I try to add tags to commits when I drop support for older versions of Neovim.
The vim
directory here is what gets symblinked to ~/.vim
, and the neovim
directory gets symblinked to ~/.config/nvim
. Inside, the init.vim
file will also get symblinked to ~/.vimrc
. The neovim/init.vim
file will dyanmically load the older non-Lua configs if Lua is not supported. The other included directories are mostly standard vim directories that provide some additional configuration files. The exceptions would be backup
, which becomes the new default location for storing backup files while editing. The tmp
directory is for storing session information. The rc
directory is where all the vimrc
work gets done.
This config is in Lua with the philosopy of taking advantage of as much out of the box capaiblities as possible.
The init.vim
file essentially sets vim up to import the rc files from the rc
directory. The actual configuration exists almost entirely in the rc
directory. Each file should be fairly self explanatory.
One problem with syncing rc file between different machines, is that you may have different usages. That is solved by this framework by making use of local.rc
files. For every *.rc.vim
, you may provide a *.local.rc.vim
file which will be loaded after the shared one. Here you can override or add anything to the synced configuration without it causing problems on any other machine.
I am not the original creators of some of the files included in the vim directory and only vendor them out of convienince. If I am missing any licensing information I'd be happy to attach it.
