A ready to use minimal Vim (Sublime Text -like) .vimrc configuration

( Play Video )

vim-sublime includes Vundle package manager and some external plugins.

The shortcuts should work in vim (terminal with 256 colors) on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (I'm joking, I don't know).

Everywhere

• ctrl + p - Open other files in the folder
• ctrl + f - Find text in the document
• ctrl + z - Cancel
• ctrl + y - Redo
• F1 - Snippets

Selection - after (esc + v) or (⇧+ v)

• ctrl + c - Copy
• ctrl + x - Cut
• ctrl + v - Paste
• ctrl + m - Comment / Decomment
• ctrl + w + <tag> - <tag>Wrap text</tag>
• ⇥ Tab - Indent text
• ⇥ Tab + ⇧ - Indent text

An alternative way to comment is ctrl + v (Visual-block mode) then ⇧I add the commenting characters (es. //) and press esc.

To decomment, ctrl + v, select the part you want to delete at the beginning of the line and press d.

Tabs

• ctrl + t - New tab
• ctrl + k - Close tab
• ctrl + b - Previous tab
• ctrl + n - Next tab

Install Vundle

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

Install vim-sublime .vimrc

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grigio/vim-sublime/master/vimrc > $HOME/.vimrc

Then open vim and run

:BundleInstall

(Don't worry about the 'Monokai' error), quit and enter in vim again to apply the changes

You can also add machine specific config to ~/.local.vim

For best results make sure your $TERM env variable is 256 colours; export TERM=xterm-256color

Note: to have the correct font in the bottom bar you need a Powerline font installed and selected in the terminal.
