Plugin List

Requirements

Vim

  • This distribution is adapted to both Vim and NeoVim. For Vim, version should be 7.3+, and 8.0+ is recommended. For NeoVim, 0.1.5+ is recommended.

Git

  • All the installations are based on Git which is a famous distributed revision control system. If you use Windows, you may need install msysgit.

Ctags

  • Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. I recommend you to use Exuberant Ctags.

To use this distribution with less bugs, please get more suggestions from here.

Vim Tips

Learning Vim

  • A good learning method of Vim is vimtutor, a 30 minute tutorial that teaches the most basic Vim functionality hands-on.

    To try it, just type vimtutor on terminal.

  • To practice vim skills, you can enable hard mode, and it will disable the arrow keys, the 'hjkl' keys, the page up/down keys, and a handful of other keys which allow one to rely on character-wise navigation.

    To enable it, just type :call HardMode() in normal mode.

  • Another way to get familiar with Vim commands and settings is just rely on the strong help system of Vim.

    It's easy and convenient to type :h or :help in Vim for help of whatever you want to know.

  • A beautiful Vim cheat sheet is available here. If you want one, just click it!

Key Mappings

  • Because I have set some key mappings for more convenient typing and checking, you may feel inconvenient with them at start. But if you get familiar with them, I'm sure you will love them.

    You can just type :map in Vim to see them.

More Tips

  • Vim_Tips_Wiki is an excellent website, and you can learn much from it.
  • Vimcasts publishes free screencasts about Vim. It's useful and interesting! Believe me!

Hope You Enjoy Vimming!!!
