Repository files navigation

Vim Hero

Vim Hero is my customized Vim that I mainly use for web development and Python coding.

If you want to try it just run the setup.sh file after cloning the repo.

Some basic commands:

Switch between tabs - forwards: CTRL + PAGE UP
Switch between tabs - backwards: CTRL + PAGE DOWN
Switch between splitted panes: First press CTRL + w, after releasing press an ARROW key.

Plugins:

Vim Hero contains several must have plugins for Vim.

Nerd Commenter:

For easily commenting multiple lines.

Example:

Type \cc to comment a line.

Type 5\cc to comment 5 lines. You got the idea.
Vim Surround:

For surrounding any selected phrase or word with tags or quotation marks.

Example:
- (S)urround (W)ord with <div>: csw <div>
- (S)urround (P)aragraph with ": csp"
Vim Easy Motion:

For easily jumping to a specific word in the viewport.

Press \\w to open jumping mode. Then press one of the colored letters on the screen to instantly jump there.

Sparkup:

An amazingly fast way to write HTML.

Example:

Write:

ul > li.item-$*3 > strong

Then you press CTRL + e and the code above expands as:

<ul>
    <li class="item-1"><strong></strong></li>
    <li class="item-2"><strong></strong></li>
    <li class="item-3"><strong></strong></li>
</ul>

Snipmate:

For using predefined snippets while coding.

Example: for<TAB> instantly creates a for loop which can after be edited easily.
Nerd Tree:

For browsing files. You can toggle it with F10 key.
- Open file: <ENTER>
- Open file in split pane: i
- Open file in new tab: t
- Open file in new background tab: SHIFT + t
Tag Bar:
```
NOTE: You have to install ctags before using this plugin.
```
For listing and jumping to the members of the module; variables, classes, methods. Use CTRL + T to toggle.

And use the "moving through splitted panes" key binding to navigate.
Vim Powerline:

A super cool and informative status bar for Vim.
Syntastic:

On the fly syntax checking. Very helpful while coding. Instantly shows errors on the screen.

For a complete error list: :Errors
Vim Autoclose:

For auto closing quotation marks.

Press F7 to toggle this behavior.
Vim Toggle Mouse:

Toggle mouse. When mouse is on, exploring files, objects and changing tabs is some a bit easier.

Press F6 to toggle mouse.
