Installation

git clone [email protected]:aedenj/dotvim.git ~/.vim

Make Vim aware of your preferred configuration by creating these symlinks:

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

I put Vim's backup and swap files in ~/tmp, so that directory must exist. To be sure, run:

mkdir ~/tmp

Vim plugins are installed via vim-plug. You can pull them down by firing up vim then running the following in vim,

:PlugInstall

Since I'm using the coc.nvim here's a list of typical plugins,

:CocInstall coc-json coc-tsserver coc-html coc-git coc-sql coc-docker coc-css

Now that's all done for good measure go ahead a restart vim.

Adding Plugins Under Vim-Plug

Adding plugins is simple under vim-plug simply checkout the examples in vimrc

IntelliJ IDEA

Occassionally I'll do Java development and IdeaVim has gotten to a point that it's just less painful, I've found, to do such development in an IDE. When that's called for I'll symlink the IdeaVim setup:

ln -s ~/.vim/ideavimrc ~/.ideavimrc

THANKS

A big shout out to Drew Neil whose Vim cast I based this setup on.
