Intro

The purpose of this project is to not only provide an IDE-like vimrc, but also to teach you how it is constructed. This project tries to maintain a fairly small vimrc and provide a great out of the box experience as well serving as a ground for further customization.

Dependencies

• Vim 9.0 or later with huge features.
  • Note: This config will definitely work with Vim 8.0 and later, but don't miss out on the great features of Vim 9.1! Grab the latest Vim!
• Nodejs
• npm
• Python (For Compiling The Leaderf C Extension)

Example:
Debian:
sudo apt install nodejs npm
Arch:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

Installation

Method I (Recommended)

After installing the dependencies, clone the repo and run the symlink.sh script. Then simply wait for the setup to complete.

Tl;Dr:

• Install Dependencies
• Clone This Repo git clone https://github.com/wolandark/wim.git
• cd Into The Cloned Repo cd wim
• Run the symlink.sh script ./symlink.sh

This method enables you to update Wim without having to clone the repo again or run the install script. Simply git pull every once in a while and as long as you don't mess up the symlinks, you won't have to do anything else. If you happen to mess up the symlinks, just run the update.sh script that will be generated after the first time of running the symlink.sh script.

Watch it work

This is recorded on Devuan (in case that matters).

Method II

After installing the dependencies, run the install.sh script. The script is safe and works sudo-less.

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wolandark/wim/master/install.sh)

Tl;Dr:

• Install Dependencies
• Run the install.sh Using Curl

Watch it work

This is recorded on Devuan (in case that matters).

Some of the features

See the exhausting feature list above

• Out of the box plugin installation
  
• Out of the box LSP setup for HTML, CSS, JS, TS, Bash and MORE if you want it!
• Tab Completion and snippets for fast coding
  
• Easy tab and split navigation
  
• Start Screen with bookmarks and file history
  
• Beautiful catpuccino and base16 colorschemes
• Customized Lighline statusline
  
• Customizability! It is lightweight and extensible and FAST!

Notes

• Some terminals hold unto your Ctrl or Alt or shift key for their own functions. It's up to you to use a sane terminal emulator!
• This config has been tested on various GNU+Linux distros as well as MacOS, FreeBSD and Windows, but official support will only be provided for GNU+Linux distros.

Notes for Windows users

Make sure you have nodejs and npm in your PATH and that you have curl installed.

You have to manually install fzf from the official repo and remove the Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': { -> fzf#install() } } line from wim-vim. (Yes because you're on windows you must suffer!)
Clone the repo and move the wim-vim file under C:\Users\username\vimfiles\vimrc. Make sure to rename it to vimrc. Copy over the coc-settings.json, cheat40.txt and the whole vimwiki directory also under the aforementioned path.

Then simply start Vim and wait for the installation to finish.

Notes for Mac users

If you plan to use Vim from the terminal, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST USE ITERM!
