Vim workshop

This repo contains the slides for my vim talk. Additionally, I have provided a starter vimrc and tmux.conf. These may be a good starting point for someone getting into vim and tmux.

Check out the presentation PDF.

Vim setup instructions

1. Download vim

   Likely, vim is already installed on you machine. If you're on a mac, you can get the latest vim from Homebrew.

   sudo apt install vim

2. Create a vimrc

   Create a vim configuration file in your home directory and a .vim/bundle directory

   cp vimrc ~/.vimrc
   mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle

3. Add vundle

   If you'd like to use vundle to manage plugins, you can install it as a git submodule

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

   You will also need to let vim know about vundle by adding it to your ~/.vimrc.

   set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
   call vundle#begin()
   
   " let vundle manage vundle
   Plugin 'gmarik/vundle'
   
   " list all plugins that you'd like to install here
   Plugin 'kien/ctrlp.vim' " fuzzy find files
   Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree' " file drawer, open with :NERDTreeToggle
   Plugin 'benmills/vimux'
   Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive' " the ultimate git helper
   Plugin 'tpope/vim-commentary' " comment/uncomment lines with gcc or gc in visual mode
   
   call vundle#end()
   filetype plugin indent on

4. Start vim and install plugins

   vim
   :PluginInstall //install plugins
   :PluginClean //clean uselesss plugin

5. how key mapping

   move windows up move windows down move windows left move windows right

   buffers :bun/:bd/:bw to close the window as well (vim command), or :BUN/:BD/:BW to leave the window(s) intact (this script).

6. wget

   wget -O ~/.vimrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brucelau-github/vim_config/master/vimrc Note in Vim version 8.0, there is a native package manager (:help package more info).
