My vim/gvim configuration

I've setup vim with my own .vimrc, hopefully nicely commented and well laid out.

I use vim-plug to organise plugins. It's awesome; you should try it. Hopefully something like it will become default in vim 8.

Installation

1. git clone ~/.vim
2. If vim < 7.3, ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
3. vim
4. :PlugInstall
5. done!

My bundles:

Some have external dependencies, like YouCompleteMe.

They can also require python scripting support.

Please see the top of vimrc for my list of current plugins, it changes frequently!

Hottest bundle: vim-css-color - see the colors of CSS codes you type in!

Build YCM with semantic C completion

Works on Arch Linux.

Needs: Boost, Clang, Go, Node.js & npm, TypeScript

If your OS doesn't have up-to-date versions of Boost & Clang, you likely don't want the system version of those. See YCM Installation Guide

Run in an empty directory

#!/usr/bin/bash
here=$(pwd)
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=ON -DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBCLANG=ON . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp
# Go support
cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/gocode
go build
# Tern/JS support
cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/tern_runtime
npm install --production
cd $here
cmake --build . --target ycm_core --config Release
