Tons of changes all in one commit because I'd broken a commit a while
back and opted to simply reverse them all- Lots of colour changes, the
update script now removes decommissioned bundles, gentags script can now
have additional paths added to it when generating a tags file, README is
much improved, fixed a few issues that required remapping some toggles,
fixed a bunch of issues with the colourscheme between the terminal and
gvim. You can now setup a custom config file to have loaded after the
darkcloud-vimconfig ones, and there's a custom location for pathogen
modules too, to make things tidier without necessarily needing to use
an additional runtimepath. You can also create a file in your home
directory to assign filetypes to programs, for use with the file
manager. A file can be placed in ~/.vim/ with file associations and
prorams to launch them with. The file manager will also open a file with
vim by hitting shift+enter, since e isn't all that comfortablly placed.
The vimrc can now also point to the darkcloud-vimconfig folder, rather
than relying on the vim folder being in a specific location, and the
after folder is now configured to work in the project too.

1. Git: Required to clone and update the repository, and pull the plugins as submodules.
3. CTags: Available @ < http: // ctags . sourceforge . net > , place in __ $PATH__ or the vim folder to use the tagbar or extended C omni/auto-completion.
Added a new script that can be used to update the repo if bash is
available. Updated the README. Improved the theme by adding a bunch
of syntax highlighting definitions (mostly rooted in html, though
a bunch of other languages base their colours on it), as well as
tweaking visual selection to longer invert on the block with the cursor,
and parenthesis matching to look the same at both ends. Added a plugin
that improves the theme and adds some keyboard shortcuts to markdown,
which is what the README.md files in Github are written in. I realized
that the h,j,k,l shortcuts equivalent to the ones with arrow keys I'd
added were overwriting other shortcuts with the shift combinations, so
I removed those and the ctrl-ones for consistency. The diff shortcuts
weren't intuitive or easy on the hands, so I tried something else and
I think it works much better now (check vim/keyboard.vim). An update
script has also been added to simplify updating submodules; I'm not
completely clear as to whether following this method will properly
update the submodules in certain conditions like when one is removed,
but this should add new ones and update the existing ones after pulling
from the repo.
2014-04-01 00:03:52 -04:00
4. Vim v7.4+: Everything has been written and tested using Vim 7.4.135, and I assume there could be issues with 7.3 and below.
2014-04-02 11:17:12 -04:00
2. Bash (optional): Required to use the update and ctags generation scripts, both of which can be run with the commands listed within.
5. Powerline Fonts (optional): Required for an extended look/feel using lightline, otherwise it should be toggled off in the vimrc.

* A custom theme that includes an original colour scheme and an ever growing collection of explicit syntax colour overrides.
* A complete default configuration that attempts to provide a useful, easy to use and modern vim experience without becoming bloated.
* Key bindings and aliases to make useful features more accessible and provide a smoother work flow while attempting to vim's default behaviour while adding behaviour.
* A selection of plugins chosen either because they improve vim's support for common filetypes, or because they provide value-added features that aren't bloated and manage to make vim more useful as a text editor.

`git clone https://github.com/prurigro/darkcloud-vimconfig.git`
`sh darkcloud-vimconfig/update`
* Note: The __update__ script requires bash, but you can enter the __darkcloud-vimconfig/__ folder and run: `git submodule update --init` to install the plugins manually if it's not available.
2. Open vim and run: `:version` to find the values for "user vimrc file" for a single-user install and "system vimrc file" for a system-wide install, then copy the vimrc file from `darkcloud-vimconfig/` to one of these locations.
3. Open the vimrc you just installed and edit the variables in the "USER CONFIG SETTINGS" section:
* **s:darkcloudpath**: Set to the location of the darkcloud-vimconfig folder. (default: __ /etc/darkcloud-vimconfig__)
* **g:autostartchecker**: 1 = Check syntax once an appropriate file is loaded | 0 = Check syntax only after syntax checking is toggled on (default: 1)
* **g:powerlinefonts**: 1 = Render the statusline using characters available with powerline-patched fonts | 0 = Render the statusbar with less attractive but more compatible characters available in all fonts (default: 1)
* **guifont**: Set to the name of the font you would like to use with gVim followed by the size, making sure to escape spaces and that a powerline-compatible font is selected if the above option is set to 1. (default: Droid\ Sans\ Mono\ 12)
4. Install ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net) to your system using a package and ensure it can be accessed in __ $PATH__, or install support for vim exclusively by copying the ctags binary to the __darkcloud-vimconfig/vim__ folder.
## Configuration ##
* **Custom Configuration**: Settings with priority over those set by darkcloud-vimconfig can be added to a file named __vimrc.user__ , located in __darkcloud-vimconfig/vim/__ or any of the folders in the runtimepath.
* **Custom Plugins**: Pathogen compatible plugins can be cloned or extracted to "darkcloud-vimconfig/vim/bundle.user/", or a folder named "bundle" or "bundle.user" in any of the folders in the runtimepath.
* **Custom Snippets**: To add or override Emmet snippets, create __ ~/.vim/snippets.json__ and add your own definitions using json like shown in the [Emmet Documentation ](http://docs.emmet.io/customization/snippets/ ).
* **File Associations**: To use the file manager in vim to run files with external programs, create "~/.vim/filetypes.vimcall" and on each line, write an association between a file extension and the program to launch files of that type that looks like: `call vimfiler#set_execute_file('mp4','xdg-open')` .
* **Update Script**: (requires: bash+git) Update the project and its submodules using the same "update" script in the root of darkcloud-vimconfig as the one used to download the plugins.
* **Generate System Tags**: (requires: bash+ctags) Generate a list of ctags for your system libraries in __ /usr/include__ and __ /usr/local/include__ as well as any folders passed as arguments by running the __gentags__ script.
* **Fix TMux Keys**: (requires: tmux): Add the following settings to tmux to ensure the colour scheme gets loaded and all the keyboard combinations work: `set -g default-terminal "screen-256color` and `set-window-option -g xterm-keys on`
## Notes ##
* Runtimepath: To find the runtimepath locations currently set, run the following in vim: `:verbose set runtimepath` .
* Key Bindings: You can find a list of the bindings added by darkcloud-vimconfig, as well as a few of the ones added by plugins in __vim/config/keyboard.vim__ .
