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.

# Darkcloud Vim Distribution: Theme, Config and Plugins #
|
|
|
|
## Requirements ##
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Features ##
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
## Installation ##
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the darkcloud-vimconfig repo and use the __update__ script to install the plugins:
|
|
|
|
`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__.
