They aren’t very meticulously set up, but vim is so win.
This is based mostly based on rob cornery’s vim files
The simplest thing you can do is to create a “VimSettings” directory somewhere on your drive. Mines in my home root (~/). Just do a git clone from this repo and put it to your drive somewhere, then you need to setup some aliases to point to the vimrc and gvimrc files.
By default, Vim will look for these files in your root, so you’ll need to alias them like this: ln -s ~/VimSettings/vimrc .vimrc ln -s ~/VimSettings/gvimrc .gvimrc ln -s ~/VimSettings .vim
NERDTree rails.vim fuzzyfinder (for buffer nav) peepopen that one that makes “end” statements appear when you start a function Ack for searching
I highly recommend remapping ESCAPE to CAPSLOCK. It’ll speed things up and save your pinky.
, as leader aka my custom shortcut ,b = buffer browser/searcher FuzzyFinderBuffer ,f = fuzzyfinder file wanted: ,l NERDTreeFind (opens nerdtree to the current file highlighted ,s last buffer? ,a ack in project,l NERDTreeFind (opens nerdtree to the current file highlighted ,s last buffer? ,a ack in project??
TODO
-
understand tags better, read about it, look for how to search for usages of a tag and not just tag definitions?
-
get a better ack, ideally one that shows results as you type

COPY PASTE
copy the current line: yy paste: p
SUPERTAB: Select Entry: CTRL - Y or ESCAPE COMMAND LINE / 2 MODE CTRL-B cursor to beginning of command-line CTRL-E cursor to end of command-line <C-Left> cursor one WORD left <C-Right> cursor one WORD right
CTRL-W Delete the |word| before the cursor. This depends on the
‘iskeyword’ option. c_CTRL-U CTRL-U Remove all characters between the cursor position and the beginning of the line. Previous versions of vim deleted all characters on the line. If that is the preferred behavior, add the following to your .vimrc: > :cnoremap <C-U> <C-E><C-U>
CTAGS
map <F8> :!/usr/bin/ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q .<CR> alternative ctags -R --exlude=.svn --exclude=log * CTRL+[ - go to definition

QUICK EDITING ci’ change text within quotes I insert at the begin. A append to end. o / O open a new line after/before the current. cc - change (replace) an entire line cw - change (replace) to the end of word ciw - change inner word (reglardess of cursor) DIRECTORIES :!mkdir my_project :!rails my_project ea - insert at end of word
BUFFERS :BD will close the current buffer. CTRL-^ Switch buffer :ls View the list of buffers along with their numbers. :!ls view all unlisted buffers :bf Go to the first buffer. :bl RIGHT Go to the last buffer. :bn or LEFT Go to next buffer :b [file]. Fantastic for quickly switching between buffers. You can give it just part of a file name and it will jump to the buffer that matches.
SPLIT Ctrl-w Ctrl-w moves between Vim viewports. Ctrl-w q will close the active window. :on make this the on;ly window CTRL-W CTRL-O make this the only window # ctrl+ws - Split windows # ctrl+ww - switch between windows # ctrl+wq - Quit a window # ctrl+wv - Split windows vertically

:jumps G End of file gg top of file Ctrl-o moves the cursor to the last jump.
Ctrl-i moves the cursor to the previous jump. H moves the cursor to the top of the screen or viewport. M moves the cursor to the middle of the screen or viewport. L moves the cursor to the bottom of the screen or viewport. z. Redraw, line [count] at center of window (default cursor line). Put cursor at first non-blank in the line.
zz zz Like “z.”, but leave the cursor in the same column. Careful: If caps-lock is on, this command becomes “ZZ”: write buffer and exit! {not in Vi} zt - change the viewport so that the cursor is at the top z- - change the viewport so that the cursor is at the bottom

Found a post on another site. Solution append **/ after FuFile
so my mapping is now:
map <leader>f :FufFile **/<CR>
