Custom leaderkey and localleader key

Just config this variable

let g:mapleader
let g:maplocalleader

Install plugins

I suggest that most of plugins should lazyload by dein ,There has two ways to install plugins.

  • if you are a vim begginer or you want to follow master branch,you should use plugins.yaml. like you want use choosewin plugin,you can installed it in plugins.yaml(notice thinkvim has installed ,just for example)
- repo: t9md/vim-choosewin
  on_map: { n: <Plug> }
  hook_source: source  $VIM_PATH/core/layers/tools/choosewin/config.vim
  • repo means github repo
  • on_map is a dein lazyload feature,that mean the plugin will loading when you trigger on_map key,
  • hook_source is executed before plugins are sourced

Dein is hard to use for some vim begginers，you can check the core/dein/plugins.yaml for use. more useage about Dein.

  • if you have vimscript skill and not a vim beginner, want change this config to your own config ,you can edit the core/dein/plugins.yaml.

the keymap of plugins you should config it in custom.vim,th same as installed plugins,if you want follow master branch use custom.vim,if you want change to your own config you can edit the core/plugins/allkey.vim.

example:

if dein#tap('vim-choosewin')
	nmap -         <Plug>(choosewin)
	nmap <Leader>- :<C-u>ChooseWinSwapStay<CR>
endif
  • If you want to disable some of the plugins I use, you can overwrite them, e.g.:
- { repo: tryu/caw.vim, if: 0 }
  • Your plugin shortcuts should also be based on this format. used if dein#tap('pluginname')
  • Notice ‼️ the lazyload feature of dein will not loading the default config of plugins, so you should config the keymap of lazyload plugins

register the custom keymap to whichkey, there are two settings map.

let g:which_key_map   for leaderkey
let g:which_key_localmap  for localkey

example:

if dein#tap('defx.nvim')
         nnoremap <silent> <Leader>F
                \ :<C-u>Defx -search=`expand('%:p')` `getcwd()`<CR>
endif
let g:which_key_map.F='test'
  • if you edit the plugins.yaml ,it doesn't work. you can try to recache the cache. use this function call dein#recache_runtimepath()
  • you can check my .thinkvim.d for more usage.

change colorscheme

  • ThinkVim provide a easy way to change colorscheme, use this keymap Leader+tc then thinkvim will write the colorscheme that your choose into cache file,ThinkVim will read this file to load colorscheme when next startup

  • Add your favorite coloscheme file into colors folder

Spaceline

check out the spaceline config

Startify

  • Custom Startify Header And Footer

this is an example to config straify header and footer on your custom.vim.

let s:header = [
      \ '       o',
      \ '        o   ^__^',
      \ '         o  (oo)\_______',
      \ '            (__)\       )\/\',
      \ '                ||----w |',
      \ '                ||     ||',
      \ ]
let s:footer = [
      \ ' [ test custom footer]',
      \ '',
      \ ]

let g:startify_custom_header = Thinkvim_startify_center(s:header)
let g:startify_custom_header = Thinkvim_startify_center(s:footer)

Custom keymap

" disable all keymaps of plugins
let g:thinkvim_disable_mappings = 0
" disable some plugins keymap is a list
let g:thinkvim_disable_pmaping = []

The value of thinkvim_disable_pmaping are

plugins:
dein.vim vim-buffet markdown-preview.nvim
indentLine any-jump.vim vim-floaterm
vim-dadbod-ui dash.vim coc-clap
coc.nvim vim-clap vim-go vim-delve
vimagit vim-choosewin caw.vim vim-smoothie
goyo.vim defx.nvim vim-quickrun vim-easymotion
vim-smartchr iron.nvim vim-sandwich vim-startify
vim-fugitive vim-mundo vista.vim

general:
insert command quiet window session toggle normal

eg:

let g:thinkvim_disable_pmaping = ['dein.vim','insert'....]

Why add this support, Because vim is free, and key mapping everyone has everyone's habits, so we can't bundle them, it should be customized by the user. more information on this issue https://github.com/hardcoreplayers/ThinkVim/issues/105.
