Vim Configuration

ATTENTION: Use at your own risk! Tested with Vim 7.4 and newer.

Requirements

Some of the installed plugins require ruby to be installed and available in your $PATH.

If you want to use the distraction free writing mode (Control-F10), you also need the Cousine font.

Installation

Short version

Use the following code to grep the repo and symlink it.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/behrendtio/vim.git ~/.vim && ln -fs ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Long version

• cd into your home directory, create a backup of your .vim folder and your .vimrc file, checkout the repository.

$ cd ~
$ mv .vim .vim_backup
$ mv .vimrc .vimrc_backup
$ git clone https://github.com/behrendtio/vim.git .vim

• Initialize git submodules.
