Vim/Gvim/MacVim

I found this vim package in Here and I modify some of the configurations and Add two registry file to add two entry (open in gvim tab and Open with gvim) in Windows right click context menu.

---

For Windows:

1. After clone the this repo, move this repo directory to where you want to place.
2. Add the path to system environment variable[path], if you want to using the ctags and cscope.
3. Modify the path string where store the gvim.exe in registry file EditWithVim-tab.reg and EditWithVim.reg. The default is D:\\software\\gVimPortable\\vim73\\gvim.exe\
4. Double click the registry files to merge them to system. As the registry file name imply, each of them will add a enty in right click context menu.

For Linux

1. Clone this repo. eg:

mkdir ~/github

cd ~/github

git clone https://github.com/tonyho/VIM.git

2. Install the vim(or gvim) using the proper commands, for example in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install vim

3. Install the cscope, ctags and taglist plugin. eg:

sudo apt-get install ctags cscope

4.Symbol link the .vimrc and .gvimrc. Or make a soft link to it:

cd ~ && ln -s ~/github/VIM/_vimrc ~/.vimrc

cd ~ && ln -s ~/github/VIM/_gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

5. Move the vimfiles directory to you home directory, and rename it to .vim,or make a soft link to it:

ln -s ~/github/VIM/vimfiles/ .vim

then clone the vundle:

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

For Cygwin

These is no much different between cygwin and linux to use vim.

For MacOS

Clone this repo. eg:

mkdir ~/github
cd ~/github
git clone https://github.com/tonyho/VIM.git

Install the macvim, for someone using the homebrew, use below commands:

brew install macvim

Install the cscope, ctags:

brew install ctags
brew install cscope

Move the _vimrc file to you home directory, and rename it to .vimrc. Or make ln to it cd ~ && ln -s ~/github/VIM/_vimrc .vimrc

Move the vimfiles directory to you home directory, and rename it to .vim,or ln it ln -s ~/github/VIM/vimfiles/ .vim ;then clone the vundle:

Add the macvim's executive files' path to environment variable PATH by appending the below line to the end of file ~/.bash_profile file: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/macvim/bin/

Post clone, we should install the plugins and fonts#

Plugins

Since we use the vundle to manage the plugins, we should install the plugins. Open a terminal, then open the vim: vim In Vim, we just call the PluginInstall to let the vundle install all the needed plugins: :PluginInstall After do this, the vundle will auto install the plugins.

If error occurs, use the l to see the logs, or save it the a file. Usually, there're 2 kinds of error:

1. Git repo not existed anymore: for this situation, we need to search in github to a new repo, see the _vimrc content for reference.
2. Plugin directory already existed in vimfiles/vundle, so just delete it.

Install Fonts

Install fonts placed in user_fonts directory, or install all the powerline fonts:

# clone
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
# install
cd fonts
./install.sh
