Vim

This repository comprises a set of vim configurations and plugins of my daily work. Currently, I am using Python and LaTeX.

Requirements

The following software packages need to be already installed on your system:

• VIM (>= 8.0) with python3 support enabled
• python3 (e.g. via (mini/ana)conda) + pip3: must be accessible via shell

Plugin Installation

Linux

Initialize the ~/.vim directory and download / clone all the plugins listed below:

sh install_vim.sh

Windows

Created a %HOME% environment variable and point that to c:\Users\<yourname>. The vim configurations and plugins will be installed to that directory.

Initialize the ~/vimfiles directory and download / clone all the plugins listed below from a cmd shell:

.\install_vim.bat

Configuration Installation: (g)vimrc

Currently, the following configuration files need to be linked / copied:

• vimrc
• gvimrc
• flake8

Linux

Link the vim configuration files in the home directory:

cd configs
sh link_configs.sh

Windows

Again, make sure that you created the %HOME% environment variable (see above).

Since linking is not possible in Windows, the configuration files have to be copied:

cd configs
.\copy_configs.bat
