Issues

If you encounter ctags issue on Mac, please reinstall ctags by brew:

brew install ctags

Then add ctags alias to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc and source shell, like this

alias ctags="/usr/local/Cellar/ctags/5.8_1/bin/ctags"

Add submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/vim-scripts/The-NERD-tree.git bundle/the-nerd-tree
git submodule add https://github.com/sontek/rope-vim.git bundle/rope-vim
git submodule init
git submodule update
git submodule foreach git submodule init
git submodule foreach git submodule update

Above submodule init&update command could be replaced by this one

git submodule update --init --recursive

or

git submodule foreach --recursive git submodule update --init

The result is same but just the 2nd one will step into each directory.

For youcompleteme plugin

1. install vim 8.0

yum install ncurses-devel
wget https://github.com/vim/vim/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd vim-master
cd src/
./configure --with-features=huge -enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/bin/python2.7-config
sudo make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

or alias vim='/usr/local/bin/vim' 注意 这里的--with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config 等号后的路径每个机子不一定相同，总之需要找到 config 这个文件

2. ycm install

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install.py --clang-completer --gocode-completer

.vimrc

In .vimrc, add the following codes to implement press TAB to get 4 white spaces

set ts=4  " ts is tabstop, which is to set the width ofTAB as 4
set expandtab

For the saved files, we could use the following approach to exchange between white space and TAB:

TAB to white space

:set ts=4
:set expandtab
:%retab!

white space to TAB

:set ts=4
:set noexpandtab
:%retab! 
" ! is to handle all TAB;
" NO !, only handle TAB of line header
