My vim configuration files

You can copy the files like usual, I've made a install.sh script you can run though to do it as well.

The biggest things are my custom syntax colors, spell check is enabled, and <Tab> being bound to opening netrw to give you a file browser in the editor.

If you're new to netrw here are some quick shortcut keys you can use in the window:

• Enter - Edit file - Opens the highlighted file in the last used buffer.
• % - Create new file - Creates a new file in CWD, NOT the one you've highlighted. This does open the file in the netrw window though and pressing <Tab> will close it without warning or writing.
• v - Open in vertical split - Splits last active window vertically and opens file in new buffer.
• D - Delete file - Deletes the highlighted file.
• R - Rename file - Rename the highlighted file.
• x - Open file - Open the highlighted file with associated program.(ie xdg-open, to view a PDF)

Here are some general vim tips that will help make your life easier. I'm skipping some basic ones you probably memorized already:

• v - Visual mode - Lets you see a text selection starting from where you cursor was. Can then be used with other commands like y & d.
• { & } - Next & Prev empty line
• gg - Top of buffer
• GG - Bottom of buffer
• . - Repeat last edit - Repeats the last thing you did which can include editing in Insert mode. Very useful for bulk changes with using the command line.
• / & n - Find & Next - Find instances of a search and move to the next instance.
• z= - Spell check word - Shows similar words to replace a word with based on spelling. Chose new word with its number.

• % - Select buffer - This means you'll run the command on the whole buffer (ex %s/this/that/g will replace this with that everywhere in the open file)
• #,# - From line # to line # - Select line number range to perform command on.(ex 22,25s/this/that/g will replace this with that on lines 22, 23, 24, & 25 in the open file)

• : - Run command on selection - This will insert '<,'> in the command line which will let you run commands on the selected text.(ex '<,'>s/this/that/g will replace this with that in the selected text)
