Vim configuration

My simple vim configuration based on vim's native package support and git (Vim 8+ required).

Install

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Finn10111/vim.git ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/

Optionally you can use YouCompleteMe or set other custom configurations:

cp ~/.vim/.vimrc.local .
cd ~/.vim/pack/syntax/opt/YouCompleteMe/
python3 install.py --all

Optional dependencies for ALE linters/fixers

ALE supports a huge list of languages with associated fixers and linters: https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale/blob/master/supported-tools.md Execute the following commands to help you to find available fixers or linters:

:ALEFixSuggest
:ALEInfo

Linters are enabled by default and available if their program is installed.

For ALE's python support you need to install for example flake8, eslint for Javascript or for html/htmldjango files use js-beautify:

# Debian/Ubuntu
apt-get install flake8 eslint node-js-beautify python3-autopep8 yamllint php-codesniffer yamllint

# Arch Linux
yay -S flake8 eslint js-beautify autopep8 yamllint php-codesniffer yamllint yamllint

# others (e.g. yamlfix is not available via apt)
pip install yamlfix

ALE's fixers need to be enabled, some are already enabled in .vimrc but you can modify it to suit your needs and put it in the .vimrc.local file.

Update

git pull --recurse-submodules origin master
