What is in your .vimrc?

This isnt in my .vimrc but its related.

In your .bashrc add this line alias :q=exit

Its amazing how much I have used this, sometimes without even realising!

Has extras for CakePHP/PHP/Git

enjoy!

Will add nice options you guys are using to it and update the repo;

Cheers,

I can't live without TAB Completion

" Intelligent tab completion
inoremap <silent> <Tab> <C-r>=<SID>InsertTabWrapper(1)<CR>
inoremap <silent> <S-Tab> <C-r>=<SID>InsertTabWrapper(-1)<CR>

function! <SID>InsertTabWrapper(direction)
    let idx = col('.') - 1
    let str = getline('.')

    if a:direction > 0 && idx >= 2 && str[idx - 1] == ' '
                \&& str[idx - 2] =~? '[a-z]'
        if &softtabstop && idx % &softtabstop == 0
            return "\<BS>\<Tab>\<Tab>"
        else
            return "\<BS>\<Tab>"
        endif
    elseif idx == 0 || str[idx - 1] !~? '[a-z]'
        return "\<Tab>"
    elseif a:direction > 0
        return "\<C-p>"
    else
        return "\<C-n>"
    endif

My favorite bit of my .vimrc is a set of mappings for working with macros:

nnoremap <Leader>qa mqGo<Esc>"ap
nnoremap <Leader>qb mqGo<Esc>"bp
nnoremap <Leader>qc mqGo<Esc>"cp
<SNIP>
nnoremap <Leader>qz mqGo<Esc>"zp

nnoremap <Leader>Qa G0"ad$dd'q
nnoremap <Leader>Qb G0"bd$dd'q
nnoremap <Leader>Qc G0"cd$dd'q
<SNIP>
nnoremap <Leader>Qz G0"zd$dd'q

With this \q[a-z] will mark your location, and print the contents of the given register at the bottom of the current file and \Q[a-z] will put the contents of the last line into the given register and go back to your marked location. Makes it really easy to edit a macro or copy and tweak one macro into a new register.

I have this in my ~/.vim/after/syntax/vim.vim file:

What it does is:

• highlights the word blue in the color blue
• highlights the wrod red in the color red
• etc

Ie: so if you go:

highlight JakeRedKeywords cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=black ctermfg=Red

The word red will be red and the word black will be black.

Here is the code:

syn cluster vimHiCtermColors contains=vimHiCtermColorBlack,vimHiCtermColorBlue,vimHiCtermColorBrown,vimHiCtermColorCyan,vimHiCtermColorDarkBlue,vimHiCtermColorDarkcyan,vimHiCtermColorDarkgray,vimHiCtermColorDarkgreen,vimHiCtermColorDarkgrey,vimHiCtermColorDarkmagenta,vimHiCtermColorDarkred,vimHiCtermColorDarkyellow,vimHiCtermColorGray,vimHiCtermColorGreen,vimHiCtermColorGrey,vimHiCtermColorLightblue,vimHiCtermColorLightcyan,vimHiCtermColorLightgray,vimHiCtermColorLightgreen,vimHiCtermColorLightgrey,vimHiCtermColorLightmagenta,vimHiCtermColorLightred,vimHiCtermColorMagenta,vimHiCtermColorRed,vimHiCtermColorWhite,vimHiCtermColorYellow
