My own Vim configurations and plugins which I used. Here is my current screenshot of vim.

Primary Vim relative settings are in plugin/settings/Vimrc.vim file, and isolate other plugins' settings in plugin/settings directory.

1. BACKUP your .vim directory and .vimrc first.(IMPORTANT!)

2. cd ~ to change directory to your home directory.

3. copy files to your home directory:

    git clone git://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim.git
   

4. cd to eddie-vim directory and execute the update.sh to get latest version modules:

    cd eddie-vim
    ./update.sh
   

5. make a symbolic link .vim to eddie-vim that you just cloned, or just rename it to .vim also be fine:

    ln -s eddie-vim .vim
   

6. link the vimrc to

    ln -s .vim/vimrc .vimrc
   

7. if you're still not familiar with the movement in vim by HJKL, I've made a easier version:

    ln -s .vim/easy-vimrc .vimrc
   

8. if you use GUI version VIM, such as MacVim or GVim, you can also link to .gvimrc:

    ln -s eddie-vim/gvimrc .gvimrc
   

9. if you use Powerline under Ubuntu or something which can not show the correct icons/fonts on the bottom, you can check this link, it looks pretty nice.

10. you may need to install ack first if you use ack.vim.

just change directory to ~/.vim and execute ./update.sh script, it should do all the updates automatically.

1. Resize splited windows automatically, so that you get a bigger editing room if you're working with a smaller screen. (stole from Gary Bernhardt)

2. Toggle between working mode and presentation mode by <leader>z, but only work in GUI version Vim. You can check here to see how it looks like. (stole from Mike Skalnik)

3. some usually used key mappings in normal mode:

   a. hit <ctrl>w p will launch a quick window to match keywords from your current working directory, not only file name, but also path name. and <ctrl>w u will match from your MRU(Mostly Recent Used) files, which is also frequently used.

   b. hit <leader> twice to toggle comment on and off.

   c. <tab> and <shift><tab> to increase and decrease the syntax identation.

   d. <F5> to run Ruby and Python scripts, and compile CoffeeScript to Javascript(You have to install CoffeeScript first, of course).

   e. <F7> to switch to previous tab, and <F8> to the next tab.

   f. <leader>v to open .vimrc in a new tab.

   g. <leader>0 to edit or create README.md in current working directory.

if you can not found ctags command, just find your ctags path and replace my settings in plugin/settings/Ctags.vim file:

let Tlist_Ctags_Cmd = '/your/path/to/ctags'

and Exuberant Ctags is recommended.

any question or comment, feel free to let me know :)
