Vim folder and configuration files used by Quenk Technologies.

Clone this repo somewhere on your machine.

Optionally cd into the directory and run git submodule update --recursive in the folder.

Create symlinks to the .vim and .vimrc folders. Place those symlinks in your $HOME folder.

Most of the plugins work out of the box but YouCompleteMe requires various setup steps. See their documentation.

Configuration is done in the .vim/vimrc.d folder. There are files for common things like editing.vim and configuration files for various plugins.

When adding a new plugin that requires configuration, create a .vim file with its name and remember to include comments as to what it does.

The .vimrc file contains a script that attempts to source a file called .vimlocal in your project root if it exists. Use this to do things like run autocmds when you save a file etc.

Out of the box we have support for less, javascript and TypeScript and a few other languages used at QT. When setting up configuration for new languages, create a new branch for that language and install whatever plugins needed etc.

This will help keep startup complexity low when using this repo in virtual machines etc. tailored for only developing one language.

General settings and plugins should remain in the master branch.
