git clone https://github.com/peterdemartini/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install.sh

~/.vim_runtime/update.sh

I also recommend using Source Code Pro font from Adobe (it's free and awesome font for writing and programming). The Awesome vimrc is already setup to try to use it

brew install the_silver_searcher

Open bufexplorer and see and manage the current buffers (<leader>o):

map <leader>o :BufExplorer<cr>

goyo.vim and vim-zenroom2 lets you only focus on one thing at a time. It removes all the distractions and centers the content. It has a special look when editing Markdown, reStructuredText and textfiles. It only has one mapping. (<leader>z)

map <leader>z :Goyo<cr>

Fast saving of a buffer (<leader>w):

nmap <leader>w :w!<cr>

map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>

<leader>g

<leader>a

nmap <silent> <leader>rt :Test<CR>

Closing of current buffer(s) (<leader>bd and (<leader>ba)):

" Close current buffer
map <leader>bd :Bclose<cr>

" Close all buffers
map <leader>ba :1,1000 bd!<cr>

Useful mappings for managing tabs:

map <leader>tn :tabnew<cr>
map <leader>to :tabonly<cr>
map <leader>tc :tabclose<cr>
map <leader>tm :tabmove 

" Opens a new tab with the current buffer's path
" Super useful when editing files in the same directory
map <leader>te :tabedit <c-r>=expand("%:p:h")<cr>/

Switch CWD to the directory of the open buffer:

map <leader>cd :cd %:p:h<cr>:pwd<cr>

Open vimgrep and put the cursor in the right position:

map <leader>g :vimgrep // **/*.<left><left><left><left><left><left><left>

Vimgreps in the current file:

map <leader><space> :vimgrep // <C-R>%<C-A><right><right><right><right><right><right><right><right><right>

Remove the Windows ^M - when the encodings gets messed up:

noremap <leader>m mmHmt:%s/<C-V><cr>//ge<cr>'tzt'm

Quickly open a buffer for scripbble:

map <leader>q :e ~/buffer<cr>

Visual mode pressing * or # searches for the current selection:

vnoremap <silent> * :call VisualSelection('f')<CR>
vnoremap <silent> # :call VisualSelection('b')<CR>

When you press gv you vimgrep after the selected text:

vnoremap <silent> gv :call VisualSelection('gv')<CR>

When you press <leader>r you can search and replace the selected text:

vnoremap <silent> <leader>r :call VisualSelection('replace')<CR>

$q is super useful when browsing on the command line. It deletes everything until the last slash:

cno $q <C-\>eDeleteTillSlash()<cr>

Bash like keys for the command line:

cnoremap <C-A>		<Home>
cnoremap <C-E>		<End>
cnoremap <C-K>		<C-U>

cnoremap <C-P> <Up>
cnoremap <C-N> <Down>

Write the file as sudo (only on Unix). Super useful when you open a file and you don't have permissions to save your changes. Vim tip:

:W 

Pressing <leader>ss will toggle and untoggle spell checking

map <leader>ss :setlocal spell!<cr>

Shortcuts using <leader> instead of special chars

map <leader>sn ]s
map <leader>sp [s
map <leader>sa zg
map <leader>s? z=

Do :help cope if you are unsure what cope is. It's super useful!

When you search with vimgrep, display your results in cope by doing: <leader>cc

To go to the next search result do: <leader>n

To go to the previous search results do: <leader>p

Vimscript mappings:

map <leader>cc :botright cope<cr>
map <leader>co ggVGy:tabnew<cr>:set syntax=qf<cr>pgg
map <leader>n :cn<cr>
map <leader>p :cp<cr>

Do following:

• Remove ~/.vim_runtime
• Remove any lines that refernce .vim_runtime in your ~/.vimrc
