Vim Setup Mac



Setting up your computer for Vim and Tmux often comes with a few issues. Here's how to manage plugins for Vim and use Tmux to boost your productivity, as well as settle a few common issues.

We'll install:

These installation guides will help you get Vim up and running on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Upgrading Vim on OS X explains why to upgrade from Vim 7.2 to 7.3+ and how to do it using Homebrew. The easiest way to install Vim on Windows 7+ is to download and run the gvim74.exe file. On Linux make sure to install the vim package with sudo apt. I tried to update my vim using homebrew by typing brew install vim and everything seemed to be fine. When I type vim I still see the system vim loading (version 7.3). I feel like I'm missing a step that's keeping me from using the updated vim I got from homebrew.

  2. Solarized color scheme
  3. Tmux - Terminal multiplexer

We'll also figure out some issues Mac and Tmux have with showing 256 color themes.

SwiftUI Cheat Sheet. SwiftUI’s sheets are used to present new view controllers modally over existing ones. To use one, give it something to show (some text, an image, a custom view, etc), add a Boolean that defines whether the detail view should be showing, then attach it to your main view as a modal sheet.

Install Vundle

You can install Vundle by cloning it:

Configure Vundle

Once installed, you can configure it.

And follow the installation directions by editing your ~/.vimrc file:

Once this is setup, you can open a new instance of vim and run :BundleInstall:

You'll get a confirmation 'Done' message on the bottom of your screen if all goes well.

Add Solarized Color Theme

Next, we'll add the Solarized color theme. Vundle makes this really easy. Simply add the Github repository name in ~/.vimrc:

Now that we've added the solarized theme, we need to have Vundle install it.

Now open up your Terminal (iTerm2 or Terminal app). If you're on a Mac, you may see something..ugly. I had a terrible background and the colors were completley off. I didn't have 256 color enabled.

Here's what I saw:

To fix that, I finally came across this StackOverflow question, which had the answer waiting.

Change your ~.vimrc settings from above to the following:

Once you start up a new instance of Vim, you should see your new, colored vim! Minecraft versions for mac.

Onto Tmux!

Mac

Let's up our game and get Tmux into the mix. We can use Tmux to open up multiple 'panes' within our shell.

First, install it. On your Mac, you can use Homebrew:

Ubuntu or Debian users can user apt-get:

Great. Now, colors are also an issue when running Vim within Tmux. Let's fix that. Create or edit the file ~/.tmux.conf:

Now we're ready to use Tmux. Start up a new Tmux session:

Next, split the screen vertically so we have 2 panes with this keyboard shortcut:

Macbook Vim Setup

You can switch between panes with this shortcut:

You can then open up separate files in each! (Or do .. anything really).

More Tmux

Tmux has Windows, and within the Windows it has Panes. Each Window consists of a set of 1-n Panes.

Tmux also has Sessions. A collection of Windows/Panes live within a Session. You can detach from a Session, leaving it running in the background. You can later re-attach to it, and continue working. This is how people pair program.

Scripted!

You can run this bash script on your Debian or Ubuntu server to run the above Vim+Tmux configurations. This might conflict with anything you currently have in your ~/.vimrc or ~/.tmux.conf files (If they already exist). Back them up first.
