custom_vim

Getting started

• Run git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim to install Vundle.
• Clone this repository to a location of your choice, then copy .vimrc to ~/.vimrc.
• Open Vim, then to install plugins (read below first) enter the command :PluginInstall.

Plugins

Below is a list of the plugins that I use and that will be installed when running :PluginInstall. I've included a brief description of what each plugin does, but would encourage you to visit the links yourself to see what they do in much greater detail.

If you don't want to install a particular plugin, simply remove the line(s) Plugin '<plugin I don't want>' from .vimrc before running :PluginInstall.

The plugins

• Vundle - Vim plugin manager
• NERDTree - File explorer
• indentLine - Vertical lines displayed for line indents
• vim-easymotion - Powerful navigation tool
• fzf - Fuzzy finder
• vim-eldar - Colour theme
• vim-airline - Visual bar showing useful information
• UltiSnips - Powerful macro building tool
• vimtex - LaTeX integration
• vim-cool - Better highlighting
• vim-startify - Start screen manager

The my_snips directory

The my_snips directory contains custom LaTeX macros which interface with the UltiSnips plugin. This should be placed inside the ~/.vim directory if you want to use it, otherwise you can ignore this step. I would strongly encourage you to check out their repository to learn more about this plugin.

Additionally, if you care about LaTeX, this is an excellent blog discussing LaTeX snippets.
