A highly tuned vim distribution that will blow your socks off!

introduction

this is my personal vim distribution that i have tweaked over time and evolved from a simple vanilla vimrc configuration to a full-blown distribution that it is today.

while it is very easy to install this and get up and running on a brand new machine (a use case i have), i recommend that you do not install this unless you fully understand everything that's going on inside. scan it for tips and tricks, or fork and customize it for your needs.

installation

clone this repository into your
```
~/.vim
```
directory

git submodule init && git submodule update

```
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup
```
create the following shim and save it as
```
~/.vimrc
```
:

let g:dotvim_settings = {}
let g:dotvim_settings.version = 2
source ~/.vim/vimrc

startup vim and dein will detect and ask you install any missing plugins. you can also manually initiate this with
```
:call dein#install()
```
done!

versioning

the

g:dotvim_settings.version

is a simple version number which is manually edited. it is used to detect whether significant breaking changes have been introduced so that users of the distribution can be notified accordingly.

customization

since the distribution is just one file, customization is straightforward. any customizations can be added to the
```
g:dotvim_settings
```
variable, which will be used whilst sourcing the distribution's
```
vimrc
```
file. here is an example:

" this is the bare minimum
let g:dotvim_settings = {}
let g:dotvim_settings.version = 1

" here are some basic customizations, please refer to the top of the vimrc file for all possible options
let g:dotvim_settings.default_indent = 3
let g:dotvim_settings.max_column = 80
let g:dotvim_settings.colorscheme = 'my_awesome_colorscheme'
" change the default directory where all miscellaneous persistent files go
let g:dotvim_settings.cache_dir = "/some/place/else"
" by default, language specific plugins are not loaded.  this can be changed with the following:
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups_exclude = ['ruby','python']
" if there are groups you want always loaded, you can use this:
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups_include = ['go']
" alternatively, you can set this variable to load exactly what you want
let g:dotvim_settings.plugin_groups = ['core','web']
" if there is a particular plugin you don't like, you can define this variable to disable them entirely
let g:dotvim_settings.disabled_plugins=['vim-foo','vim-bar']
" finally, load the distribution
source ~/.vim/vimrc
" anything defined here are simply overrides
set wildignore+=*/node_modules/*
set guifont=Wingdings:h10

autocomplete

this distribution will pick one of three combinations, in the following priority:

neocomplete + neosnippet if you have
```
lua
```
enabled.
youcompleteme + ultisnips if you have compiled YCM.
neocomplcache + neosnippet if you only have vimscript available

this can be overridden with

g:dotvim_settings.autocomplete_method
