1 # A modular vim configuration
2
3 This is my personal vim configuration that is partly inspired by SpaceVim. It
4 is compatible to vim, gvim (8.0+) and neovim (0.2+). The configuration is split
5 up into multiple files such that personal customization is separated from
6 boilerplate code.

9 ## Installation
10
11 ### Requirements
12
13 The install script that is shipped with this configuration also checks
14 for the following requirements:
15
16 - python3 support for vim/gvim
17 - neovim python3 module
18 - aspell
19
20 Under a Debian-like Linux system you can install these by the following commands
21
22 ````
23 sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-de python3-pip
24 pip3 install neovim
25 ````
26
27 ### Clone & install
28
29 If you already have a vim configuration in place then you may first move your
30 ~/.vim directory first
31
32 ````
33 mv ~/.vim ~/.vim-old
34 ````
35
36 Assumung that there is ~/.vim anymore, simply clone this repository into ~/.vim
37 and invoke install.sh therein.
38
39 ````
40 git clone https://git.sthu.org/repos/vimconf.git ~/.vim
41 ~/.vim/install.sh
42 ````
43
44 This install script creates backups of existing configuration files (e.g.,
45 ~/.vimrc) and then creates symlinks to configuration files in ~/.vim.

48 ## Specialization for local machines
49
50 I personally would like to have the same vim configuration on all my accounts.
51 Still, on certain machines I would like to personalize and specialize the
52 configuration. The following files are read if existent:
53
54 - plugins-local.vim
55 - macros-local.vim
56 - keymaps-local.vim
57 - init-local.vim
58
59 Example files are shipped with the repository.
