Hotkeys

In Vim there is the leader key, which is by default \ , but you can change it in any time.

Color scheme

I use color scheme “Solarized”, the light version is enabled by default. If you want the dark one, you have to change the following lines:

" Setting up light color scheme
set background=light

" set highlighting for colorcolumn
highlight ColorColumn ctermbg=lightGrey

to those:

" Setting up light color scheme
set background=dark

" set highlighting for colorcolumn
highlight ColorColumn ctermbg=darkGrey

Full features list

Easy installation

You just need to place .vimrc in your home directory, and that's all. All plugins and dependencies will install automatically upon first vim launch.

Folding

Folding is disabled by default, but you may fold any part of JS code according to the syntax with just Space key.

Remember your last editing sessions

When you open file, which you used editted last, vim will open it on the exact same line.

Vertical ruler

There is a vertical line indicating 80 character limit, it can be seen on the screenshot above.

Smart search

Vim’s built-in search ignores case by default, but if you use mixed lower/upper-case in the search pattern, it'll be case-sensitive.

Quick plugin install — Neobundle

It's a bundler, which helps to install other bundles. It's quite smart and works better then vundle.

Color Scheme — Solarized

A popular light/dark color scheme.

Snippets — Ultisnips & vim-snippets

Neosnippet is a snippet engine itself, and Vim-snippets — it’s default snippets collection.

This config features snippets, which can be autocompleted by tab аnd expanded by Enter. Here is a full list of snippets.

Smart panels — Unite

Provides features like:

• Recent files list (with help of neomru).
• Quick tab navigation.
• Yank/History.

On-the-go Syntax checker — Syntastic

This plugin integrates many spellchekers and syntax checkers and shows you errors when saving or opening a file.

By default this config use npm-packets jshint and css-lint to check js and css files on the fly.

Advanced file-system navigation — NERDTree

Imroved file-system navigation. Looks pretty much like the standard one but with some cool features like tree navigation, bookmarks, and some more.

Improved status line — Airline

Nice and good loking status bar for vim, nicely integrated with syntastic and fugitive.

Good keyword completion system — YouCompleteMe

Smart and mighty autocompletion.

Integration with git — Fugitive

Provides full integration wit git.

Show Code coverage — Forked version of Coverage.vim

If you have code coverage report for you project located in '.coverage/coverage-final.json' or 'coverage/coverage-final.json' the covered lines would be highlighted.

Improved syntax higlighting

• Typescript — leafgarland/typescript-vim

• JSX — vim-jsx
• JSON — vim-json
• CSS3 — vim-css3-syntax
• Stylus — vim-stylus
• Markdown — vim-markdown
• Mustache/Handlebars — vim-mustache-handlebars

Improved editing

• DelimitMate — provides automatic closing of quotes, parenthesis, brackets, etc., also has some other related features that will make your time in insert mode a little bit easier.
• tcomment — tcomment provides easy-to-use, file-type sensible comments for Vim. It can handle embedded syntax.
• surround is all about “surroundings”: parentheses, brackets, quotes, XML tags, and more. The plugin provides keystrokes to easily delete, change and add such surroundings in pairs.
• MatchTag — highlights the matching HTML tag when the cursor is positioned on a tag. It works in much the same way as the MatchParen plugin.
