Shortcuts

sVimrc

• The sVimrc page is where you can customize sVim settings and css.
• You can access the page by pressing g v or via the extension settings in Safari.
• The sVimrc and sVimcss files can be synced via gist.
  • The gist id is found at the end of the url when viewing the gist.
  • Note it does not matter the name of your gist or the file, sVim will just grab the first file from the gist id supplied. I use sVim.rc and sVim.css.
• For simplicity, strings in sVimrc should be wrapped in ".
• Save the sVimrc page with command+s.
• Goto or switch between sVimrc and sVimcss with ctrl+w.
