Tricks

Reload .vimrc without restarting vim:

:so ~/.vimrc  \n:so $MYVIMRC  \n:so %\n

: The last command is for when you’re editing it.

Package management

Vundle FTW.

" Required Vundle stuff  \nset rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim  \ncall vundle#begin()  \nPlugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'  \n  \n" Plugins  \nPlugin 'airblade/vim-gitgutter'  \nPlugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree'  \nPlugin 'chriskempson/base16-vim'  \nPlugin 'bling/vim-airline'  \nPlugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'  \nPlugin 'jmcantrell/vim-virtualenv'  \nPlugin 'bling/vim-bufferline'  \n  \n" End Vundle stuff  \ncall vundle#end()  \nfiletype plugin indent on\n

Color Schemes

iTerm2, Base16 theme on OS X. Need do three things:

Install relevant iTerm2
\ntheme
Set up the Base16
\nshell in ~/.profile
Install Base16 vim
\nthemes (done
\nvia Vundle)

Then,

let base16colorspace=256  \nlet g:airline_theme='base16'  \ncolorscheme base16-railscasts\n

vim-airline

To get all the nice arrows and symbols in vim-airline, you’ll either
\nhave to

Patch your terminal
\nfont, or
Download a pre-patched
\none¹

If you just want the symbols, see this. This guy has some great observations
\non the amount of effort necessary to get a simple status bar. You can always
\nuse Sublime Text.

I stopped caring (see source)

let g:airline_left_sep = ''  \nlet g:airline_right_sep = ''  \nlet g:airline_symbols.linenr = ''  \nlet g:airline_symbols.branch = ''  \nlet g:airline_symbols.paste = ''  \nlet g:airline_symbols.whitespace = ''\n

Themes

Here’s a list
\nof included themes. Find one and set it in .vimrc with

let g:airline_theme = 'base16'\n

Customization

let g:airline_section_a       (mode, paste, iminsert)  \nlet g:airline_section_b       (hunks, branch)  \nlet g:airline_section_c       (bufferline or filename)  \nlet g:airline_section_gutter  (readonly, csv)  \nlet g:airline_section_x       (tagbar, filetype, virtualenv)  \nlet g:airline_section_y       (fileencoding, fileformat)  \nlet g:airline_section_z       (percentage, line number, column number)  \nlet g:airline_section_warning (syntastic, whitespace)\n

References etc

\n
Look for Unicode symbols
\n
\n
Add this to ~/.vimrc to see the airline bar (source)
\n
```
set laststatus=2\n
```
\n
\n
Vivify is a nice theme-making GUI.
\nVillustrator is another.
\n
\n
You can also make your own
\nBase16 theme.
\n
\n
Some good notes on a
\nbasic Vim setup.
\n

Footnotes

\n
In iTerm2, you’ll have to change the regular and non-ASCII
\nfonts to the same
\npatched one. ↩︎
