dotfiles

These are configuration files for:

  • Vim 7.4+ or NeoVim
  • Vimperator (3.8+)
  • Tmux
  • Zsh
  • Other bits and pieces

The configs reflect a heavy preference for vim-like bindings.

Requirements

  • The configs only make sense with at least zsh and vim installed.
  • zsh has been used with 4.3.17 and up.
  • vim can work with 7.3, but is best with 7.4+ to have all the right patches.

Optional

  • The Solarized dark colour palette makes the zsh prompt nicer.
  • The Meslo font (Menlo, patched for powerline), makes vim and tmux look better, and has Rainbarf graph glyphs.
  • Vim with Python/Ruby support or NeoVim is needed for Vim-Plug to perform parallel downloads.
  • The Silver Searcher should be installed where possible. If not available, Ack (part of this repo) will be used as a fallback (requires Perl 5.8.8).
  • Install Pandoc for vim to generate documents from .pandoc files (Pandoc Markdown). Install pandoc-citeproc for bibliographical assistance.

Set Up

Clone this repository to the home folder, and run setup.sh:

$ ~/dotfiles/setup.sh

Restart the shell after that.

Useful Things

Below are some examples of how this config is used. The list is not exhaustive. Users are encouraged to actually read the dotfiles. Hopefully, any comments left help users to understand, modify and improve what is there.

And improve you should. Streamline your work flow. Introspect constantly. See what others do. Enjoy the amount of time wasted on tweaking a setup :D

Zsh

  • Git prompt tries to reflect the actual file state, not just hint at change types.
  • Mostly-Mnemonic Git shortcuts. Go learn Git.
  • SSH agent forwarding persists through tmux/sudo when remotes also use these dotfiles. (Be a one-private-key kind of person.)
  • A .zshlocal file can contain machine-specific settings.
  • z folder jumping enabled, e.g. z regex = cd /path/with/regex.

Vim

Space is the <Leader>.

  • <Leader>p fuzzy-finds files. Best in Git repositories.
  • <Leader>f fuzzy-finds functions in the current file.
  • <Leader>t opens a function/variable list for the current file.
  • <Leader>n toggles line numbers.
  • <Leader>w saves.
  • <Leader>q closes files.
  • Additional text objects exist (see 'Text Objects' in plugins.vim).
  • Saving .pandoc files also outputs .docx versions.
  • Activate :Goyo for distraction-free writing.
  • 3 colour schemes are available. Toggle with :Dark, :Light and :Neon.

Tmux

Ctrl-a is the Prefix. PrefixHold = Hold down Ctrl during that binding.

  • Prefix + vi motion moves around panes.
  • PrefixHold + vi motion moves around windows.
  • Alt/Meta + number moves to window number (1-10).
  • Prefix + - cuts a pane horizontally,
  • Prefix + \ cuts a pane vertically (think |).
  • Prefix + s starts synchronized panes.
  • PrefixHold + s swaps between sessions.
  • Mouse support works to select/resize panes/windows.

Vimperator

Apart from all the default vimperator goodness e.g.

  • / searches like vim.
  • f and F follow links on this tab/in a new tab.
  • et cetera...

This config provides the following:

  • h and l move left and right between tabs.
  • j and k half-pages down and up (<C-d>/<C-u> equivalents).
  • H, J, K, L are small motions (5 lines or chars) within a page.
  • <C-h> and <C-l> relocate a tab left and right.
