Vim For Mac

2. Vim Editor Mac

All configuration options for vim are stored in the user’s home directory in a file named .vimrc

VIM is light, powerful, extendible, runs on every possible OS, and can be used for all sorts of programming languages. The philosophy of VIM is that it is a tool and not a text editor made to hold the user's hands. It is my de-facto editor on both Mac, Linux and Windows and all the other platforms I. Nov 29, 2018  Vim for Mac is an advanced text editor, which harvests the power of Unix' editor 'Vi', albeit with an enhanced feature set. It is highly configurable, and has been designed to enable efficient text editing, much like 'Vi' Key features include: Vim offers syntax highlighting for over 200 languages. Highlighting Matches.

The script code is below but there are somethings you’ll want to do before setting it up.

You’ll need to create directories for the following: backups, colors, swaps and undo.

Execute this command to set up the directories in the terminal ( The ~ character will set the path to your home directory. ex: /Users/username/ ):

$ cd ~/.vim ; mkdir backups ; mkdir colors ; mkdir swaps; mkdir undo;

This will keep all your backups, swaps and undos in your .vim user directory. Also the colors directory is for installing themes.

Visit vimninjas.com if you would like to download a color scheme. Once you find a color scheme you like, just download it and copy and paste the code into the relevant scheme file and place the file in ~/.vim/colors/

For example if you download the Candy theme, you would name the file candy.vim and place it in the relevant directory described above. Then in your .vimrc config file you would set the theme like so:

I've created a github repo with the .vimrc configuration. Please take a look at the repo and download from here.

Checkout or download the git zip and setup the .vimrc file by using the cp command.

$ cd ~/Downloads/MacOSVimConfig-master
$ cp vimrc-example ~/.vimrc

Otherwise you can create your .vimrc file by copying the Raw text from github and pasting the text below. NOTE: While in vim before you paste try doing this command.

:set paste

This should paste the text with the best result. Once the .vimrc file is configured open a new terminal windows and open a file to test out the setup.

$ vim ~/.vimrc
