Use our old Command-T mapping but extend it to work in the context of
pick, where we need to have separate mappings depending on how we want
to open a file or buffer.
|
|
Now that I've removed Command-T
(236fcf4d68da2c5076b37081dc13ff4b865c528a), we can remove its
configuration.
|

I absolutely love Command-T, and it's served me so well over the last
year and a few months. Its native Ruby C extension makes it super fast,
much faster than CtrlP.
That said, it can take 2-3 seconds to initialise if its cache is empty,
so when I start a new Vim instance or clear Command-T's cache after
adding or removing files or switching to a git branch that's very
different, I have to wait for it to do its thing.
This initialisation time really got on my nerves last week when I
constantly had to clear Command-T's cache for some reason in order for
it to list the files I was looking for, resulting in more waiting than I
would have liked.
Because of this, I went looking around at other options to test their
speed. I've settled on Thoughtbot's pick(1) after testing out different
fuzzy finder plugins.

Now that I've removed Unite in 95256a840f492eaa45c8a0e78791a0916821f9a9,
we can remove its configuration and mappings.
|
|
My primary use case for Unite was as a potential replacement for
Command-T. It's pretty cool, but since it operated at about the same
speed as CtrlP on my large work project, I'm afraid I'm going to remove
it in favour of pick.
|
|
Since I removed CtrlP in 1aa1b4d3258c8d962f965da3e33ee20ee206d5f0, we
can remove its configuration also.
|
|
Even with ag, ctrlp has been much too slow in my huge work project.
Ctrlp actions consistenty take seconds to complete there. Settling on
pick as my new fuzzy finder.
|

* Add new mappings to have pick.vim open buffers in a new split, vsplit,
or tab
* Add `PickBufferListCommand` function copied directly from the pick.vim
plugin to give me the correct pick list since the function isn't
accessible outside the script. We can then combine this list with the
appropriate opening command.
|
|
By default pick.vim uses `git ls-files` for its file listing. This
ignores untracked files, which I would like to be able to open. Use a
custom pick command copied from the pick.vim source to show untracked
files in the pick list.
|
|
Mappings to run pick and open a buffer from it in various
configurations.
|
|
Use `ag` as Ctrl-P's grep program to make it faster.
|
|
* Mappings to open files and buffers with Unite.vim in split buffers and
tabs
* Use fuzzy matching
* Use `ag` as the backing grep program to make things faster
|
|
Trying out the pick(1) fuzzy finder from Thoughtbot. Seeing how fast it
is out of the gate.
|
|
Testing out CtrlP as a Command-T alternative at the same time as
Unite.vim. Figure I might as well try all of these to see which one I
end up liking most.
|
|
Curious about other Command-T options because it's been feeling a bit
slow lately. Testing out Unite.vim to see if it might work for me.
|
|
Wish there was an easy way to toggle the plugin on and off with a
command in the plugin (e.g. `:AuditoryToggle`). Would be nice to enable
it when I wanted to and have it disabled at other times. I like it but
there are times when I don't want my computer to be playing music when
I'm typing or editing text. Disable it by default.
|
|
Use the remote URL instead of a local path.
|
|
This was commented out anyway and I don't plan on using the vimrc
sourcing command. This section can be safely removed.
|
|
Haven't used this command in ages because it doesn't really work well.
These days I use my <leader>c visual mapping for copying text instead of
copying it directly from the window. This command also doesn't handle
copying from split windows.
Pretty soon I should install Chris Toomey's text object copy plugin as
that will be quite a bit nicer than my current system.
|
|
I wasn't using it, instead favouring `:ls`, so we don't need it any
more.
|
|
* Move Netrw settings down to the Plugins section
* Set an empty window size to make new :Vexplore windows open at
half-width instead of being fixed at 25-ish columns (or whatever I had
set for NERD Tree). Even after removing NERD Tree, for some reason
:Vexplore refuses to open windows at the default unset window size,
always using 25-ish.
* Set case-insensitive sort so that uppercase file names don't appear
above lowercase file names because it's confusing for the list to not
be fully alphabetical from top to bottom.

Now that I've removed the plugin
(6d7ea2be365959b8aa348d5942846111a85480f6), it can be removed from the
list.
|
|
Now that I removed NERD Tree (6d7ea2be365959b8aa348d5942846111a85480f6),
this configuration is no longer needed.
|
|
I've been using Netrw more and more after
9ec85f7fa5e118c0630e6b6457b71e80e57fa5dd. I think I'm going to switch
over and leave NERD Tree now. Haven't really been using it for anything
other than showing multiple directory levels of a project in a single
view, which I now know is something Netrw can do. Also I mostly use
Command-T opening files so haven't been using the plugin much lately.
|
|
Now that I removed the EasyGrep plugin
(52927a37be4b978417c7835cebeed975ef90e0ca), we no longer need to set its
configuration options.
|
|
Now that I've removed EasyGrep in
52927a37be4b978417c7835cebeed975ef90e0ca, remove it from the README's
plugin list.
|
|
No longer using this one. I've been using ag exclusively, mostly
directly from the console but sometimes using the plugin. For find and
replace I've gotten more adept at using the arglist, so I haven't used
EasyGrep in a long time. It can also be kind of slow, mostly because it
doesn't use ag. Not sure if there's a way to integrate the two.
|

Wanted to capture the fact that the `g:netrw_liststyle` change was made
on 2015.06.02 but forgot to change to today's date when adding the
CHANGELOG entry for the `<leader>or` change.

Add a mapping to open the current file in `ranger`, the console file
explorer. I already have a similar command to open the current file in
Finder, but these days I find ranger a bit more pleasant to use,
particularly if I'm already in the console. It's definitely more
keyboard-friendly.
This came about because I was trying to copy a file and the built-in Vim
methods for doing so that I know of were more complicated than I wanted.
1. Use :saveas [filename]
This method does the right thing in copying but the copy goes to
Vim's :pwd. I wanted it to go to the same directory the file was in.
2. Use Netrw
The mf mt mc commands were a little confuddling to me. It makes sense
when copying a file to a directory, but how do I duplicate a file in
the same directory?
3. Use :shell
Opens a shell, but in Vim's :pwd, not in the current file's
directory. Maybe I should make a mapping for this.
|
|
Use Netrw's tree view. This makes Netrw function a lot more like
NERDTree. In fact, that's the primary reason why I use NERDTree in the
rare cases that I need it these days. We can probably remove NERDTree
from the plugin list after this.
Thanks very much to Mo Zhu for introducing me to this setting at
BostonRB project night last Tuesday.
Would have committed it then but I was thinking I'd do some plugin
changes and uninstall NERDTree before doing so. I haven't and now I want
to make another change to my vimrc so let's just commit this now.

Set Gemfiles to use the `ruby` filetype so that they open with Ruby
syntax highlighting automatically. Too much of a pain to `:set ft=ruby`
every time.
|
|
Turn on tab completion to make it easier to navigate to a directory to
save the file in.
|
|
Add a plugin to provide a way to write file names with spaces. Came from
a Vim forum post. Handy to not have to always type backslashes if I want
to save a file with spaces in it.
|
|
Noticed when writing emails that when a line ends with a period, two
spaces are added after it, meaning there are now two spaces between my
sentences. Personally I hate this practise even though I understand why
it makes sense when using fixed-width typefaces. Set nojoinspaces to
make it stop happening.
|
|
Grab the movement commands `[n` and `]n` to move between merge conflict
markers. Makes it easier to get around when fixing conflicts in vimdiff.
Copied from Tim Pope's vim-unimpaired plugin.
|
|
It's useful to have spell checking on when writing emails.
|
|
Add formatoptions for composing email messages. Using a recommendation
from here:
http://wcm1.web.rice.edu/mutt-tips.html
regarding format=flowed emails.
|
|
Looks like ERB files would take their indentation settings from the ruby
setting (2 spaces). I want 4-space indentation in my ERB, at least
typically that's what I want when I'm writing HTML with embedded ruby.
Apply that accordingly.
|
|
Create a python-specific map (<leader>gdo and <leader>gdO) that inserts
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
either above or below the current line. I got tired of having to type it
all the time.
|
|
Add setting to preserve file attributes, such as creation date. I went
to check the creation date of a file I know was created at least a year
ago, but its creation date was today and the same as its modified date.
I had recently edited the file in Vim, and that ended up being the
problem.
This setting ensures that files are reused so their attributes are
preserved.
What an unfortunate loss of history since last April.

So I can grep my open buffers.
|
|
Comply with PEP8 style guidelines by setting a max line width of 79
columns). Should make it easier to write Python code without having to
watch the column count myself.
|
|
Add a mapping to read from the OS X pasteboard. Pasting directly in
insert mode is excessively slow when dealing with a lot of text. Likely
caused by too much redrawing. Reading directly from the OS X pasteboard
is much faster, so add a mapping for that.
|
|
This setting tells vim not to save options & mappings in persisted
sessions. This allows open buffers, windows, and tabs to be saved but
configuration options and plugins to be different when reopening a
session. Useful if I've made modifications to my vimrc after creating a
session.
Found out about this from https://github.com/xolox/vim-session. Really
cool that this exists. It's been something that annoyed me for a while
but I never bothered to find a solution.

When making bulleted lists in git commits, I normally use '*' as the
bullet character.
When my text wrapped from the textwidth=72 setting for gitcommit-type
files, the line following the start of a bullet would begin with a
bullet.
Obviously this is the wrong behaviour since I'm continuing a list item,
not of starting a new one.
This frustrated me to no end whenever I wrote a list in a git commit,
constantly having to `0r<space>` to fix the extra asterisks.
I finally decided to solve this problem once and for all. Read up a
little on:
* :h formatoptions
* :h fo-table
* :h format-comments
The last of which gave me what I needed to fix the problem. Now
asterisks in git commits behave as list bullets.

Never being able to move by word in command mode would always get on my
nerves. In particular if I was trying compose a long command. Sure you
can bring up a command window but that's not what I think of first when
starting to writing a command.
Luckily `cmdline.txt` in vim help has the answer! Since Shift-Left/Right
doesn't work for me and I'm using Control-Left/Right to move between OS
X spaces (not even sure if the Control modifier version works for this
either), create bash/emacs-style mappings to move between words in
command mode.
I'm sorry I didn't find this earlier but it does feel good to have a big
annoyance solved.
