 common  Linux  Vim

Install/config gnome vim

if vim --version give you -clipboard, then you need to install gnome vim:

sudo pacman -S gvim # arch
sudo apt install vim-gnome #ubuntu

Install and Config Nerd Font

Nerd font is required by couple of plug in (vim-devicon)

  1. Download font from here

  2. Unzip and copy to ~/.fonts

  3. Run the command fc-cache -fv to manually rebuild the font cache

  4. run command fc-list grep to verify nerd font install correctly

Set Guifont for Nerd Font

if you are using neovim, then you need change the font of the terminal and then restart vim, if you use vim then you need to use

:set guifont=JetBrains\ Mono\ Nerd\ Font:h10

to implement the font

verify the font install correctly

in vim :

:echo g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesDefaultSymbol

if you see the icon then you are fine, it you see some weird icon, then it is not.

Set up vimrc or init.vim file

The config file is in ~/.vimrc or ~/.config/nvim/init.vim, basic config

my vim config is here

set vim color pattern

mkdir ~/.vim/colors, copy the *.vim file into this folder, then update ~/.vimrc file:

then copy the color vim file into the folder:

#neovim
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlessandroYorba/Alduin/master/colors/alduin.vim -O ~/.config/nvim/colors/alduin.vim

#vim:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlessandroYorba/Alduin/master/colors/alduin.vim -O ~/.vim/colors/alduin.vim

" color scheme
let g:alduin_Shout_Dragon_aspect = 1
colorscheme alduin

** I used color scheme called : alduin

install plugin management tool : vundle

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Add bunch of plugins in ~/.vimrc, then run :PluginInstall to install them

Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive' 
Plugin 'airblade/vim-gitgutter' 
Plugin 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'                                                       
Plugin 'tpope/vim-surround'                                                         
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree'                                                        
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdcommenter'                                                   
Plugin 'bagrat/vim-buffet'
Plugin 'vim-airline/vim-airline'
Plugin 'vim-airline/vim-airline-themes'
Plugin 'easymotion/vim-easymotion'
Plugin 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
Plugin 'JamshedVesuna/vim-markdown-preview;
Plugin 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe'

Map the <leader> key to comma

let mapleader = ","

Config NERDTree

noremap  <leader>t : NERDTreeToggle<CR>

“O” - expand all; “o” expand current node

activate Vimdevicon

Once install the vim-devicon, you need use following command to activate in .vimrc

let g:webdevicons_enable = 1
let g:webdevicons_enable_nerdtree = 1                                               
let g:webdevicons_enable_airline_statusline = 1

setup vim-markdown-preview

install grip:

pip3 install grip

in .vimrc:

let vim_markdown_preview_github=1

then <c-p> to launch preview

Set up coc.nvim

  1. Install nodejs

     curl -sL install-node.now.sh/lts | sudo bash

  2. add following in vimrc/init.vim if you use vundle

     Plugin 'neoclide/coc.nvim'

    then resource and run :PluginInstall

  3. Check health

    run :checkhealth, if you see lot of ok then you should be fine. run :CocInfo to see the information

  4. Install java

    run :CocInstall coc-java

  5. Setup JAVA_HOME

    This is same step as set up for VS Code, the tricky thing is some time the openjdk doesn’t work. It complains that JAVA_HOME is not pointing to JDK

    I downloaded oracle jdk and install fixed this issue. Here is the instruction how to install on linux mint.

  6. update the init.vim with coc.nvim config.

    you can find the coc.nvim configuration here

    I didn’t completely copy-paste since there are some keymaps are conflicting.

  7. Some useful shortcuts:

    ‘gd’ - goto declare. <c-o> come back ‘gy’ - goto class definition ‘gi’ - goto implement (from interface to concrete object) ‘gr’ - goto reference ‘[g’ - goto next error. ‘]g’ - goto prev error ‘K’ - show document of a class

Setup ctags

Install ‘ctags’

sudo apt  install exuberant-ctags

In your java project directory, run ctags

ctags -R --languages=Java

update .vimrc set:

set tags=tags;/

Setup YouCompleteMe plugin

  1. update ~/.config/nvim/init.nvim: add Plugin ‘ycm-core/YouCompleteMe’

  2. install cmake

sudo apt install cmake
  1. call install.py
cd /home/rongshen/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
python3 ./install.py --java-completer
  1. restart nvim

setup surround

install:

git clone https://tpope.io/vim/surround.git  ~/.vim/bundle/surround

shortcuts:

  • add surround on the line: yss + character
  • add surround on the word: ysiw + character: ysiw + “
  • change surround: cs + original character + replace character
  • remove surround: ds + character
  • multiple line surround: shift + v + shift + s + character” V + select lines + S + “

easy motion

leader + f : jump to character leader + w : jump to word leader + s : jump to 2 characters - you type 2 in command line leader + L : move to line

move to pathogen

  1. Install Pathogen:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim
  1. enable Pathogen

in ~/.vimrc add “execute pathogen#infect()”

  1. Install plugins

clone whatever plugins you want into ~/.vim/bundle folder

git clone https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree.git ~/.vim/bundle/nerdtree

Here is the plugins that I installed
