dotvim

A modern, lightweight configuration for neovim.

prerequisites

If you're on macOS, the easiest way to acquire the right versions of things is to use Homebrew:

neovim:

brew install neovim
brew install python3
pip3 install neovim

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codykrieger/dotvim/master/bootstrap.sh -o - | sh

Leader key set to comma ,, not backslash \
Syntax-aware auto-indent
Sane default tab/space and tab width settings for tons of different languages
(Asynchronous!) source code linting and autocomplete for a bunch of languages
Remembers last location in a given file
~/.vim/backup directory for holding .swp files, rather than littering them all over your filesystem
Allows overrides in ~/.vimrc.local for stuff you don't want to check in to source control

ctrl-n and ctrl-m for "bubbling" lines of text up and down, respectively, in normal, insert, and visual modes (via the unimpaired plug-in)
ctrl-k for deleting lines (i.e. dd)
F1 remapped to :nohl to turn off search highlighting
<leader>e autocompletion to the current dir to edit a file
<leader>te autocompletion to the current dir to edit a file in a new tab
ctrl-a to jump to the beginning and ctrl-e to jump to the end of a line in command mode, just like in a shell
gp to select the thing you just changed (or pasted) when in normal mode
