cat ~/.vimrc

My vim8 setup to expedite my workflow. Planning on moving to SpaceVim as my IDE after I explore a few more plugins.

Manually install

git clone [email protected]:topunix/vimrc.git

ln -s topunix/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

… then run the following in Vim:

:source %
:PlugInstall

Mappings/Shortcuts

I try to keep things as simple as possible, so I can focus more on coding problems. Too many mappings and plugins are hard for me to remember. I don't claim that my setup is a brilliant example of vim usage. It just reflects how I use vim.
