Awesome

Maximum Awesome

Config files for vim and tmux, lovingly tended by a small subculture of peace-loving hippies. Built for Mac OS X.

What's in it?

• MacVim (independent or for use in a terminal)
• iTerm 2
• tmux
• Awesome syntax highlighting with the Solarized color scheme
• Want to know more? Fly Vim, First Class

vim

The following assume your leader key is set to ,.

You can change your leader key using the following setting in your .vimrc:

let mapleader=','

• ,d brings up NERDTree, a sidebar buffer for navigating and manipulating files
• ,t brings up ctrlp.vim, a project file filter for easily opening specific files
• ,b restricts ctrlp.vim to open buffers
• ,a starts project search with ag.vim using the silver searcher (like ack, but faster)
• ds/cs delete/change surrounding characters (e.g. "Hey!" + ds" = Hey!, "Hey!" + cs"' = 'Hey!') with vim-surround
• gcc toggles current line comment
• gc toggles visual selection comment lines
• vii/vai visually select in or around the cursor's indent
• Vp/vp replaces visual selection with default register without yanking selected text (works with any visual selection)
• ,[space] strips trailing whitespace
• <C-]> jump to definition using ctags
• ,l begins aligning lines on a string, usually used as ,l= to align assignments
• <C-hjkl> move between windows, shorthand for <C-w> hjkl

tmux

• <C-a> is the prefix
• mouse scroll initiates tmux scroll
• prefix v makes a vertical split
• prefix s makes a horizontal split

If you have three or more panes:

• prefix + opens up the main-horizontal-layout
• prefix = opens up the main-vertical-layout

You can adjust the size of the smaller panes in tmux.conf by lowering or increasing the other-pane-height and other-pane-width options.

Install

rake

Update

rake

This will update all installed plugins using Vundle's :PluginInstall! command. Any errors encountered during this process may be resolved by clearing out the problematic directories in ~/.vim/bundle. :help PluginInstall provides more detailed information about Vundle.

Customize

In your home directory, Maximum Awesome creates .vimrc.local, .vimrc.bundles.local and .tmux.conf.local files where you can customize Vim and tmux to your heart’s content. However, we’d love to incorporate your changes and improve Vim and tmux for everyone, so feel free to fork Maximum Awesome and open some pull requests!

Uninstall

rake uninstall

Note that this won't remove everything, but your vim configuration should be reset to whatever it was before installing. Some uninstallation steps will be manual.

Contribute

Before creating your pull request, consider whether the feature you want to add is something that you think every user of maximum-awesome should have. Is it support for a very common language people would ordinarily use vim to write? Is it a useful utility that does not change many defaults and composes well with other parts of maximum-awesome? If so then perhaps it would be a good fit. If not, perhaps keep it in your *.local files. This does not apply to bug fixes.

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
