My Dotfiles

These are dotfiles that I use to make my workflow the most efficient and comfortable. Feel free to fork and customize!

Screenshot

TMUX

• Prefix is set to CTRL-A. I mapped my CAPS button to CTRL for quick access.

• Smart pane switching to easily move between tmux/vim panes: Prefix-h,j,k,l.

• Panes are created with - (horizontal split) and | (vertical split).

• Resize panes using Prefix-H,J,K,L.

• Vim copy / pasting (in copy mode): Prefix-v to start, Prefix-y to copy, prefix-P (uppercase P) to paste.

• Control-r for reverse command history search (uses fzf)

• Control-t fuzzy finds files in a directory (uses fzf)

• Option select to copy/paste with clipboard

NEOVIM

Plug-ins:

Fuzzy Find (fzf)

• Activate with Control-t.

• Cancel with Control-c.

Autocomplete (deoplete)

• While typing, press Control-n to see possible completions.

• Esc to cancel.

Directory Tree Viewer (NERDTree)

• Toggle with ',' followed by 'n' 't'.

• Refresh with ',' followed by 'n' 'r'.

• Toggle hidden files with Shift i.

Undo Tree (undotree)

• View undo history with F5.

Commenting (vim-commentary)

• To toggle comments, press 'g' 'c' on a highlighted block of code.

Rails Testing (vim-test)

• Run nearest test, ',' followed by 'r' 'n'
• Run tests in whole file, ',' followed by 'r' 'f'
• Run last test, ',' followed by 'r' 'l'

Features:

• Persistant undos (allows undos even after closing and reopening a file)

• No need to press shift while typing : (remaps ; to :)

• Use F2 to toggle paste mode

• Abort vim search by double tapping ESC

• Open/close folds with SPACE

• Use 'j' 'k' to ESCAPE (remaps jk to ESC)

• Save session with ',' 's'. Use vim -S to restore

• Reformat your whole file with 'cu' (clean-up)

• Highlights trailing whitespace or extralong lines

• Removes trailing whitespace on save

iTerm Settings

• For the same terminal color theme as vim: set the theme to base16-oceanicnext.dark.256.itermcolors

• Automatically join your running tmux session by sending the following text at start: tmux attach -t mysession || tmux new -s mysession

Steps to adapt

1. Fork / clone the repo

2. Run the install shell script: ./install If you get an error, you might need to make the install script executable: chmod u+x install.sh

3. Install the tmux plugins by typing: Prefix-I

4. Open vim and enter: :PlugInstall If you get errors installing the vim plugins, make sure you have installed the xcode dev tools: xcode-select --install

5. Restart your terminal

Enjoy! ✌
