The Forgetful Sheep: Thoughts of just about anything

Vim Configuration

VimVim is one of the greatest editors of all time. Here you can find my Vim config and other files that I have come across over the years. One of the greatest strengths of Vim is how customizable it is and this page is dedicated to all the tweaks and scripts that make Vim better. I use Vim on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux for those interested be sure to check out the MacVim page.

Configuration files

Here are my current configuration files for those interested. vimrc, gvimrc It is just the raw files, you should not use them as they containt very specific settings for macros and plugins I have installed. But they are useful and nice to see what other people are using (that’s how I’ve found some killer tips).

Other Vim Sections

This page was getting kind of crowded so I have split it into separate sections.

  • Hi,

    I just want to inform you that a add one global variable to your script “TaskList” and made a change on the “map” option. Of course, in my copy of your plugin. I used t for something else and I added a global variable to be able to change the key mapping in a setting flag.
