What is in your vimrc

Question

Vi and Vim allow for really awesome customization  typically stored inside a  vimrc file  Typical features for a programmer would be syntax highlighting  smart indenting and so on   What other tricks for productive programming have you got  hidden in your  vimrc   I am mostly interested in refactorings  auto classes and similar productivity macros  especially for C

There isn t much actually in my  vimrc  even if it has 850 lines   Mostly settings and a few common and simple mappings that I was too lazy to extract into plugins   If you mean  template-files  by  auto-classes   I m using a template-expander plugin -- on this same site  you ll find the ftplugins I ve defined for C amp C   editing  some may be adapted to C  I guess   Regarding the refactoring aspect  there is a tip dedicated to this subject on http   vim wikia com   IIRC the example code is for C   It inspired me a refactoring plugin that still needs of lot of work  it needs to be refactored actually    You should have a look at the archives of vim mailing-list  specially the subjects about using vim as an effective IDE  Don t forget to have a look at  make  tags       HTH

When I launch gVim without arguments  I want it to open in my  project  directory  so that I can do  find etc   However  when I launch it with files  I don t want it to switch directory  I want it to stay right there  in part  so that it opens the file I want it to open     if argc      0    cd  PROJECT DIR endif   So that I can use  find from any file in the current project  I set up my path to look up the directory tree  til it finds src or scripts and descends into those  at least until it hits c  work which is the root of all of my projects   This allows me to open files in a project that is not current  i e  PROJECT DIR above specifies a different directory    set path  src    c  work scripts    c  work   So that I get automatic saving and reloading  and exiting of insert mode when gVim loses focus  as well as automatic checkout from Perforce when editing a readonly file     augroup AutoSaveGroup     autocmd      autocmd FocusLost         cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    wa     autocmd FileChangedRO     cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    silent  p4 edit   p     autocmd FileChangedRO     cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    w  augroup END  augroup OutOfInsert     autocmd      autocmd FocusLost   call feedkeys    lt C-  gt   lt C-N gt    augroup END   And finally  switch to the directory of the file in the current buffer so that it s easy to  e other files in that directory   augroup MiscellaneousTomStuff     autocmd        make up for the deficiencies in  autochdir      autocmd BufEnter   silent  lcd   p h gs        augroup END

Someone  viz  Frew  who posted above had this line    Automatically cd into the directory that the file is in    autocmd BufEnter   execute  chdir   escape expand    p h           I was doing something like that myself until I discovered the same thing could be accomplished with a built in setting   set autochdir   I think something similar has happened to me a few different times   Vim has so many different built-in settings and options that it s sometimes quicker and easier to roll-your-own than search the docs for the built-in way to do it

This isn t in my  vimrc file  but yesterday I learned about the  p command  This pastes the contents of a buffer just like p does  but it automatically adjusts the indent to match the line the cursor is on  This is excellent for moving code around

the status line of the usual standard file information but also includes additional things like warnings for  set paste  mixed indenting  trailing white space etc  Pretty useful if you re particularly anal about your code formatting   Furthermore and as shown in the screenshot  combining it with syntastic allows any syntax errors to be highlighted on it  assuming your language of choice has an associated syntax checker bundled
