vi/vim coding setup

[ayu]

I finally got fed up with my code looking like shit when writing a lot of code in vim, so I took some time to fix the perfect settings for me

This is my current "draft", and I might change it later (I'll update this thread if I do).

Code: Select all

syntax on
filetype indent on
set nowrap
set number
set smartindent
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
autocmd FileType php set omnifunc=phpcomplete#CompletePHP
autocmd FileType javascript set omnifunc=javascriptcomplete#CompleteJS
autocmd FileType html set omnifunc=htmlcomplete#CompleteTags
autocmd FileType css set omnifunc=csscomplete#CompleteCSS
autocmd FileType xml set omnifunc=xmlcomplete#CompleteTags
autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete
autocmd FileType c set omnifunc=ccomplete#Complete

If you, like me, fixed these settings after writing loads of code, you can fix the indentation with the following command

Code: Select all

gg=G

Also, if it doesn't work completely, setting the file type will help sometimes.
I was writing an HTML document while doing this, so all I did was

Code: Select all

set ft=html

and then I did gg=G again to tidy it up

I still use vim. But I would like to recommend Sublime 2 and 3 now as well, as I use this these days when writing scripts.

I don't write code anymore, but here's my vim's remnants of the past, it may have hardcoded dependencies(I hope not), so copy/paste may not work 100%

(oh and I think powerline requires patched fonts on OS X)

Code: Select all

cats, what would you recommend in 2018?

I still use, and recommend, Sublime

But a lot of people are talking about Atom now -> https://atom.io/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For my servers it's still vim though.

I recently switched from Sublime to Visual Studio Code. So far so good

Looks nice! : D

For the record, what I generally use for coding:

Python -> PyCharm
PHP -> PhpStorm
Java -> IntelliJ
C# -> Visual Studio 2017

I mainly sit with PHP these days in my spare time, and since I don't have an assignment at work where I can use PHP, the license for PhpStorm expired . So for now I'm using Sublime for PHP again, until I can switch back to storm

I really like atom too, it does have a vim editing mode plugin, as to everyone else I believe.

I have heard very good things about VSCode, and both of them are actually based on Electron framework(which is written on top of Node.js runtime). So all the view rendering is actually done in HTML5/CSS behind the scenes. It is a fine example of capabilities of HTML5 markup language.

I do use Pycharm and Rubymine from Jetbrains, I really love the model dependency diagrams feature.

And PHP? Interesting? I heard php7 had 14x performance gains in execution without any code changes, seems like Laravel is quite popular these days as well.

Yeah I love PHP.
It has its downsides of course, but PHP7 and Laravel is so worth it.
Easy to setup and do stuff with, and fun to work with.

And I love all the new web tech that has come and that is coming soon (Like web assembly).
Node.js, Web sockets, Redis, Micro services and what not.
It's a really fun field to poke around in
