How To Update Wim

If you used the recommended installation method, a simple git pull inside the wim directory is enough to update all the configs. Use the VimPlug commands to update the plugins. See: Misc Keybindings

If for some reason you corrupt or destroy the symlinks that are setup between the wim directory and the ~/.vim directory, you will only have to run the update.sh script that will be automatically generated after the initial installation.

What Are All These Set Options Doing

Setting Explanation
set emoji Enables emoji support.
set autochdir Automatically changes the working directory to the directory of the open file.
set hidden Allows switching between unsaved buffers without requiring to save them.
set modifiable Allows modifications to the buffer.
set conceallevel=0 Sets the level of concealing text. 0 means no concealment.
set concealcursor=n Conceals text in normal mode.
set scrolloff=6 Keeps 6 lines visible above and below the cursor when scrolling.
set autoread Automatically reads a file if it was modified outside of Vim.
set cmdheight=1 Sets the command line height to 1 line.
set foldmethod=manual Allows manual folding of code sections.
set foldlevel=0 Starts with all folds closed.
set foldclose=all Automatically closes all folds when moving out of them.
set path+=** Adds all subdirectories to the search path for files.
set noswapfile Disables swap file creation.
set autoindent Automatically indents new lines to match the previous line.
set ignorecase Ignores case in search patterns.
set incsearch Shows search results incrementally as you type.
set noerrorbells Disables error bells.

set tabstop=4 Sets the number of spaces that a tab character represents.
syntax on Enables syntax highlighting.
filetype plugin indent on Enables file type detection, plugin, and indent settings.

What If I Forget The Keybindings?

Either enter this wiki and consult the mappings tables, or read the Cheat40 file inside vim, or run the fzf :Maps command by pressing \<Leader\>M in normal mode.

How To Read The Cheat File?

Simply issue :Cheat40 inside Vim

How To Use An Alternative Keymap?

If you are bilingual, or wish to use a secondry keymap, do the following:

At line 594 of vimrc change g:alt_enabled = 0 to 1 to enable the alt keymap functions Then use :call ListKeymapFiles() to find your desired keymap. Change the value of g:alt_keymap = 'persian' to match your language keymap.

Now you can use C-p in normal mode and insert mode to change your keymap and still be able to use the usual vim normal commands.

ZWNJ

You can uncomment the two lines at line 590 of the vimrc to enable vim to hide/conceal the ZWNJ character and replace it with | sign.

call matchadd('Conceal', '%u200c', 10, -1, {'conceal':'|'}) set conceallevel=2 concealcursor=nv

Plugins Guide

This plugins guide is not about including a Tl;Dr to every plugin! Yet it will cover some of the important ones that are not covered in the tables below. You can always check out the individual repos of each plugin and see their README

Leaderf

This is one of the most useful plugins. Although fzf can also do most of these things, I prefer to keep them both around. Wim doesn't provide any mappings for leaderf, and I advise you against it! use leaderf from Vim's Ex Mode (command mode).

Example: fuzzy match file names :Leaderf file fuzzy match history :Leaderf mru etc ...

file                search files
tag                 navigate tags using the tags file

self                execute the commands of itself
bufTag              navigate tags in the buffer
buffer              search buffers
rg                  grep using rg

Stargate

Literally magic! Written in vim9script, super fast and super efficient! type \f in normal mode, followed by a character you want to jump to and follow the hints.

See: https://github.com/monkoose/vim9-stargate

Surround

See: https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround

vimdict

My own humble plugin for integrating dict cli into vim in a seamless way.

You can either place your cursor on a word and issue :Dict, or optionally map it to a key: nnoremap \<F2\> :Dict\<CR\>

See: https://github.com/wolandark/vimdict

vim-ddgpb

Another one of my own plugins. Yea the name is trash but its pretty useful. Once enabled, you can search a word under the cursor in your browser, or a chunk of text that is visually selected. This plugin also allows you to submit a visually selected text to the 0x0.st paste bin.

This plugin binds \s and \p and F3 key for visual search, paste bin and word under cursor respectively.

See: https://github.com/wolandark/vim-ddgpb/tree/master

vim-live-server

Yet another one of my own plugins.😁 A liveserver plugin for Vim.

See: https://github.com/wolandark/vim-live-server

commentary

Use [count]gc[motion] to comment out code.

Example: 3gcj will comment out 3 lines to the direction of j, which is down. gcc will comment whole lines. gcG will comment from current line to the end of the file. etc ...

See: https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary

Note: if you're using Vim 9.1+, there is an internal comment plugin from habamax which is writen in vim9script. To use that instead of tpop's commentary do the following:

  • Disable commentary by commenting out it's entry in the plugins section of the vimrc

  • Inside Vim, issue: :packadd comment

  • Use the internal comment plugin the same way as commentary. The Keybindings are the same.

  • To make the addition of the plugin permanent, add packadd comment to the end of the vimrc

rsi

rsi is another tpop plugin that provides basic readline bindings in vim's insert mode. Such as C-a to go to the beginning of the line, C-e to go to the end of the line etc ...

See: https://github.com/tpope/vim-rsi/blob/master/doc/rsi.txt

CoC

coc.nvim is really straight Forward LSP client. If you want to add LSP support for a language, you only have to install the appropriate LSP server. Consult the list here and pick a language server to install,

Then simply install it by following the guide on the README which is usually something like, :CocInstall coc-pyright or :CocInstall coc-css etc ...

When you install the language server, you can start using it right away. CoC usually doesn't need much messing around with to get things to work properly, unlike most other similar plugins.

To avoid going to the browser, you can also use coc-marketplace. See #coc-marketplace

coc-marketplace

Issue this command: CocList marketplace

Then start searching for the language server or programming language that you need. Press enter and install the language server.

coc-explorer

explorer is coc's file explorer. I personally think they are much better ways to open files than to waste time with a file explorer, but still, coc-explorer is automatically installed in Wim.

Inside explorer window, press ? to see the commands. You can make dirs, files, rename, copy, paste etc from explorer
