Setup

The following setup is pretty custom, but works pretty good for me.

The only caveat is that it requires a version of Vim compiled with ruby support, so you need to install it through Homebrew:

brew install macvim --override-system-vim

Next, you need to install a few plugins:

Pressing gf is usually a good shortcut to open a file:
- on model names (as symbols or class names) will take you to the file
- on partial calls it will open the partial
Pressing :R<tab> will give you all available commands
:R commands can be customized, see these custom extensions for Backbone

First step is creating a dotfiles directory:

cd ~/dev/
mkdir dotfiles

Then we move and symlink our .vimrc file":

mv ~/.vimrc dotfiles/vimrc
ln -s ~/dev/dotfiles/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Vim provides a lot of functionality out of the box, however some plugins are extremely powerful and can make everything even better. Here are some:

Ctrlp: fuzzy finder, supports file and tag based search.
Snipmate: heavily inspired by Textmate, tab completion based on snippet files that can be language specific.
The silver searcher: vim bindings for the crazy fast ack alternative.
TComment: toggle comments in any language.
