VIM Setup

• Use macvim
• brew install macvim --override-system-vim
  or install without macvim
• brew install mercurial
• brew install vim

VIM Bundles using vundle

• Setup your vim to use vundle to install bundles: https://github.com/gmarik/vundle

.vimrc

• Refer to my dotfiles for .vimrc: https://github.com/stevenyap/dotfiles
• Read the .vimrc for all the bundles and key remaps

cTags

• cTags library allows indexing and fast searching of code classes and methods
• To install, brew install ctags
• Use Vim-tags to auto-magically tag your codes: https://github.com/szw/vim-tags
• cTags does not support coffee/scss/css out-of-the-box, so get the .ctags file from my dotfile github and put it at ~/.ctags

RVM

• If you are using ZSH you may find that MacVim is not loading your rvm configuration correctly. MacVim does not source the .zshrc file, but will source the .zshenv file. Hence, just cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshenv.
  This is important for the proper running of rspec.
• Note that you have to cd into your working directory and then run mvim else RVM will not work with your VIM too.

Useful Shortcuts

<c-w>= : Resize all windows equally (it actually ignores NERDTree)
<c-w>x : Switch current buffet with another window

Rspec-Quickfix hack

class Object
  def vp(obj)
    file = binding.of_caller(1).eval('__FILE__')
    line = binding.of_caller(1).eval('__LINE__')
    puts "#{file}:#{line}: warning: #{obj.inspect}"
  end
