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#.

+32  A: 

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.

Greg Hewgill
You mean this is similar to :set paste, p, :set nopaste ?
hyperboreean
As far as I know, the :set paste option doesn't have any effect on the p command, it only affects text typed (or pasted through a terminal) in insert mode. So no, it's a different feature.
Greg Hewgill
Shouldn't be upvoting for this, because it's not answering the question, but I like it very much ;)

I use the following to keep all the temporary and backup files in one place:

set backup
set backupdir=~/.vim/backup
set directory=~/.vim/tmp

Saves cluttering working directories all over the place.

You will have to create these directories first, vim will not create them for you.

Harley
I should mention you'll have to create those directories yourself, vim won't do it for you.
Harley
Cool idea. I think I'm going to go edit mine right now.
antik
Does this handle multiple identical files properly? (e.g. if you're editing several different branches of the same code)
yungchin
No, this will overwrite old backup files with the same name. If anyone has a way around this, let me know.
Harley
Zsolt Botykai
That would work, but I think it would give you a new backup file every single time you saved. Depending on what you want that may be great or terrible. Very handy tip though. Would be good to be able to set the backupext (bex) to the full path, but I can't find any way to do that.
Harley
And after I type that I see the wikia tip you link to has the ability to save the full path under the backup dir, along with a bunch of other stuff.

I'm on OS X, so some of these might have better defaults on other platforms, but regardless:

syntax on
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
trenton
You might want to look up `softtabstop` and use that instead of `tabstop`. Leaving `tabstop` at its default value of 8 will help when reading files that others have created with tabs.

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&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,

+2  A: 

Well, you'll have to scavenge my configs yourself. Have fun. Mostly it's just my desired setup, including mappings and random syntax-relevant stuff, as well as folding setup and some plugin configuration, a tex-compilation parser etc.

BTW, something I found extremely useful is "highlight word under cursor":

 highlight flicker cterm=bold ctermfg=white
 au CursorMoved <buffer> exe 'match flicker /\V\<'.escape(expand('<cword>'), '/').'\>/'

Note that only cterm and termfg are used, because I don't use gvim. If you want that to work in gvim just replac them with gui and guifg, respectively.

How to get it working with multiple windows opened? It seems to work only with the main, launched as first, buffer.

map = }{!}fmt^M}
map + }{!}fmt -p '> '^M}
set showmatch

= is for reformatting normal paragraphs. + is for reformatting paragraphs in quoted emails. showmatch is for flashing the matching parenthesis/bracket when I type a close parenthesis or bracket.

I've tried to keep my .vimrc as generally useful as possible.

A handy trick in there is a handler for .gpg files to edit them securely:

au BufNewFile,BufReadPre *.gpg :set secure vimi= noswap noback nowriteback hist=0 binary
au BufReadPost *.gpg :%!gpg -d 2>/dev/null
au BufWritePre *.gpg :%!gpg -e -r '[email protected]' 2>/dev/null
au BufWritePost *.gpg u

I use cscope from within vim (making great use of the multiple buffers). I use control-K to initiate most of the commands (stolen from ctags as I recall). Also, I've already generated the .cscope.out file.

if has("cscope")

set cscopeprg=/usr/local/bin/cscope
set cscopetagorder=0
set cscopetag
set cscopepathcomp=3
set nocscopeverbose
cs add .cscope.out
set csverb

Use the first available 'tags' file in the directory tree:

:set tags=tags;/

Left and right are for switching buffers, not moving the cursor:

map <right> <ESC>:bn<RETURN>
map <left> <ESC>:bp<RETURN>

Disable search highlighting with a single keypress:

map - :nohls<cr>

Misc. settings:

  1. Turn off annoying error bells:

    set noerrorbells
    set visualbell
    set t_vb=
    
  2. Make cursor move as expected with wrapped lines:

    inoremap <Down> <C-o>gj
    inoremap <Up> <C-o>gk
    
  3. Lookup ctags "tags" file up the directory, until one is found:

    set tags=tags;/
    
  4. Display SCons files wiith Python syntax:

    autocmd BufReadPre,BufNewFile SConstruct set filetype=python
    autocmd BufReadPre,BufNewFile SConscript set filetype=python
    
Alex B
Add #!/usr/bin/python to the SConstruct file, it will trigger Vim's built in file type detection magic
rq
should be "autocmd BufReadPre,BufNewFile SConstruct set filetype=python" to handle creating new files as well

1) I like a statusline (with the filename, ascii value (decimal), hex value, and the standard lines, cols, and %):

set statusline=%t%h%m%r%=[%b\ 0x%02B]\ \ \ %l,%c%V\ %P
" Always show a status line
set laststatus=2
"make the command line 1 line high
set cmdheight=1

2) I also like mappings for split windows.

" <space> switches to the next window (give it a second)
" <space>n switches to the next window
" <space><space> switches to the next window and maximizes it
" <space>= Equalizes the size of all windows
" + Increases the size of the current window
" - Decreases the size of the current window

 :map <space> <c-W>w
:map <space>n <c-W>w
:map <space><space> <c-W>w<c-W>_
:map <space>= <c-W>=
if bufwinnr(1)

sixtyfootersdude
@Svante, normally I would agree, except I have this in my command also, I tend to save often or save/quit often. Often my pinkie is just a fraction of a second too slow on lifting off the shift key and BAM one or the other end up being capitalized, its annoying!
Pharaun
vi was written on and for the ADM3A terminal, which had a designated key for colon (:) so you did not need to press shift. If you remap a key that's not normally used at all in normal / visual mode, like the space bar, you won't run into this problem as much. nnoremap <Space> : and vnomap <Space> :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Terminal_ADM3A.svg

But why 3, set shiftwidth=3, set softtabstop=3... maybe 2 or 4 but why 3?
Johan
Just wondering, but won't mapping jj to <Esc> give you a slight lag when hitting j in insert mode?
sykora
@sykora: yes, but as soon as you type another char (that isn't j) it will appear. I do the same thing, but instead with jk, as I think hitting jk is faster than hitting jj. Only times this has affected me is typing out the alphabet, so maybe kj you be better.
nanothief
@Johan: because 'three's a magic number'. :) Actually, that's just bikeshedding but I prefer three too. :)

I'm not the most advanced vim'er in the world, but here's a few I've picked up

function! Mosh_Tab_Or_Complete()
    if col('.')>1 && strpart( getline('.'), col('.')-2, 3 ) =~ '^\w'
        return "\<C-N>"
    else

endfunction

inoremap <Tab> <C-R>=Mosh_Tab_Or_Complete()<CR>

Makes the tab-autocomplete figure out whether you want to place a word there or an actual tab(4 spaces).

map cc :.,$s/^ *//<CR>

Remove all opening whitespace from here to the end of the file. For some reason I find this useful a lot.

set nu! 
set nobackup

Show line numbers and don't create those annoying backup files. I've never restored anything from an old backup anyways.

imap ii <C-[>

While in insert, press i twice to go to command mode. I've never come across a word or variable with 2 i's in a row, and this way I don't have to have my fingers leave the home row or press multiple keys to switch back and forth.

Whaledawg
Interesting mapping of ii ... very interesting. It's a pretty cool idea - though I'd be worried that it would severely impact my ability to use a 'vanilla' vim should I have to.
thomasrutter
I've been doing the same thing with ;; for a long time, and haven't run into any problems. When forced to use vanilla vi/vim I immediately remember to use the stupid [esc] key (which was one reason I hated vim for so many years!). To me, this setting is absolutely essential. I'd never willingly use vi(m) without it. <br>And I like the idea of using 'ii' instead of ';;': more intuitive, almost like a toggle.

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.

Herbert Sitz
great find! i like using built in stuff more ^_^. plus this does not fail if there is a | in the filename.
Javed Ahamed
autochdir has some annoyances that I could never work around (changing directory before loading a file given on the command line), and I read elsewhere here on SO about `autocmd BufEnter * silent! lcd %:p:h:gs/ /\\ /` which does the same basic thing but doesn't cripple the command line.

I've created my own syntax for my to do or checklist documents which highlights things like

I have the document in ./syntax/ as fc_comdoc.vim

in vimrc to set this syntax for anything with my custom extension .txtcd or .txtap

My .vimrc includes (among other, more usefull things) the following line:

set statusline=%2*%n\|%<%*%-.40F%2*\|\ %2*%M\ %3*%=%1*\ %1*%2.6l%2*x%1*%1.9(%c%V%)%2*[%1*%P%2*]%1*%2B

I got bored while learning for my high school finals.

Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski
can you please explain what this does?

It shows a statusline with buffer number, file name, modification status, position within the buffer and a hex code of the character under cursor. Nicely formatted and colored.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most valuable. The 2 lines in my .vimrc that are totally indispensable:

nore ; :
nore , ;
William Pursell
Ten years with this in your vimrc will save a lot of pinky pain!
DaedalusFall
I did `nore \ ;` instead since I use `,` as my `<leader>`
Wahnfrieden
But what does it do ? :)
Henrik Bjørnskov
semi-colon is a rarely used command. colon is an extremely common command, used to enter command-line mode. Remapping one to the other allows you to enter command-line mode without hitting the shift key, thus saving the muscles in your little fingers.
William Pursell
On French keyboards you don't need 'shift' to write ',', ';' and ':'... But '\', '[' and ']' are a real pain.

Just saw this now:

I found it in ViEmu Blog and I really dig this. A short explanation - It makes Esc turn off search highlight in normal mode.

I tried this for a while, but then found it was causing lines to be deleted when I pressed the down arrow, immediately after starting vim. Removing this line stopped it happening.

Almost everything is here. It is mainly programming oriented, in C++ in particular.

The return, backspace, spacebar and hyphen keys aren't bound to anything useful, so I map them to navigate more conveniently through the document:

I made a function that automatically sends your text to a private pastebin.

let g:pfx='' " prefix for private pastebin.

function PBSubmit()
python << EOF
import vim
import urllib2 as url
import urllib

pfx = vim.eval( 'g:pfx' )

URL = 'http://'

if pfx == '':
    URL += 'pastebin.com/pastebin.php'
else:
    URL += pfx + '.pastebin.com/pastebin.php'

data = urllib.urlencode( {  'code2': '\n'.join( vim.current.buffer ).decode( 'utf-8' ).encode( 'latin-1' ),
                            'email': '',
                            'expiry': 'd',
                            'format': 'text',
                            'parent_pid': '',
                            'paste': 'Send',
                            'poster': '' } )

url.urlopen( URL, data )

print 'Submitted to ' + URL
EOF
endfunction

My favorite bit of my .vimrc is a set of mappings for working with macros:

nnoremap <Leader>qa mqGo<Esc>"ap
nnoremap <Leader>qb mqGo<Esc>"bp
nnoremap <Leader>qc mqGo<Esc>"cp
<SNIP>
nnoremap <Leader>qz mqGo<Esc>"zp

nnoremap <Leader>Qa G0"ad$dd'q
nnoremap <Leader>Qb G0"bd$dd'q
nnoremap <Leader>Qc G0"cd$dd'q
<SNIP>
nnoremap <Leader>Qz G0"zd$dd'q

With this \q[a-z] will mark your location, and print the contents of the given register at the bottom of the current file and \Q[a-z] will put the contents of the last line into the given register and go back to your marked location. Makes it really easy to edit a macro or copy and tweak one macro into a new register.

My .vimrc, the plugins i use and other tweaks are customized to help me with the tasks i preform most frequently:

  • Use Mutt/Vim to read/write emails
  • Write C code under GNU/Linux, usually with glib, gobject, gstreamer
  • Browse/Read C source code
  • Work with Python, Ruby on Rails or Bash scripts
  • Develop web applications with HTML, Javascript, CSS

I have some more info about my Vim configuration here

Some of my favorite customizations that I haven't found to be all too common:

" Windows *********************************************************************"
set equalalways           " Multiple windows, when created, are equal in size"
set splitbelow splitright " Put the new windows to the right/bottom"

" Insert new line in command mode *********************************************"
map <S-Enter> O<ESC> " Insert above current line"
map <Enter> o<ESC>   " Insert below current line"

" After selecting something in visual mode and shifting, I still want that"
" selection intact ************************************************************"

I have this in my ~/.vim/after/syntax/vim.vim file:

What it does is:

  • highlights the word blue in the color blue
  • highlights the wrod red in the color red
  • etc

Ie: so if you go:

highlight JakeRedKeywords cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=black ctermfg=Red

The word red will be red and the word black will be black.

Here is the code:

syn cluster vimHiCtermColors contains=vimHiCtermColorBlack,vimHiCtermColorBlue,vimHiCtermColorBrown,vimHiCtermColorCyan,vimHiCtermColorDarkBlue,vimHiCtermColorDarkcyan,vimHiCtermColorDarkgray,vimHiCtermColorDarkgreen,vimHiCtermColorDarkgrey,vimHiCtermColorDarkmagenta,vimHiCtermColorDarkred,vimHiCtermColorDarkyellow,vimHiCtermColorGray,vimHiCtermColorGreen,vimHiCtermColorGrey,vimHiCtermColorLightblue,vimHiCtermColorLightcyan,vimHiCtermColorLightgray,vimHiCtermColorLightgreen,vimHiCtermColorLightgrey,vimHiCtermColorLightmagenta,vimHiCtermColorLightred,vimHiCtermColorMagenta,vimHiCtermColorRed,vimHiCtermColorWhite,vimHiCtermColorYellow

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("\<C-\>\<C-N>")
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

My 242-line .vimrc is not that interesting, but since nobody mentioned it, I felt like I must share the two most important mappings that have enhanced my workflow besides the default mappings:

map <C-j> :bprev<CR>
map <C-k> :bnext<CR>
set hidden " this will go along

Seriously, switching buffers is the thing to do very often. Windows, sure, but everything doesn't fit the screen so nicely.

Similar set of maps for quick browsing of errors (see quickfix) and grep results:

map <C-n> :cn<CR>
map <C-m> :cp<CR>

Simple, effortless and efficient.

progo
I have not switched between buffers much, since Vim got tab support. I have the "back" and "forward" extra keys on my keyboard mapped to the tab navigation commands.
Don Reba
@Don Reba, you know, the tabs just replicate some of the buffers' functionality. So there's no much difference to "use" either buffers or tabs. Purists will say that tabs are meant to organize tasks to separate regions and nothing more. All I say is that buffers have all the convenience and that I have left using tabs, reserving them to something else should something higher abstraction come in need.:)

The line I can't live without and generally first appearing in my .vimrc:

" prevent switch to Replece mode if <Insert> pressed in insert mode
imap <Insert> <Nop>

Another bit I can't live without is preserving the current line when hitting PgDown/PgUp:

map <silent> <PageUp> 1000<C-U>
map <silent> <PageDown> 1000<C-D>
imap <silent> <PageUp> <C-O>1000<C-U>
imap <silent> <PageDown> <C-O>1000<C-D>
set nostartofline

Disable the annoying matching parentheses highlighting:

set noshowmatch
let loaded_matchparen = 1

Disable syntax highlighting when editing huge (>4MB) files:

au BufReadPost *        if getfsize(bufname("%")) > 4*1024*1024 |
\                               set syntax= |
\                       endif

And finally my simple in-line calculator:

function CalcX(line_num)
        let l = getline(a:line_num)
        let expr = substitute( l, " *=.*$","","" )
        exec ":let g:tmp_calcx = ".expr
        call setline(a:line_num, expr." = ".g:tmp_calcx)
endfunction
:map <silent> <F11> :call CalcX(".")<CR>
