Also back to vi... MacVim actually

geek

Some of my friends are going back to vi like me, for instance Hibernate’s Emmanuel and IzPack’s Julien. I also mentioned a few good links about that move on the French Les Castcodeurs podcast. And to be precise, I’m using MacVim on my MacBook Pro laptop, but also vim on the command-line.

Emmanuel and Julien gave some good tips and links too, and like Julien, I’m going to show you my current .vimrc in case anyone’s interested:

let mapleader = ","
let g:mapleader=","

if has("gui_running")
   color solarized
endif

set background=dark

set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4

set ai "Auto indent

set ruler

set so=7

filetype on
filetype indent on
filetype plugin on

set guifont=Inconsolata:h16

autocmd! bufwritepost .vimrc source ~/.vimrc

    let gfname=@%

    let gcmd = ':!groovy ' . gfname . ' > ' . gtmpf

endfunction
