Vim Plugins Configuration

To configure some useful plugins for vim, here is a tutorial for reference.

---

Vundle

See detailed information at Vundle.Vim

Introduction

Vundle is short for Vim bundle and is a Vim plugin manager, which allows you to better manage your plugins.

Installation

Use git to install Vundle at first.

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

After this step you can see Vundle.Vim in your path ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim.

Configuration

After installation, you need to open your ~/.vimrc and edit it by adding these following content into it:

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'

" The following are examples of different formats supported.
" Keep Plugin commands between vundle#begin/end.
" plugin on GitHub repo
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
" plugin from http://vim-scripts.org/vim/scripts.html
" Plugin 'L9'
" Git plugin not hosted on GitHub
Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
" git repos on your local machine (i.e. when working on your own plugin)
Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'
" The sparkup vim script is in a subdirectory of this repo called vim.
" Pass the path to set the runtimepath properly.
Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
" Install L9 and avoid a Naming conflict if you've already installed a
" different version somewhere else.
" Plugin 'ascenator/L9', {'name': 'newL9'}

" All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required
" To ignore plugin indent changes, instead use:
"filetype plugin on
"
" Brief help
" :PluginList       - lists configured plugins
" :PluginInstall    - installs plugins; append `!` to update or just :PluginUpdate
" :PluginSearch foo - searches for foo; append `!` to refresh local cache
" :PluginClean      - confirms removal of unused plugins; append `!` to auto-approve removal
"
" see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ
" Put your non-Plugin stuff after this line

And you can remove some unneeded plugins in the .vimrc file by deleting their sentences.

Usage

After installing and configuring, you can now use Vundle to search, install and better manage your Vim plugins.

To install plugins, you can:

• Launch vim and run :PluginInstall.
• Install from command line by vim + PluginInstall +qall.

YouCompleteMe(YCM)

See detailed information at YouCompleteMe.

Introduction

YouCompleteMe is a code-completion plugin in Vim.

Then save .vimrc and open vim and use :PluginInstall and wait until it finished.

You can check whether it is installed by the command :PluginList in Vim.

Then enter the YCM working folder:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe

Then install submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Reference:CSDN

However, the installation from above only support C completion. If more functions are needed, you can run:

./install.py --all # All language installation.

./install.py --clangd-completer # C code-completion with better completion.

./install.py --clangd-completer will be completed if these following are added to ~/.vimrc:

" Add these to your .vimrc

let g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf='~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/.ycm_extra_conf.py'
