Evan's Crafting Bench (aka dotfiles)

Configuration and setup for the tools and utilities I use regularly.

• vim
• tmux
• zsh
• typography

Installation

Simply run ./install

This take-anywhere configuration works MacOSX The installation will:

• Install key software using brew
• Install a tweaked out vim
• Install zsh
• Install tmux
• Symlink dotfiles to this directory

vim

Make sure the vim folder is symlinked to ~/.vim and vimrc is symlinked to ~/.vimrc

I use Vundle to manage vim packages. Check out the list of packages at the start of the vimrc file. Some categorized packages I use include:

Helps me see

• Powerline: Souped-up satus line
• CSS Color: Colored hex codes in CSS/LESS files
• CSS3 Syntax: CSS3 syntax highlighting
• HAML SASS SCSS: HAML, Sass, and Scss sytax highlighting
• Less: Less syntax highlighting
• Coffeescript: Coffeescript support for vim
• Markdown: Markdown syntax highlighting

Helps me search

• Grep: Grep plugin to vim

Helps me move

• NerdTree: File explorer in vim
• Rails: Ruby on Rails power tools
• Matchit: Extends % operator to match html and others
• Peepopen: Fast and fuzzy finder.

Helps me type

• Surround: Surround text easily
• Repeat: Repeats complex commands like regular ones
• Snipmate: Easy auto-filling snippets
• Sparkup: Super fast html writing
• TComment: Comment in and out lines

tmux

Terminal multiplexing ftw Take close note a the .tmux.conf file. Be sure it's symlinked to ~/.tmux.conf

Some significant sections of my tmux.conf

• The prefix is mapped to C-w. This is to make motions between tmux panes similar to moving between vim panes
• Motion mappings remapped to be very vim-like
• The reattach-to-user-namespace patch is needed to make copy and paste work on mac OSX
