Requirements

Vim

This distribution is adapted to both Vim and NeoVim. For Vim, version should be 7.3+, and 8.0+ is recommended. For NeoVim, 0.1.5+ is recommended.

Git

All the installations are based on Git which is a famous distributed revision control system. If you use Windows, you may need install msysgit.

Ctags

Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. I recommend you to use Exuberant Ctags.

To use this distribution with less bugs, please get more suggestions from here.

Vim Tips

Learning Vim

A good learning method of Vim is vimtutor, a 30 minute tutorial that teaches the most basic Vim functionality hands-on.

To try it, just type vimtutor on terminal.
To practice vim skills, you can enable hard mode, and it will disable the arrow keys, the 'hjkl' keys, the page up/down keys, and a handful of other keys which allow one to rely on character-wise navigation.

To enable it, just type :call HardMode() in normal mode.
Another way to get familiar with Vim commands and settings is just rely on the strong help system of Vim.

It's easy and convenient to type :h or :help in Vim for help of whatever you want to know.
