So, I recently spent a week in vanilla emacs. I had fallen in love with org mode, but could totally do without the foreign atmosphere of the editor itself. I went back to vim and wiped my ~/.vim and ~/.vimrc to start afresh after all these years. I started with vimorganizer to give me the most complete org mode experience to be had in vim. I modified this package to my own needs as detailed in my
so that my agenda was more sane. I also installed
as I use LaTeX as my sole word processor. As it is very useful to have a shell available inside your editor, I also installed
. For easy templating of arbitrary filetype boilerplate,
is the plugin I have installed I made some additional templates for custom file types I use and it works great. There are plenty of times I have wanted to browse gopher from vim, especially when writing a phlog post. So, for this, I installed
. Now, this will not surf gopher URLs without modification of the code, but it is trivial to correct this. For aesthetics I like powerline, but loath python and its slugishness. So I installed
instead. This plugin also let's you theme the tabline of vim. It is pretty snazzy IMHO. For a better look while writing markdown (such as this document), I installed
.
Along with plugins, I wrote some functions that do things like open my org agenda, move the split where I want it, open another tab to vimshell, etc. My current vim setup is the best I have ever had.
