Triglav's Vim files

Download

Clone the repository and download submodules:

$ cd ~/.vim
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Get the most recent version of submodules:

$ git submodule foreach git checkout master

Installation

Create .vimrc link in your home directory:

$ ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

Generate Vim doc tags:

:call pathogen#helptags()

Fonts

I am using DejaVu Sans Mono fonts on every platform.

You can get them for free at: http://dejavu-fonts.org

Windows

• use ~/vimfiles instead of ~/.vim
• create rather a hard link (without the -s flag) instead
• set enviroment variable GITDIR to the location of your git.exe
• set enviroment variable PERLDIR to the location of your perl.exe and ack-grep script file (download it from http://betterthangrep.com/ack-standalone)
