Before anything else, make sure you install Vundle before using the vimrc file, otherwise you'll just get tonnes of errors and non of the magic that comes with vim.

To install Vundle:

$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

Some bits inspired by https://github.com/amix/vimrc/blob/master/vimrcs/extended.vim

To install the .vimrc file, just clone this repo and mv /vim-files/.vimrc ~ along with the colors repo. After you install Vundle, just run :BundleInstall

brew install zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Here are some added features that I have installed. And a short summary of what it does.

Easymotion

This is a bundle I've started using to move quickly between lines. To start, press \\ followed by w or any of the motion keys. What this will do is highlight words you can jump to by pressing a single letter or ; followed by a letter

@todo, add sample image.

Python Docs

This is cool if you code in python. If you have your cursor over some python functions or what not, if you press K you will open a split that shows you the documentation of the function

Gundo

Make some edits, make some mistakes. Want to see all your undo history? Press <f5>!!! It shows you diffs, magic I know.

Files on Files on Files

My vimrc also loves tabs and directory trees. Type :Nerdtree in vim and you'll see al your files. If you want to go faster, experiment with \f or \n to jump around files. I have a most recently used tab at the top if you need to jump around more. More on that, w+[hjkl] is all you need to move from screen to screen.
