Dear John,

I'm a student from China, and I'm learning to use Vim. Luckly, I read your article about "Turning Vim into a modern Python IDE" when surfing the Internet.Your configurations are excellent and I want to learn form your configurations. However, some Configurations that I don't konw how to modify.

1.how to remove the "$" at end of a line and each blank line?

2.how to remove the red vertical bold line?

I have read the .vimrc again and again, but didn't find how to solve my problems.

Please pardon my poor English.

No .screenrc, .vimrc files, when running TL;DR: only .gitconfig .bashrc files are replaced.

hi,

i don't know if you still maintaine the _vim part of the project, but maybe you could replace the _vim/autoload/pathogen.vim with a newer version.

The one in it now is v1.3 which is missing some of the newer functions it seems.
At least the function i was trying to use in the .vimrc is not part of v1.3 but of the v2.2
Drove me crazy till i found the problem

As an idea, how about adding the vim-pathogen to the git submodules and linking the _/vim/autoload/pathogen.vim to that file.
that way you always get the up-to-date file when you update the gits.

when vim a file, it will throw a kindof 'FileType *... colorcolumn=0' error. And after remove 'autocmd FileType * setlocal colorcolumn=0' in .vimrc line 155, the error disappear.

Hello,

When I try to use python matplotlib, it reports such errors.
How could I fix it?

_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "$_base3"

Some commands in bash creates problem if there is an space (" ") in file/folder name.
E.g. cd works fine, but mv does not. Example

cd ./Dropbox/How[tab is pressed] ----> cd ./Dropbox/How\ to\ think\ like\ a\ computer\ scientist\ Learning\ with\ Python/[cursor]

but

mv ./Dropbox/How[tab is pressed] ----> cd ./Dropbox/How to think like a computer scientist Learning with Python [cursor]

Which is impossible to work with. I am trying to figure out what causes this. I have narrowed it down to .bashrc but don't know exactly what the problem is.
I am on debian testing, using terminator as terminal emulator

when I executed ./install.sh vim, everthing is ok before gitting "bundle/fugitive"
my terminal is stuck there.
and it throw an error:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tys/Downloads/dotfiles/_vim/bundle/fugitive/.git/
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 400

Hey,pal! when I type \td as ur tutorial, error:E10: \ should be followed by /, ? or &
then help td , it seems there isnnt a td. the vimrc is https://gist.github.com/3731445

I follow the steps of the readme. My .gitconfig is set to yours, with a few odd folders. My environment has been destroyed, such as, the command 'ls' has been destroyed. I want to return to my original environment.

The slides portion of the install is not working.

Is python3.2 the problem?

Dear, John
Thanks 4 ur work. It's great. Recently, I hit an error of vim after I installed dotfiles. The vim & dotfiles can't work appropriately. Some errors just like below :

My environment:
vim 7.3: souce code installed
python2.7.2: activepython

So the problem is on python? Or it's on anything else? Can u give some details about resolving the problem? Thank u very much!

hi, i clone your dotfile repo. and then , checkout branch vim , use ./install vim to install.

I find my git config user.name and user.email be set yours.

I don;'t know why.

if you are interested: https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate

Thanks for sharing your dotfiles and installation instructions! They were incredibly helpful :)

Entering '_vim/bundle/acp'
Entering '_vim/bundle/command-t'
fatal: Needed a single revision
Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'vendor/vimball'
Stopping at '_vim/bundle/command-t'; script returned non-zero status.
(in /Users/ryan/Dropbox/SystemConfiguration/_vim/bundle/command-t)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb

Hi. the configurations works well except one point :
python can't use snippet for example Tab, it gives a real Tab(4 spaces)

when I install these files. I can get an error, please see the above log.
I think it's the vimball makes the snippate can't work

Thanks

In .gitmodules:

[submodule "_vim/bundle/snippets"] path = _vim/bundle/snippets url = https://github.com/honza/snipmate-snippets.git

causes issues as URL is no longer valid - project has been renamed, new URL is https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets.git

after changing url git still fails with fatal: reference is not a tree: a558a9787b280295cb17d264487178b1d5c5f2ec

I finally managed to resolve this by inserting git submodule sync into install.sh just before

`git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule foreach --recursive git pull origin master'

I suspect that's not ideal, and better fixed in the repository, but I'm afraid my understanding of git isn't up to it!

Maybe it is just me, but after a fresh install of the script, snipmate is not working on a .py file.

I tried:

def<ctrl+j>
def<ctrl+r>
def

None seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?
