Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim is often called a 'programmer's editor,' and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE.

Setting up your computer for Vim and Tmux often comes with a few issues. Here's how to manage plugins for Vim and use Tmux to boost your productivity, as well as settle a few common issues.

• VimDownloader is a new, elegant and simple to use Vimeo downloader for the Mac. It features the same iconic and user friendly interface as iTubeDownloader (Our YouTubeDownloader for the Mac).
• MacVim Vim - the text editor - for macOS Download MacVim Release Notes (r166) GitHub: MacVim GitHub page; Releases: Binary releases and release notes; FAQ: Answers to some frequently asked questions.
• Vim is not a GNU/Linux only application, as it officially supports many other operating systems, including BSD, Solaris, Amiga, OS/2, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. It is available for download as a universal sources archive and runs well on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.

We'll install:

1. Vundle - Plugin management for Vim
2. Solarized color scheme
3. Tmux - Terminal multiplexer

We'll also figure out some issues Mac and Tmux have with showing 256 color themes.

Install Vundle

You can install Vundle by cloning it:

Configure Vundle

Once installed, you can configure it.

And follow the installation directions by editing your ~/.vimrc file:

Once this is setup, you can open a new instance of vim and run :BundleInstall:

You'll get a confirmation 'Done' message on the bottom of your screen if all goes well.

Add Solarized Color Theme

Next, we'll add the Solarized color theme. Vundle makes this really easy. Simply add the Github repository name in ~/.vimrc:

Now that we've added the solarized theme, we need to have Vundle install it.

Now open up your Terminal (iTerm2 or Terminal app). If you're on a Mac, you may see something...ugly. I had a terrible background and the colors were completley off. I didn't have 256 color enabled.

Here's what I saw:

To fix that, I finally came across this StackOverflow question, which had the answer waiting.

Change your ~.vimrc settings from above to the following:

Once you start up a new instance of Vim, you should see your new, colored vim!

Onto Tmux!

Let's up our game and get Tmux into the mix. We can use Tmux to open up multiple 'panes' within our shell.

First, install it. On your Mac, you can use Homebrew:

Ubuntu or Debian users can user apt-get:

Great. Now, colors are also an issue when running Vim within Tmux. Let's fix that. Create or edit the file ~/.tmux.conf:

Now we're ready to use Tmux. Start up a new Tmux session:

Next, split the screen vertically so we have 2 panes with this keyboard shortcut:

Gvim For Mac Os X

You can switch between panes with this shortcut:

Gvim For Mac

You can then open up separate files in each! (Or do ... anything really).

More Tmux

Tmux has Windows, and within the Windows it has Panes. Each Window consists of a set of 1-n Panes.

Tmux also has Sessions. A collection of Windows/Panes live within a Session. You can detach from a Session, leaving it running in the background. You can later re-attach to it, and continue working. This is how people pair program.

Split Screen into 2 Panes:

Split current Pane horizontally into 2 Panes:

Switch between Panes:

Create new Window:

Switch between Windows:

Detach from Session:

Re-attach to a Session:

Create a Session:

Switch between Sessions:

Switch between Sessions within Tmux:

List Sessions:

List all commands:

Scripted!

You can run this bash script on your Debian or Ubuntu server to run the above Vim+Tmux configurations. This might conflict with anything you currently have in your ~/.vimrc or ~/.tmux.conf files (If they already exist). Back them up first.

What Is Vim?
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
Vim is often called a 'programmer's editor,' and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files.
Vim can also be configured to work in a very simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim.
What Vim Is Not?
Vim isn't an editor designed to hold its users' hands. It is a tool, the use of which must be learned.
Vim isn't a word processor. Although it can display text with various forms of highlighting and formatting, it isn't there to provide WYSIWYG editing of typeset documents. (It is great for editing TeX, though.)
There are currently two kinds of Vim for Macintosh:

• Using the Cocoa GUI. Also known as MacVim. This is the latest and is being actively developed. This behaves like a Mac application.
• Using the Carbon GUI. This is an older way of doing things and isn't updated much any more. This behaves more like Vim on Unix.

This is the Carbon GUI version.
