My Dotfiles

You can find my dotfiles here. I have some aliases that I use regularly. Here’s a big one, so stupid but I feel like I do this enough to warrant it. The rest are nothing to write home about. You might argue this one is also nothing to write home about.

alias v='mvim .'

I use <D-F> for my fuzzy file find so I needed to remap the gui version. It’s vim, I have /, no need to hog more keys for find in file. I also decided to use <D-t> to tag search so neededt to remap new tab to <D-T>. I never knew you could just edit the gui menu so this was a nice find.

if has('gui_macvim')
  macmenu Edit.Find.Find\.\.\. key=<nop>
  macmenu File.New\ Tab key=<D-T>
endif

For vim / mvim I was using janus but felt it had too much stuff that I never used. I finally sat down, after almost 20 years of using vim, and created my own vim files. I used a lot of janus as a starting point since I was pretty used to it already.

Many thanks to thoughtbot for making rcm. It made the whole source controled dot files stupid simple.
