My Drupal ready VIM config

For some reason I just can’t stop using vim. This article is not ment to get into the debate of pros and cons between using a modern IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans. However I have tried many IDE’s and always find myself back to pecking away at a terminal. VIM is available out of the box on every modern Unix/Linux/Mac computer out there, and with in 20 seconds I am up and running with the configuration that works for me.

So here is the configuration I use incase anyone else would like to try it out. It supports among other things the following features

  • Support for black terminals
  • Auto indenting after {
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Shows line numbers
  • Dictionary auto completion
  • Shows tabs and extra whitespace
  • Ctrl + B for php syntax checking
  • Ctrl + X for svn commit
  • Ctrl + C for git commit
  • Ctrl + A converts tabs to spaces
  • Ctrl + D Hides line numbers (useful for copying text)
  • Ctrl + F Show line numbers (for when your done)
Hopefully you will find this helpful.

New York City Panoramics
