One Operation Installation Dotfiles

Contents:

• .nvimrc
• .zshrc
• .gitconfig
• .tmux.conf

Philosophy

• One key installation. Simply run

$ ./setup.sh

• No framework (particularly, oh-my-zsh). Control everything yourself.

• Cold start with package manager.

  • vim-plug for [neovim] (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim)
  • zgen for zsh

Neovim

Everyone (should) has his/her own work flow. My nvimrc fits best for my own.

Principles

1. Use neovim as tmux (unless you want to run program on remote servers after you log off.)
2. Use tab (:tabedit) instead of window.
3. The only time to split a new window is when you want to open a terminal (:term), or sometime when you watn to compare code.

Moving Around

1. Tab is used intensively. So tab switching deserves a hotkey
   • Ctrl+h, Ctrl+l to move to the left or right tab
   • Ctrl+Alt+h, Ctrl+Alt+l to move current tab to left or right
2. Never leave your hjkl
   • Exit commandmode, insertmode, terminalmode, back to normal mode using jk (use Enter for visual mode instead)
   • Alt+h, Alt+l to move to line begin or line end (this also work for visual mode, and my zshrc also has binding to make this work for terminalmode)
   • ctrl+j, ctrl+k to move to the next or previous blank line (the same in visual mode)
   • ctrl+j, ctrl+k bind to or in command mode and terminal mode

File browsing

Use FZF

1. For git repo. <C-o> is bind to Files command
2. (normal)go is bind to BTags command

Use nerdtree
see below

Terminal mode

• Alt+e, Alt+o, Alt+t to open new shell in vertical window, horizontal window, or a new tab
• Exit terminal mode and switch to other window with Ctrl+a (bind to vim's Ctrl+w)

Folding

• <Space> to unfold
• <Space> to open directory in nerdtree

Workflow

1. Open neovim with nerdtree

$ nvim .

2. Open file from nerdtree in new tab with t key
3. Unfold directory in nerdtree with <Space>
4. In nerdtree, change working directory by moving cursor to the directory and press <Enter> (usually, I will then open a vertical shell and then do something in the working directory)
5. Working directory automatically changes when you switch between tabs
6. To execute shell commands, enter terminal mode in a vertical split window with Alt+e
7. To have two shells in a tab, split a new horizontal shell with Alt+o
8. Have a shell in a new tab with Alt+t
