Vim Configuration

This repository contains a custom Vim configuration designed to enhance usability, provide flexible indentation settings for various file types, and improve the overall coding experience.

Features

• Search and Encoding:

  • Highlights all matches in search results (hlsearch).
  • Ignores case in search patterns (ignorecase).
  • Disables incremental search, highlighting matches only after pressing Enter (noincsearch).
  • Sets file encoding to UTF-8 (encoding=utf8).
  • Always displays the status line at the bottom of the screen (laststatus=2).

• Mouse Support:

  • Enables mouse functionality in visual mode (set mouse=v), if supported.

• Cursor Highlighting:

  • Highlights the entire line where the cursor is positioned for better focus (cursorline).

• Vi Compatibility:

  • Ensures Vim is not in compatibility mode with Vi, enabling modern features (nocompatible).

• Color Scheme:

  • Sets the color scheme to codedark for a modern look.

• Filetype-Specific Indentation:

  • HTML: 2 spaces for tabs and indentation.
  • Python: 4 spaces for tabs and indentation.
  • YAML: 2 spaces for tabs and indentation with custom indent keys.

• Autocommands:

  • Exits Insert mode automatically if idle for a defined period (CursorHoldI).
  • Applies filetype-specific indentation settings when opening files.

• Status Line:

  • Displays detailed information, including file name, working directory, cursor position, and more.
