About

Vim customized to be like SublimeText

This Project is closed and not maintained anymore. I don't find any value in creating a Vim distribution any more. I believe using Vim with plugins and settings for your own need is much more scalable and better in long term. I will occasionally push changes when I have time but don't expect any maintenance or future contributions. Thanks everyone for using and supporting this project, feel free to fork and use it on your own.

" ~/.vim/custom/vimrc ...my own custom settings let mapleader = "," set indent set tabstop=4


* For *plugins*, just clone your favorite plugin into `vim/custom/`.
  Below is an example of installing [vim-fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive):

cd vim/custom git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git


That's it! `subvim` will automatically start your settings and plugins after you restart
vim again.

### There are million other vim distributions, why should I use subvim?

subvim tries to be simple as possible. Only plugins that are worth and are
accepted to be usable are integrated (like autocomplete, autosave sessions,
etc..). It means you just start subvim and benefit from all the features 
explained above. There is no binary compiling or installing extra stuff. All
these are integrated.

subvim has some very nice shortcuts that gives you the same
experience as using SublimeText. These shortcuts do not interfere with any
default vim shortcuts. It's aimed for a full Mac OS X experience. I'm
thinking about making subvim Linux compatible (gvim) in the future.

There are:

* No custom shortcuts
* No leader keybindings that breaks your stuff
* No unnecessary plugins that makes your life harder than easier.
* No automatic downloading of integrated plugins. Because what works will
always works. You always will get the same experience. That means if an
integrated plugin is not superior, it will replaced by superior ones.

### What people say about subvim

* romainl: we don't like your project much but we provide help anyway. That's the vim spirit. (#vim on freenode)
* a friend: an awesome project, thank you!
* addy osmani: So hot. If you're a hardcore Vim user that's been tempted by Sublime, Subvim
gives you SublimeText-like features including shortcuts, color scheme, support
for 41 languages, state, autocompletion via YMC and more, Great work +Fatih
Arslan! 

## Improvements (TODO)

* Add Linux-compatible option
* Autoload of vimrc settings (no need for restart anymore)
* Make it always as simple as possible without breaking any plugins. Users
  should custoimize and add plugins theirself.
* Create a dedicated page to usage and shortcuts

## Credits

* All vim plugins authors. An extended list with authors and plugins will be created.
* romainl, osse, rking, etc.. on #vim - freenode

## License

Same as VIM license. For more info see `:help license`.
