phpunit.vim VS vimrc

# Using vim as a laravel developer Ok, using vim as a phpstorm replacment, this is prettyyyy close. Here are the steps and the useful parts to know. # First things first, install awesome-vim, this gets 90% of the stuff you need and its maintained git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh # Next I'd say you're going to want phpunit baked in and here is an awesome plugin for that: git clone https://github.com/c9s/phpunit.vim.git ~/.vim_runtime/my_plugins/phpunit.vim # Run inside vim: -- this will let you click and drag panes to resize or jump between (learning vim more and being able to jump panes # makes this unecessary, but i'm not that good yet.) :set mouse=a # So now some sections on easy key commands/shortcuts ## Splitting VIM screen Horizontally and Vertically To open a new VIM window next to the existing one, press + then press . ## Move panes around vim (left/right or top/bottom) Ctrl w + L - Move the current window to the "far right" Ctrl w + H - Move the current window to the "far left" Ctrl w + J - Move the current window to the "very bottom" Ctrl w + K - Move the current window to the "very top" ## Copying everything into clipboard gg"*yG ## Indenting all the code # Still need to look into a more serious formatter like: https://github.com/vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat gg=G # AwesomeVIM Leader Key Shortcut You'll see vim plugins mention , that for awesome view is "," so whenever you see leader hit that key. ## phpunit ### Set the path of phpunit (most cases for me, vendor/bin/phpunit) let g:phpunit_bin = 'phpunit' ### Shortcuts ta - Run all test cases ts - Switch between source & test file tf - Run current test case class # Folding `zo` to open folding `zc` to close folding # NerdTREE nn - Toggles NerdTREE While inside NerdTREE hit "m" to do a number of modifications from renaming, deleting or adding files. # Terminal Typing ":term" will open a terminal pane similar to phpstorm.

there are several vimrc files: https://github.com/amix/vimrc

Vim with https://github.com/amix/vimrc

If you want my five cents, then I would say that using something like https://github.com/amix/vimrc without fully understanding the consequences, is a bad idea. And instead you should focus on the basics of vim, vimtutor followed by :h user-manual.

text editors for writing files. Recommended: install plugins ultimate vim to make vim more powerful and colorful.

Archcraft's vim uses this vimrc which adds a lot of plugins including some for improving appearance, so it's more suited for a terminal emulator than a tty.

I'm basically using this as a base with some tweaks :)

Or if you want something very minimal, just for easier editing experience when connected to server, try just a simple preconfigured vimrc file, where you can comment and uncomment stuff that you might need. I use amix as base for my own vimrc file.

git clone https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
