unix-setup VS dotfiles

Just go into terminal. I've settled with zsh after forever with bash, but nothing really changed.

It works in all systems, mac, linux, even Windows (with WSL). The same script that I configure it can be used anywhere so I put it on git and just pull that whenever I need to configure a new system for temp/permanent use: https://github.com/Aperocky/unix-setup

Setting up vim (and other shell setups) have been the easiest things ever and this does it for me:

I had to do it several times over the years, even have a shell file that would install all the plugins straight from git. The process take no more than 5 minutes and I'm right at home in the terminal of the new machine.

vim with massive amount of plugin is my go to.

My vim setup looks like atom in terms of interface: https://github.com/Aperocky/unix-setup/blob/master/.vimrc

Very easy to setup, just add the .vimrc file and run the git clone commands after setting up pathogen (package interface). This setup is pretty nice to edit ts/js/py/rb and C family of languages.

This doesn't really work for any of the JVM languages however, those you probably want an IDE.. I tried my best in vim and it just don't work.

The colors are mostly from zenburn

Yeah, that’s definitely where I’ve ended up: I have a lot of lisp code, but it’s more of a toolbox for my shell (REPL) than standalone programs.

However, I’ve settled on a pattern that works pretty well for the few small tools I write: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/18cecfc93bcf...

I use these keys every day for just about every sort of balanced delimiter manipulation I do in any language: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/eff889f0b749...

A little below I bind this key map to the “,” prefix and I’ve found my layout of paredit commands pretty ergonomic to use long-term.

What made a difference for me was figuring out the right keybindings. The default keybindings in emacs weren’t very ergonomic and so I came up with a more convenient set of keybindings (for evil-mode, since I prefer vim-style editing). They follow a nice pattern on the keyboard and made a huge difference.

I eventually adapted them so I could have relatively consistent keybindings across vim/emacs/VSCode/IntelliJ and the results are here:

If you understand the elisp keybinding notation, it’s possible to use the C-, ones in VSCode.

Yeah, I don’t have home-manager generate configurations for vim. I have home-manager generate a symlink to my version-controlled vimrc. This way I get the quick setup benefits of home-manager without the slow reload times.

Incidentally, I just polished my script for working around that issue: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/master/scrip...
