A collection of configurations

Vim

Contains my Vim configuration files.

Optional Dependencies

• Pathogen
  • Plugin manager that simplifies laoding plugins below
• kien's ctrlp
  • Fuzzy file searching
• ack
  • Search for terms with ack or ag
  • I use K to search for the current term under the cursor

Vimrc (vim/linux/.vimrc)

• Contains my core configuration, including mappings, colors, highlight groups, a few custom file formats
• Can be used on both Unix and Windows

GVim (vim/windows/_gvimrc)

• Additional configuration settings to be read by GVim on a Windows host
• Simply sets colorscheme, removes menu/tool/scroll bars, and visual bell
• Not meant to contain entire Windows vim configuration; .vimrc should also be copied/included as $HOME/_vimrc

ftplugin

• Directory that contains definitions for specific ftplugin settings, per file type/extension
• Currently, these include similar definitions for Markdown and TeX files

zsh

• Contains general zsh configuration files, including:
  • zshrc: Defaults to be used on a fresh installation of zsh
  • zsh_aliases: Sourced by .zshrc, contains basic aliases
• There are also more platform specific files:
  • cygwin: Contains a few functions and aliases used on a Cygwin terminal
  • wsl: Contains functions/aliases to be used on a WSL terminal

Plugins

• zsh-z: Quickly navigate to most commonly visited directories.

Scripts

• Basic scripts that I've wanted to hang on to
• Currently includes:
  • chromswitch.sh: For use in a Linux DE where you want a keybind to either launch a new instance of chrome or focus on an existing one, Windows style (this is hacky, but it functions)
  • shared.sh: A script I put together for easily mounting a VirtualBox (and guest additions) shared directory. This script should be installed/ used on the guest OS.

Misc

Git

My .gitconfig is available here as well, for core settings and aliases.

Tmux Configuration

My .tmux.conf is here as well; it defines a few basic fixes for colors and keybinds that are somewhat vim-like.

Legacy

The topics under this header are not often updated or have fallen out of use.

Bash

There are a number of Bash/terminal resources available here that I find very convenient, namely:

• Some of my favorite aliases (bash_aliases)
• Some resources (bash_resources):
  • Fixes for the Windows 10 Ubuntu shell, such as an explicit screen directory and quality-of-life color changes
  • hag, a quick function to grep your history
• Some extra mapping settings that typically go into .inputrc
