WebVim is a Vim based distribution targeting JavaScript and Web development.
It targets :
- JavaScript development (ES5, ES6, node.js)
- HTML5
- CSS3 and SCSS
And contains the features you expect from a modern code editor :
- syntax highlighting
- syntax and error checking
- autocompletion
- multi cursor
- git support
- code format
- support coding conventions (editorconfig)
- hardcore mode (for real Vim users)
- Emmet support
- jsdoc generation (coming soon)
- debugging (coming soon)
- grunt/gulp support (coming soon)
- all the awesomeness from Vim
The WebVim idea is to provide you a vim distribution: something that comes prepackaged, preconfigured, built on a kernel to serve a goal. WebVim is to vim what Debian is to Linux, a vim distribution for the web.
Only tested on Linux
On Ubuntu (from 15.04)
- A modern version of Vim
apt-get install vim vim-runtime vim-gui-commonor compile a recent version with xterm_clipboard and ruby or python support.
- Some tools to compile YouCompleteMe
apt-get install build-essential cmake python-dev exuberant-ctags- Node.js and npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs- Some npm packages
npm install -g eslint csslint jshint jsonlint handlebarsPlease report me what you did to make it work on your OS
sudo dnf install cmake python-devel npm vim
npm install -g npm eslint csslint jshint jsonlint handlebarsgit clone https://github.com/krampstudio/webvim.git ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/.tern-project ~/.tern-project
vimThe plugins install can take some times, especially since there's a compilation made by YouCompleteMe. If you've the feeling the install has frozen, you can finish the install after by entering the command :PlugInstall.
The hardcore mode remap some keys to force you use Vim in a productive way:
- no arrow keys for moving instead use the common Vim movement commands.
- in insert mode, use
jkto switch back to normal mode instead of<esc>
Restricting commands is the best way to make your fingers learn. After one or two days, you should be more productive and have learned lots of Vim commands.
You can disable the hardcore mode by setting the value of g:hardcoreMode to 0 in .vimrc. You can also change the mappings.
WebVim is only a Vim distribution with plugins and configuration, so all common Vim commands and basic mapping are available. You must know how to use Vim before using this IDE. If you're not comfortable with Vim enough I suggest you to take the interactive Vim tutorial (run vimtutor in a terminal), and keep a common usage cheat sheet close to you until your fingers get all the mappings in memory.
Modes :

Commands :

WebVim is only a distribution that contains plugins. The plugin authors have made the hard work.
