Well documented, terminal centric web developer's dot files

Hey everybody. I am Martin, a software developer with an obsession for workflow improvement. Below I present the most interesting parts of my config files. Feel free to be inspired.

Neovim

I am using Neovim which is a Vim fork focused on maintainability. Below are the most interesting parts of my Neovim configuration.

Show me the end result first

Here you go.

Want more? Scroll down to the appropriate section.

Plugins

I use the excellent vim-plug package manager. It supports parallel fetching, lazy loading, after install hooks, etc. You should consider using it :)

And which plugins I use? Currently I use about 75 plugins. Some of the most interesting are:

Neomake - Linter integration (Syntastic alternative) with asynchronous support.
Unite - Search and display information from arbitrary sources.
Deoplete - Autocomplete with Neovim asynchronous support.
Lightline - Lightweight but extensible and configurable status line.
Lexima - Auto-closing (,",' and some language constructs (ruby blocks). Dot repeat supported.

For a complete list, look here.

Utility scripts

In the code snippets below I ofter call utils#xxx() functions. Those are just simple multiple lines long vimscript functions (often inspired by other people). You can find them here.

Vim defaults overriding (improving)

Zsh

My shell interpreter of choice. Here are some options to improve the behavior to my taste.

# Disable control flow (<C-s> / <C-q>)
stty stop '' -ixoff -ixon

# Set spelling correction
setopt correct

# Don't raise errors when regex nomatch fires
unsetopt nomatch

I am also using the excellent oh-my-zsh framework.

# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh

# Set name of the theme to load.
ZSH_THEME="martinus"

# Disable auto title setting
DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true"

Tmux

I am a heavy user of tmux. I am using the tpm package manager and mainly it's tmux resurrect plugin which allows me to persist sessions on the disk.

I am also using the tmuxinator gem to quickly bootstrap new tmux sessions. Below are the most interesting settings in my tmux config file:

Settings

# Unset ruby version so it respects .ruby-version files
set-environment -gu RBENV_VERSION

# UTF-8 settings
set -g status-utf8 on
set -g utf8 on

# Fastest command sequences (http://superuser.com/a/252717/65504)
set -s escape-time 0

# For nice colors
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# XTerm compatibility
set -g xterm-keys on

# Vi keys in copy mode
set -g mode-keys vi

# History boost
set -g history-limit 50000

# Enable mouse
set -g mode-mouse on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
set -g mouse-resize-pane on
set -g mouse-select-window on

# Emacs key bindings in command prompt (prefix + :) are better than vi keys, even for vim users
set -g status-keys emacs

# Focus events enabled for terminals that support them
set -g focus-events on

# Super useful when using "grouped sessions" and multi-monitor setup
setw -g aggressive-resize on

# Messages are displayed for 3 seconds
set -g display-time 3000

Key bindings

# Backtick as Prefix
unbind C-b
set -g prefix `
bind-key ` send-prefix

# Reload the file with Prefix r
bind R source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; display "Sourced tmux.conf"

# Next and prev window like in vim
bind -r - previous-window
bind -r = next-window

# New windows and panes in the same dir
bind-key n new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind-key i split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind-key v split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"

# Pane switching
bind-key h select-pane -L
bind-key j select-pane -D
bind-key k select-pane -U
bind-key l select-pane -R
bind-key \ select-pane -l

# Resize panes with arrows
bind-key -r Left resize-pane -L 1
bind-key -r Down resize-pane -D 1
bind-key -r Up resize-pane -U 1
bind-key -r Right resize-pane -R 1

# <prefix> r to rename window
bind-key r command-prompt 'rename-window %%'

# <prefix> p to paste buffer
unbind p
bind p paste-buffer

# <prefix> P to choose which buffer to paste
bind P choose-buffer

Plugins

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-yank' # yanking helpers

# Initialize plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Git

What about my git config? Maybe some useful aliases:

[alias]
  a = add
  aa = add --all
  di = diff
  ds = diff --staged
  dt = difftool --no-prompt
  ci = commit --verbose
  amend = commit --amend --verbose
  co = checkout
  pl = pull
  ps = push
  pom = push origin master
  pod = push origin develop
  rb = rebase -i HEAD~10
  st = status -sb
  br = branch
  lo = log --oneline -n 15
  lg = log --pretty=format:'%h | %cd | %an | %s' -n 15
  ls = log --stat -n 5
  lol = log --oneline --graph --all --decorate
  g1 = log --graph --all --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold green)(%cr)%C(reset) %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold white)— %cn%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
  g2 = log --graph --all --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%cD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%cr)%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)%n'' %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold white)— %cn%C(reset)' --abbrev-commit
  wc = whatchanged -p --abbrev-commit --pretty=medium
  unstage = reset HEAD --
  edit = "!nvim `git ls-files -m`"

Xterm

My terminal emulator of choice. Below are some interesting settings I use:

! Unicode support
xterm*utf8: 1

! Color support
xterm*customization: -color
xterm*termName: xterm-256color

! Font settings
xterm*faceName: Droid Sans Mono for Powerline:Bold
xterm*faceSize: 9
xterm*allowBoldFonts: false

! For inclusion of all necessary environment variables
xterm*loginShell: true

! Scrollback setting
xterm*savelines: 10000

! Disable right scrollbar
xterm*ScrollBar: false

! Stop output to terminal from jumping down to bottom of scroll again
xterm*scrollTtyOutput: false

! Save selections to clipboard
xterm*selectToClipboard: true

Pry, Gem, IRB

Don't install RI docs when installing gems (put into your gemrc):

gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc

Use editor to edit bigger blocks of code when in pry (put into your pryrc):

# === EDITOR ===
Pry.config.editor = 'nvim'

Require Rubygems in irbrc to have access while in IRB session (I recommend using Pry):

require 'rubygems'

Ag, Devilspie2

Ag is a popular and blazingly fast find on steroids optimized for developers. I recommend to create agignore to specify extra path to ignore. While Ag is pretty intelligent most of things are already ignored.

*.log
tmp/*

Devilspie2 is a window matching utility, allowing the user to perform scripted actions on windows as they are created. I use it mainly to move application to their reserved workspace and to make them go full screen automatically.

Below is an example of such script:

-- XTerm
if (get_application_name()=="xterm") then
  set_window_workspace(2);
  maximize();
end

Credits

Very big portion of these configuration files was inspired and often even copied from other people, plugin authors, blog writers, etc. I want to say Thank You to all of them.

Especially, I want to mention these guys:

For their contribution to Vim and Neovim ecosystem. Speaking of Neovim, the whole team should be mentioned for their great work.
