Setting up Vim/Nvim

1. Install Vim/Nvim from origin of choice, configure git

• git config --global user.name "user name"
• git config --global user.email "user@email.com"
• git config --global core.editor /usr/bin/nvim

2. Link .vim/ and .vimrc to Nvim config

• ln -s ~/.vim ~/.config/nvim
• ln -s ~/.vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim (linux only)

if you're on a mac, do not link init.vim. Instead, init.vim should contain

• set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
• let &packpath = &runtimepath
• source ~/.vimrc

3. Run Installer.sh to install dein

• rm -r dein/ && mkdir dein
• sh installer.sh dein/ to install dein package manager

4. Install pynvim

• pacman -S python-pynvim or
• xbps-install -S python3-neovim

5. Install Vim/Nvim plugins with dein

• Open vim/nvim, enter call dein#install() from command mode

6. Periodically update plugins

• enter call dein#update() from command mode to periodically update plugins

7. Add in desired airline color files

Also - nice little one liner for finding recent files globally (any pngs, in this example):

find / -type f -name "*.png" -printf "%T@ %p\n" 2>/dev/null | sort -n | tail -n 5
