fMacVim
MacVim + essential plugins + my custom .vimrc
Introduction
I don't see this as another collection of dotfiles, but a practical selection of the best plugins and configs for those willing to enjoy the power of Vim on their Mac. I was inspired by YADR and spf13-vim, or other famous alternatives like Janus, but I did not wanted to have such a big package, I wanted to keep it even simpler.
If you don't like the idea of the complete package, I strongly encourage you to scrabble and take anything you may like in here! But I expect you to (at least) say hi if you like it :P This includes GNU/Linux users, because most of the code in here must work as well for you (I'm using it actually :P).
Installation ------------
I provide you with two options (the easy or the easiest):
1) Easy install
Clone this repositoty and execute the installation script:
git clone git://github.com/fbeeper/fMacVim.git
cd fMacVim
./install.sh
Besides the opportunity of re-customization, this installation includes terminal support for the customized Vim, including the Solarized theme.
Note that you will find an uninstaller too ;)
./uninstall.sh
2) The easiest install
I took MacVim, included all plugins and configs in the package for you to drag and drop it into your /Applications directory:
Details -------
fMacVim includes:
- The best .vimrc I've been able to curate (no blogger/githubber was harmed on this process :P). Even though I didn't kept it minimal, I've made an effort to organize and comment everything. You should take a look at it!

Anyway, I strongly encourage you to have a look at my .vimrc to discover what changes/customizations I've done! :D
What's the future of fMacVim? -----------------------------
This is nowhere near to be perfect, so I expect to bring future updates.
- An updater would be really necessary!
- I should build .vimrc and .gvimrc separately, I know!
- I should consider splitting the .vimrc to make it easier to navigate/maintain.
- I will consider creating a custom Toolbar/Menu.
- A better documentation would be interesting, wouldn't it?
- I've got some shortcuts/functions I haven't added to this release I might add in the future. Or not... because it would mean not keeping this simple.
- I'm thinking to remove OpenGL highlighting from this package, it may be too specific for my needs.
- I really want to make this package compatible for Linux too, with gtk-vim instead of MacVim :)
I'd be pleased to hear any comments, ideas, code, questions, or whatever you may want to say!
