The vimide-alex is a toolkit to configure your vi editor as an IDE quickly.

Currently we support debian 9+ / macOS 10.12+ with vim 8+. I recommend using the standard vim and exuberant-ctags package for debian, and the vim compiled from source code for macOS.

• ctags
• pynvim (pip)
• jedi (pip)

Please run the script ./install.vim.sh first, then run :PlugInstall inside vim to install the plugins.

1. colorscheme: wombat256 is enabled to support syntax highlight
2. vim-plug: vim-plug is the new plugin manager
3. ack: ack is a plugin to support ack/ag search in vim, which also requires "ag" tool installed
4. lightline: lightline is a plugin to make the status line look better
5. nerdtree: nerdtree is a file explorer plugin
6. tagbar: tagbar is a plugin to explore code structure tags
7. auto_mkdir: auto_mkdir is a plugin to automatically create the file's parent path if not exist when saving
8. deoplete: deoplete is a plugin to auto complete words in vim
