Vim4cpp: Complete vim environment for C++ development

---

source: https://github.com/juniway/vim4cpp

Overview

This project aims to build a whole vim envoronment for cpp programming, it provides a well tuned vim settings and plugins which provide an IDE-like coding experience in vim editor.

To support full fledged vim environment, the below things are required:

• vim 7.4+ compiled with python/python3 support
• g++ (better g++4.8 or later)
• clang compiler
• cmake
• ctags
• cscope

Plugins includes:

• Vundle
• YouCompleteMe
• syntastic
• auto-pairs
• NerdTree
• vim-airline
• taglist
• cscope
• tagbar
• CtrlP
• vim-gitgutter
• vim-fugitive
• ultisnips
• vim-snippet
• Cpp11-Syntax-Support
• nerdcommenter
• powerline/fonts
• vim-colorschemes
• gundo.vim

You can simply run the script autoconf/install to install all the tools and plugins above.

Install

$ git clone https://github.com/juniway/vim4cpp
$ cd vim4cpp
$ ./install.sh

The script will install _vimrc, .ycm_extra_conf.py and other plugins in ~/.vim.

An auto command that will recoginze cpp file look like this:

• au BufNewFile,BufRead *.h,*.hpp,*.inl,*.ipp,*.cpp,*.c,*.cc,*.go execute cppenv#infect()

AutoComplete

vim4cpp provides auto complete for cpp(and other languages like c, python, etc), supported by YouCompleteMe.

Auto complete brackets: This feature supports class, struct, union, function, lambda and C++ coroutine lambda. The C++ coroutine lambda refers to https://github.com/yyzybb537/cpp_features

---

Auto complete class-methods definitions: This feature supports all of combination class and method types below:

• normal class
• template class

and

• normal method
• template method
• static method
• static template method

Jump File

cppenv provides some shortcut keys for jump between c/c++ header file and c/c++ source file.

• gs
• gns
• gS
• gvs
• gvns

Use gs can jump between header and source if there were in a same folder. If the two files have the same parent folder, you can use gns to jump between there. If the two files were not in a same folder and have not the same parent folder, the gs cannot work, here, you can use gS. gS will use locate command to find the files in all of your file-system, and show the results in quickfix window when the results more than one.

gvs, gvns are as same as gs, gns nearly. Difference was the shortcut key including v will split the window vertical, and show the other file buffer on right.

Vim environment

If you install the complete vim environment, the _vimrc taken effect. It will give you a lot of shortcut key to boost your coding efficiency.

Plugins

YouCompleteMe provides syntax complete and check.

NerdTree provides show the files tree.

TagList provides show the functions in current file.

ShortcutKey

I used ; as the vim leader charactor, so seted below:

• ;b jump to begin of line. as ^

• ;e jump to end of line. as $

• ;w save to file. as :w

• ;q quit the buffer. as :quit

• ;Q quit the vim. as :quitall

• ;hw jump to left window. as <C-w>h

• ;jw jump to under window. as <C-w>j

• ;kw jump to over window. as <C-w>k

• ;lw jump to right window. as <C-w>l

• ;/ cancel highlight. as :nohls<CR>

• ; as ", e.g. you can use ;ay to copy selection into a register, and use ;ap to paste a register words into cursor position.

• F3 toggle the NerdTree window, show the files tree.

• F4 static syntax check current source file.

Jump

• gy jump to the word on the cursor definition or declaration. as call the YCM method GoToDefinitionElseDeclaration.
• gY show the word on the cursor definition or declaration on right window.
• gl jump to last buffer. as :b#<CR>
• gL jump to last buffer and show current buffer on right window

TabPage

• <C-h> jump to previous tabpage. as :tabprevious<CR>
• <C-l> jump to next tabpage. as :tabnext<CR>

Build and Run

• F7 build current file, output out.exe
• F5 build and run. output out.exe
• F8 build and run with libboost. output out.exe

Complete By Snippet

• <C-j> trigge the snippet.

Support snippet trigger list below:

• time the output for e.g: 2015-11-20 23:56:18

• date output for e.g: 2015-11-20

• namespace <name>

  e.g.

  input:

    namespace ucorf
  

  output:

    namespace ucorf
    {
  
    } //namespace ucorf
  

• GNU License <name> Make gnu license copyright header in source file.

  

• def <class name> First, you must save your class definition. Then, input def <class name>, will output all method definitions of the class.
