In PyCharm with the Vim plugin, how do I make it so that the cursor will wrap lines (go from beginning of one line to the end of the previous or vice versa)?
The .vimrc is:
set whichwrap=<,>,h,l,[,]
but there's no way to configure a .vimrc in PyCharm.
IdeaVim plug-in already reads .vimrc, but it doesn't support all the options as it emulates only a part of the vim functionality. If certain option is not supported, submit a feature request to the IdeaVim issue tracker.
Note that it's an open source plug-in, if you really need this feature, try adding it yourself and send a pull request or a patch to the vendors.

I would like to use Tim Pope's vim surround plugin in my Pycharm IDE. I've been using the IdeaVim plugin for Pycharm to use vim motions and commands.
I know I can use ~/.ideavimrc like my normal .vimrc but I cannot find
information about how to use plugins with ideavim.
Can I specify the plugins directory inside my ~/.ideavimrc or do I have to go another way? Can I use a plugin manager like pathogen?
The latest version of IdeaVim includes the vim-surround plugin. Enable it by adding
set surround
to your .ideavimrc file

Most applications only emulate Vim's / vi key bindings (and often only the basic navigation and editing commands). That goes a long way to helping vi users edit comfortably, but it isn't the real thing.
Unfortunately, to be able to use Vim plugins, you'll need the full Vimscript interpreter and infrastructure around 'runtimepath'. I'm not aware of any application that provides this, and because of the complexities and idiosyncrasies of Vim, this would be very hard indeed.
To get more of Vim's special capabilities into your IDE, use both concurrently; it is very easy to set up a external tool in your IDE that launches Vim with the current file (and position). Automatic reloading of changes allows you to edit source code in both concurrently.
If it's any comfort to you, the same applies to Emacs / Elisp as well.
The ideaVim plugin added "Support for vim-surround commands ys, cs, ds, S, enable it with set surround in your ~/.ideavimrc" since version 0.46.
No. Vote for VIM-506 for Vim scripts support (unlikely to be implemented) and for VIM-769 for vim-surround emulation (likely to appear in future versions).
This was mentioned in a changelog relatively recently.

I didn't mange this work. Looks like I need vim-plug installed and I use another package manager in my NeoVim and also I don't want to mix up two configs. It should work in general.
I am experimenting with Vim mode in the various JetBrains editors, using their IdeaVim plugin.
I'm trying to port over some of the existing functionality from my native .vimrc file. However, I don't seem to be able to get even the simplest vimscript function to work in my ~/.ideavimrc file.
After some searching I can't determine if this is something that IdeaVim even supports. Can I execute functions in the JetBrains editors with the IdeaVim plugin enabled?
You can use only a very limited set of Vim commands like some "set" options, various "map" commands, etc. See the IdeaVim repository on GitHub for more info.
First off I'm a windows user using VIM and vundle to manage my plugins.
I have the Syntastic vim plugin (https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic) and it works great highlighting any syntax errors for the first javascript file I open and save.
I also have the minibufexplorer plugin (https://github.com/sontek/minibufexpl.vim). Once I open a second file the MiniBufExplorer window appears allowing me to navigate between previously opened files via :b1, :b2, etc. I've noticed when this happens Syntastic stops working.
If I remove the minibufexplorer plugin then Syntastic always works. I'd really like to get both working together, does anyone have a solution for this? I would gladly use an alternative to minibufexplorer if it works with Syntastic.
I'm using pathogen to organize my installed plugins. I have syntastic and minibufexplorer and they work well together for me.
I have done no configuration at all to any of thees plugins. But to handle bufferswitching in an easy way (also works without minibufexplorer) I use this in my .vimrc:
map § :bnext^M
map ½ :bprevious^M
Its the key just below the Esc-key. It makes it very easy to just hit the § key to cycle through all open buffers.
Here is a good place to start your configuration.
Since I'm open to alternatives I will be removing the MiniBufExplorer plugin and using the :ls vim command to view the buffer list when desired. It's not as convenient as using the MiniBufExplorer plugin but I find syntax highlighting more important and am satisfied with this workaround.
i use vim to edit different filetypes.
it seems vim can load the filetype plugin correctly, for different filetypes the highlight, indent and comment are all working well.
but the menubar seems not working.
eg. i installed vim-latex, therefore after i open a .tex file, the menu-bar has all the menus Tex-suite, Tex-enviroment, Tex-Math, etc.
but when i switch back to a .py file, these menus are still there... and even the keymap for .tex file compling is still there. when i type <leader>ll, vim still compiles the .tex file in previous buffer...
How should i reset vim menus (and the keymaps) when a different filetype is loaded?
thanks!
I didn't know vim-latex before, but it looks like a powerful suite that totally takes over Vim, and currently does not support undoing its massive customizations once it's been loaded.
You can get rid of the menu via
:aunmenu TeX-Suite
and likewise remove the mapping via
:nunmap <buffer> <Leader>ll
But I guess simply quitting Vim and re-launching it is the easiest, pragmatic solution.
Of course, you can file enhancement requests against the project, but I guess this is not high on their agenda, and some people may find the toggling of the menu when switching buffers more annoying than the lingering menu.
I am trying to to use eclim for my daily development requirements. My .vimrc has some issues preventing few functionalities like code completion etc.
It would be great if anyone using eclim regularly share your .vimrc.
You can find my vim setup on github. I use eclim to do Android development.
See visualstudioinvoke.vim for how I launch Vim from eclim. This isn't necessary, but it's useful to start at the current line in the current file. It also sets up my eclim menu, bindings, and settings.
It's best to start the eclim server (by opening the "Eclim" eclipse tab) before you start gvim.
I have eclim's code completion mapped to Ctrl-Space.
You won't get any code completion for classes that aren't in the scope of the current file. To import, I have a menu option under Eclim > ImportMissing.
However, my vimrc might be pretty alien to you, so you might be better served whittling down your vimrc until you figure out what's breaking things. The default map for completions is Ctrl-x Ctrl-u. You can use :verb map <C-x> to search for maps that start the same way and it will show you where they're defined.
If you use SuperTab, try disabling it. SuperTab and eclim are both maintained by
Eric Van Dewoestine so they should be compatible, but you may have a SuperTab configuration problem.
You could also try updating all of your plugins.
