- use version control for it
- source a vimrc file by
:so <path> - to try .vimrc in this example execute the following:
cd; git clone https://github.com/p1100i/vim-tutor-plus.git dotfiles
cd; ln -s $HOME/dotfiles/vim/vimrc.vim .vimrc
vim -u ~/.vimrc # start vim with only one .vimrc
- install by
cd; git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git $HOME/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim - remove comment from
.vimrc - start vim and
:PluginInstall
userdel -r tmp
If your Vim is compiled w/ +clipboard (:echo has('clipboard') should not return 0) you can use the * and + registers.
Otherwise, use https://github.com/christoomey/vim-system-copy.
no wonder, the playground user has no Xsession...
