Startup / welcome screen:
- Startify header is now dynamic: shows config name, Vim version,
current dir, git branch, and key usage hints (leader, Ctrl-p, ,rg)
- Reorder Startify sections: Sessions first (project restore), then
directory files, recent files, bookmarks
- Add default bookmarks: ~/.vimrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc
- vim <dir>: NERDTree opens left, Startify opens right (replaces the
broken `ene` empty-buffer hack that left an unnamed buffer)
- vim (no args): NERDTree opens alongside Startify via User Startified
event, keeping Startify focused — both panels visible from the start
- Consolidate StdinReadPre into a single top-level autocmd so pipe/
heredoc input is correctly detected in all startup branches
Mapping fixes:
- <leader>bd: remove `:tabclose<cr>gT` chain — it was closing the
entire tab on every buffer close regardless of other open buffers
- tnoremap <Esc>: change to <Esc><Esc> — single Esc now passes through
to the running terminal program (fzf, htop, etc.); double Esc exits
- <C-p>: smart file search — uses GFiles (respects .gitignore) inside
git repos, falls back to Files outside git trees
General UX:
- set lazyredraw moved to TTY-only block — it caused CoC floating
window flicker in capable terminals; still active in TTY for perf
- Markdown FileType: add tw=0 — prevents global tw=500 from mangling
gq line wrapping in markdown buffers
- CleanExtraSpaces: expand from 6 hardcoded extensions to all files;
function is cursor-safe (saves/restores position) so it is harmless
when ALE trim_whitespace also runs
which-key:
- Add 'd': 'diagnostics' to [a] group — <leader>ad was mapped to
CocDiagnostics but invisible in the key hint overlay
- Add coc-marksman and coc-sql to manual CocInstall example
- Note that install.sh handles all extensions automatically
- Update vim-lsp supported languages list (6 → 12 languages)
- Expand language support table: add CSS/SCSS, Less, SQL rows;
fill in linters for CSS (stylelint), Markdown (markdownlint), SQL (sqlfluff)
- Clarify ALE fix_on_save behavior note
This commit addresses multiple issues discovered during code review:
1. Fix variable definition order in .vimrc
- Move g:is_tty and g:has_true_color definitions to top of file
- Previously used at line 32 but defined at line 263
- Ensures variables are available before first use
2. Remove duplicate configuration settings in .vimrc
- Remove duplicate set number, wildmenu, ruler
- Remove duplicate search settings (ignorecase, smartcase, hlsearch, incsearch)
- Remove duplicate backspace and wildignore settings
- Reduces file size and eliminates confusion
3. Enhance install.sh reliability
- Add directory validation to ensure script runs from ~/.vim
- Add symlink validation after creation
- Fix CoC installation command syntax (vim -c to vim +)
- Move helper functions before usage
- Prevents symlink-to-self errors
4. Improve installation documentation
- Add warnings in README.md about running from correct directory
- Add IMPORTANT notes in QUICKSTART.md
- Update installation step descriptions
- Prevents common user installation mistakes
These fixes improve installation reliability and prevent configuration errors.
Changes:
- Add automatic TTY detection (TERM=linux, screen, builtin)
- Disable true color mode in TTY for compatibility
- Use ASCII separators instead of powerline fonts in TTY
- Fallback to default colorscheme for 16-color terminals
- Disable cursorline in TTY for better performance
- Simplify signcolumn to 'auto' in TTY
- Disable FZF preview windows in TTY
- Skip auto-opening NERDTree in TTY for faster startup
- Use simpler status line in TTY environments
- Reduce syntax highlighting complexity (synmaxcol=120)
- Disable syntax for files >512KB in TTY
- Add informative message on first TTY run
Benefits for TTY users:
- Faster startup time
- Better performance in resource-constrained environments
- No font dependency issues
- Compatible with basic 16-color terminals
- Works on Linux console, serial terminals
- Optimized for remote sessions over slow connections
All optimizations are automatic - no configuration needed.
Changes:
- Replaced checkmarks with plain text in README.md
- Replaced emoji icons with [OK] in install.sh
- Changed ALE error/warning signs from unicode to ASCII (X and !)
- Removed rocket emoji from QUICKSTART.md
- All output now uses simple ASCII characters
Follows KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle for better:
- Terminal compatibility
- Accessibility
- Readability in all environments
- No font dependencies
