vim - Tutorial

The following is a tutorial to install the pathogen.vim plugin manager and the UltiSnips snippet manager plugin.

Install the pathogen.vim Plugin Manager

  • In your nvim configuration folder, create directories autoload and bundle.
  • Download the pathogen plugin file at http://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim and place it into your autoload folder.

Add pathogen to your init.vim

  • In your init.vim, add the following lines:
execute pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on

Install the Dracula Color Scheme

Note: The following procedure works for any vim color scheme, I just happen to like Dracula the most.

  • Initialize a git repository in your nvim folder by running git init.
  • Clone the Dracula repository in your bundle directory by calling
$ git submodule add https://github.com/dracula/vim bundle/dracula
  • Add the following line in your init.vim following the call to pathogen:
colorscheme dracula
  • Restart your editor, and enjoy your new color scheme.

Install the UltiSnips Plugin

  • Clone the UltiSnips repository in your bundle directory by calling
$ git submodule add https://github.com/sirver/ultisnips bundle/ultisnips

Configure the UltiSnips Plugin

  • Create a folder called mysnips (or similar) in your nvim folder.
  • In your init.vim, after the pathogen call, add the following:
let g:UltiSnipsSnippetDirectories=['/path/to/mysnips']
let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger="<tab>"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger="<c-j>"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger="<c-k>"

Create a new Java Snippet File

  • Create a new Java class file somewhere in your file system.
  • Open the new Java class with Neovim.
  • Type :UltiSnipsEdit to open a new Java snippet file.
  • Create your snippets!
