I recommend using Fira Code (it's an open-source and awesome font that can make your code beautiful)..
You can install through homebrew:
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font
I recommend reading the docs of these plugins to understand them better. Each plugin provides a much better Vim experience!

The leader is ,, so whenever you see <leader> it means ,.
Find a file to open with FZF (<leader>o):
map <leader>o :Files<cr>
Open the silver searcher to find across all files (<leader>f):
map <leader>f :Ag<CR>
NERD Tree mappings:
map <leader>nn :NERDTreeToggle<cr>
map <leader>nb :NERDTreeFromBookmark
Fast saving of a buffer (<leader>w):
nmap <leader>w :w!<cr>
Map <Space> to / (search) and <Ctrl>+<Space> to ? (backwards search):
map <space> /
map <c-space> ?
map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>
Disable highlights when you press <leader><cr>:
map <silent> <leader><cr> :noh<cr>
Smart way to move between windows (<ctrl>j etc.):
map <C-j> <C-W>j
map <C-k> <C-W>k
map <C-h> <C-W>h
map <C-l> <C-W>l
Closing of the current buffer(s) (<leader>bd and (<leader>ba)):
" Close current buffer
map <leader>bd :Bclose<cr>
" Close all buffers
map <leader>ba :1,1000 bd!<cr>
Useful mappings for managing tabs:
map <leader>tn :tabnew<cr>
map <leader>to :tabonly<cr>
map <leader>tc :tabclose<cr>
map <leader>tm :tabmove
" Opens a new tab with the current buffer's path
" Super useful when editing files in the same directory
map <leader>te :tabedit <c-r>=expand("%:p:h")<cr>/
Switch CWD to the directory of the open buffer:
map <leader>cd :cd %:p:h<cr>:pwd<cr>
Quickly open a buffer for scripbble:
map <leader>q :e ~/buffer<cr>
Toggle paste mode on and off:
map <leader>pp :setlocal paste!<cr>
Visual mode pressing * or # searches for the current selection:
vnoremap <silent> * :call VisualSelection('f')<CR>
vnoremap <silent> # :call VisualSelection('b')<CR>
When you press gv you Ack.vim after the selected text:
vnoremap <silent> gv :call VisualSelection('gv', '')<CR>
When you press <leader>r you can search and replace the selected text:
vnoremap <silent> <leader>r :call VisualSelection('replace')<CR>
Surround the visual selection in parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
vnoremap $1 <esc>`>a)<esc>`<i(<esc>
vnoremap $2 <esc>`>a]<esc>`<i[<esc>
vnoremap $3 <esc>`>a}<esc>`<i{<esc>
vnoremap $$ <esc>`>a"<esc>`<i"<esc>
vnoremap $q <esc>`>a'<esc>`<i'<esc>
vnoremap $e <esc>`>a"<esc>`<i"<esc>
Quickly insert parenthesis/brackets/etc.:
inoremap $1 ()<esc>i
inoremap $2 []<esc>i
inoremap $3 {}<esc>i
inoremap $4 {<esc>o}<esc>O
inoremap $q ''<esc>i
inoremap $e ""<esc>i
inoremap $t <><esc>i
Insert the current date and time (useful for timestamps):
iab xdate <c-r>=strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S")<cr>
$q is super useful when browsing on the command line. It deletes everything until the last slash:
cno $q <C-\>eDeleteTillSlash()<cr>
Bash like keys for the command line:
cnoremap <C-A> <Home>
cnoremap <C-E> <End>
cnoremap <C-K> <C-U>
cnoremap <C-P> <Up>
cnoremap <C-N> <Down>
Write the file as sudo (works only on Unix). Super useful when you open a file and you don't have permissions to save your changes. Vim tip:
:W
Pressing <leader>ss will toggle spell checking:
map <leader>ss :setlocal spell!<cr>
Shortcuts using <leader> instead of special characters:
map <leader>sn ]s
map <leader>sp [s
map <leader>sa zg
map <leader>s? z=
Query :help cope if you are unsure what cope is. It's super useful!
When you search with Ack.vim, display your results in cope by doing:
<leader>cc
To go to the next search result do:
<leader>n
To go to the previous search results do:
<leader>p
Cope mappings:
map <leader>cc :botright cope<cr>
map <leader>co ggVGy:tabnew<cr>:set syntax=qf<cr>pgg
map <leader>n :cn<cr>
map <leader>p :cp<cr>
Just do following:
- Remove
~/.vim - Remove any lines that reference
.vimin your~/.vimrc
