I can’t live without these options:

set background=dark
set belloff=all
set complete-=i
set completeopt=menu,menuone,noselect
set cursorline
set hidden
set hlsearch
set incsearch
set number
set omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
set path+=.,,
set pumheight=12
set relativenumber
set showmode
set wildmenu
set wildmode=longest:full,full
set wildoptions=pum,tagfile

Use gx to open URLS or paths without Netrw :D

nnoremap gx :silent !xdg-open <cfile><CR>

Keep visual selection when shifting text

xnoremap < <gv
xnoremap > >gv

I use buffers more than tabs but these tab keymaps are convenient

nnoremap <leader>1 1gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>2 2gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>3 3gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>4 4gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>5 5gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>6 6gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>7 7gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>8 8gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>9 9gt<cr>
nnoremap <leader>t :tabnew<cr>
nnoremap <leader>x :tabclose<cr>

Use fzy to pick files :O

function! FzyCommand(choice_command, vim_command)
  try
    let output = system(a:choice_command . " | fzy ")
  catch /Vim:Interrupt/
    " Swallow errors from ^C, allow redraw! below
  endtry
  redraw!
  if v:shell_error == 0 && !empty(output)
    exec a:vim_command . ' ' . output
  endif
endfunction

nnoremap <leader>ff :call FzyCommand("fd", ":e")<cr>

My favorite plugins

• comment (comment package bundled with vim)
• vim-gitgutter (Git gutter markings and diff navigation)
• vim-mucomplete (automatic omnicompletion )
• vim-repeat (repeating actions)
• vim-surround (easily surrounding text)
• vim-unimpaired (several useful mappings, I use [<space> and ]<space> often to add lines)

It’s a brand of flavored sparkling water.

I’d recommend reading man pages. They’re a great way to understand the programs that are on your system. The Arch Wiki and the Gentoo Wiki both provide additional information that may be of use to you.

I didn’t realize how cool Wayland is. I’m going to start transitioning from dwm to dwl ⸜( ^ ᵕ ^ )⸝♡
