This project is a Personal side Project of the 42 curriculum by lenivorb aka Lexxythelizard

lexvim

Description

42-lexvim is a small personal Vim toolkit for 42-style C development. It provides reusable skeletons, snippets, and custom Vim commands to speed up file creation and reduce repetitive boilerplate while keeping the workflow lightweight, terminal-friendly, and compatible with the 42 coding environment.

Also it contains three very usefull default settings:

• tabstob was set to 4
• line numbers here displayed on the left
• when opening a .c file the :Stdheader was executed automaticly

Instructions

copy this to theroot of your 42 machine

cp [path to cloned repo]/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

cp -r [path to cloned repo]/templates/* ~/.vim/templates/
cp -r [path to cloned repo]/snippets/in_C* ~/.vim/snippets/

before You do so check

ls -a ~/*

and

ls -Ra ~/.vim/

if you allready have a ~/.vimrc be carefull to not overwrite and consider rather

cat ./[cloned repo]/.vimrc >> ~/.vimrc

Attention

Handle code with care ask peers incl older students if Your unsure

apply changes to your machine, do not try to use in exams --> this would be cheating ;)
