SpaceVim is a community-driven modular vim distribution. It manages collections
of plugins in layers, which help collect related packages together to provide IDE-like features.
SpaceVim is not just a vimrc but an ultimate Vim configuration, It contains many build-in features.
See the [quick start guide](https://spacevim.org/quick-start-guide), [documentation](https://spacevim.org/documentation) or the [available layers](http://spacevim.org/layers/) for more information.
Here is a throughput graph of the repository for the last few weeks:

### New Features
This is a list of latest features implemented in SpaceVim:
**Iedit mode**
SpaceVim uses powerful iedit mode to quick edit multiple occurrences of a symbol or selection. Two new modes:`iedit-Normal`/`iedit-Insert`
The default color for iedit is `red`/`green` which is based on the current colorscheme.
**Highlight cursor symbol**
SpaceVim supports highlighting of the current symbol on demand and adds
a transient state to easily navigate and rename this symbol.
[**Fly Grep in Vim**](https://spacevim.org/grep-on-the-fly-in-spacevim/)
With this feature, vim will display the searching result as you type. Of course, it is running
asynchronously. Before using this feature, you need to install a searching tool. FlyGrep works
through search tools: `ag`, `rg`, `ack`, `pt` and `grep`, Choose one you like.
[**Mnemonic key bindings navigation**](http://spacevim.org/mnemonic-key-bindings-navigation/)
You don't need to remember any key bindings, as the mapping guide will show up after the SPC is pressed.
The mapping guide is also available for `g`, `z`, and `s`.
[**Help description for key bindings**](http://spacevim.org/help-description-for-key-bindings/)
use SPC h d k to get the help description of a key binding, and `gd` to find definition of key bindings.
[**Asynchronous plugin manager**](http://spacevim.org/Asynchronous-plugin-manager/)
create an UI for [dein.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim/) - the best asynchronous vim plugin manager
For more features, please read [SpaceVim's Blog](https://spacevim.org/blog/)
### Install
At a minimum, SpaceVim requires `git` to be installed. For a better graphical experience, install [nerd-font](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) and make sure your terminal supports [true colors](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728).
**Linux and macOS**
```bash
curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash
```
After SpaceVim is installed, launch `vim` and SpaceVim will **automatically** install plugins.
For more info about the installation script, please check:
```bash
curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash -s -- -h
```
**Windows**
The easiest way is to download [install.cmd](https://spacevim.org/install.cmd) and run it as administrator, or install SpaceVim manually.
