SpaceVim is a distribution of the vim editor that's inspired by spacemacs. It manages collections
of plugins in layers, which help collect related packages together to provide features. This
approach helps keep configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by keeping them
from having to think about what packages to install.

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.

## Features
[**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.
![searching project](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/35278709-7856ed62-0010-11e8-8b1e-e6cc6374b0dc.gif)
[**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`, `s`, `f` and `F`.
![mapping guide](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/35568184-9a318082-058d-11e8-9d88-e0eafd1d498d.gif)
[**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.
![describe key bindings](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/35568829-e3c8e74c-058f-11e8-8fa8-c0e046d8add3.gif)
[**Asynchronous plugin manager**](http://spacevim.org/Asynchronous-plugin-manager/)

![UI for dein](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/34907332-903ae968-f842-11e7-8ac9-07fcc9940a53.gif)
