Introduction

SpaceVim is a community-driven Vim distribution that seeks to provides a layers feature.

Layers help collecting related packages together to provides 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.

Enable layers

By default SpaceVim enables these layers:

• autocomplete
• checkers
• format
• edit
• ui
• core
• core#banner
• core#statusline
• core#tabline

To enable a specific layer you need to edit SpaceVim's custom configuration files. The key binding for opening the configuration files.s SPC f v d.

The following example shows how to load shell layer with some specified options:

[[layers]]
    name = "shell"
    default_position = "top"
    default_height = 30

Disable layers

Some layers are enabled by default. The following example shows how to disable shell layer:

[[layers]]
    name = "shell"
    enable = false
