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, documentation or the available layers for more information.

New Features

This is a list of latest features implemented in SpaceVim:

Use toml as default configuration

here is an example for using toml as SpaceVim config:

# This is basic configuration example for SpaceVim

# All SpaceVim option below [option] section
[options]
    # set spacevim theme. by default colorscheme layer is not loaded,
    # if you want to use more colorscheme, please load the colorscheme
    # layer
    colorscheme = "gruvbox"
    background = "dark"
    # Disable guicolors in basic mode, many terminal do not support 24bit
    # true colors
    guicolors = true
    # Disable statusline separator, if you want to use other value, please
    # install nerd fonts
    statusline_separator = "nil"
    statusline_separator = "bar"
    buffer_index_type = 4
    filetype_icon = false
    statusline_display_mode = false

# Enable autocomplete layer
[[layers]]
name = 'autocomplete'
auto-completion-return-key-behavior = "complete"
auto-completion-tab-key-behavior = "cycle"

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

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

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

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

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

create an UI for dein.vim - the best asynchronous vim plugin manager
