Introduction

SpaceVim is a community-driven Vim distribution that seeks to provide layer feature. Layers help collecting 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.

Enable layers

By default SpaceVim enable these layers:

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

To enable a specific layer you need to edit SpaceVim configuration file. The key binding for opening SpaceVim configuration file is 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
