Go back to fan’s Tex4Econ and Miscellaneous Repository.
Vim ships with Debian. Also install neo-vim:
vim
sudo apt-get install neovimJust installing onedark, neovim seems to work better than vim. Vim has delete lag, and extra white space rows at the bottom of the screen that could take up very large screen segment. Neovim with onedark does not have this issue, could be due to some basic setting differences.
Follow the instructions here for installations. Several steps:
# curl plug.vim
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
# create vimrc file
cd $HOME
vim .vimrc
# paste into file the text below.Example .vimrc file with only one package one dark atom visual for vim:
if empty(glob('~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim'))
silent !curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs
\ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source $MYVIMRC

To set command prompt to full screen (to get rid of scrolling bar on the right in full screen), use windows command prompt which allows for full screen, right click on window top border, choose property, then choose layout, then set height and width of window size and buffer size to be the same. This will allow for full screen experience.

~.Vim seems frozen (hard for vim to freeze, it is not really frozen). This is likely due to pressing ctrl + s, then need to press ctrl + q.
vim error: “E297: Write error in swap file”
# Trying to save
:w
# E297 can not save, override changes elswhere, and force save what is on screen.
:e!pressing esc key is an issue, too far away. On chromebook, remap the search key which is in the spot of the caps lock key to esc. and remap the esc key to search key.
