Aubrey's gVim: Customized Vim Text Editors

A customized distribution of the Vim text editor with additional features and optimizations for programmers, including plugins, color schemes, and config options tailored for coding.

What is Aubrey's gVim?

Aubrey's gVim is a fork of the popular Vim text editor that has been customized with extra features and configurations aimed at programmers and software developers. It was created by Aubrey Taylor and includes many of his own plugins, color schemes, and opinionated settings optimized for writing and editing code.

Some of the additional features in Aubrey's gVim include snippets, auto-completion, enhanced syntax highlighting, a file browser, and IDE-like capabilities for navigating and understanding codebases. It comes preconfigured with optimizations like line numbering, visual guides, tab/spacing options, and project-aware search paths to enhance coding workflows.

While retaining Vim's modal editing style and keyboard-driven interface, Aubrey's gVim expands on it to lower the learning curve for newcomers while also boosting the productivity of experienced Vimmers. Its tailored configuration reduces setup time and makes Vim friendlier for programming from the start. An active community behind the project also maintains and extends Aubrey's vim configs to improve the out-of-box developer experience.

With Aubrey's curation and customization, gVim becomes an extensible, lightweight IDE supporting many programming languages. It balances performance, flexibility and developer productivity thanks to Vim's core plus thoughtful tweaks from years of design iteration specifically for coding.
