Same!! What I loved about MacVim is that it’s such an easy Vim to get into, you just install it then install Janus and you’re pretty much done. From my blog:

MacVim

brew install MacVim

If you want to use Janus, it can be installed by running this in terminal:

curl -L https://bit.ly/janus-bootstrap | bash

vim ~/.gvimrc.after

In it paste:

color elixify
set guifont=Monaco:h12
let g:NERDTreeWinPos = "right"
set guioptions-=T " Removes top toolbar
set guioptions-=r " Removes right hand scroll bar
set go-=L " Removes left hand scroll bar
autocmd User Rails let b:surround_{char2nr('-')} = "<% \r %>" " displays <% %> correctly
:set cpoptions+=$ " puts a $ marker for the end of words/lines in cw/c$ commands

Then in terminal, to give it some breathing space at the top do:

defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMTextInsetTop ‘5’

To install the Elixify theme download from here and follow the instructions for MacVim.

mkdir ~/.vim/colors
cd ~/.vim/colors
open .
#copy Elixify.vim there

Don’t think Janus includes any LS support though.

Looks like a great starting point Bart - are you volunteering? :lol:

I downloaded it a little while ago but didn’t like how it kept wanting to dial out. Have you tried it? What do you think of it?

This video is making me want to stick it out with Doom - I quite liked Spacemacs just didn’t like how ‘slow’ it felt… maybe it’s worth putting up with…
