Thanks Jorin for this recommendation. It would be very helpful for me. Could you also take a look at my .vimrc file on github and recommend what more should I be adding on that ?
I think configuration is something really individual and you have to find out what works well for you.
I try to keep my configuration minimal and only add things I understand.
You chose a nice plugin manager with vim-plug. You can also tell it to only load packages for certain languages to speed up loading, like this:
If you feel comfortable with the features you use and like to learn something new, I recommend having a look at the :terminal feature that comes with Vim 8 and also NeoVim.
Keyboard shortcut mappings are one of the most subjective topics. Personally I prefer mapping unused key combos instead of using <Leader>, but you have to find out what works best for you.
You can have a look at my configuration if you search for some inspiration.
In terms of plugins my favorites are fugitive + gitgutter for Git and surround, commentary and unimpaired for great new shortcuts/functionality that I use every day. But better don't start using them all at once :)
Also remember that you can always lookup help:
What does this plugin do? :h fugitive
What is this shortcut? :h K
