🖥 Using vim as a laravel/phpstorm developer

# Using vim as a laravel developer
Ok, using vim as a phpstorm replacment, this is prettyyyy close.

Here are the steps and the useful parts to know.

# First things first, install awesome-vim, this gets 90% of the stuff you need and its maintained
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh

# Next I'd say you're going to want phpunit baked in and here is an awesome plugin for that:
git clone https://github.com/c9s/phpunit.vim.git ~/.vim_runtime/my_plugins/phpunit.vim

# Run inside vim: -- this will let you click and drag panes to resize or jump between (learning vim more and being able to jump panes
# makes this unecessary, but i'm not that good yet.)
:set mouse=a

# So now some sections on easy key commands/shortcuts

## Splitting VIM screen Horizontally and Vertically
To open a new VIM window next to the existing one, press <Ctrl>+<w> then press <v>.

## Move panes around vim (left/right or top/bottom)
Ctrl w + L - Move the current window to the "far right"
Ctrl w + H - Move the current window to the "far left"
Ctrl w + J - Move the current window to the "very bottom"
Ctrl w + K - Move the current window to the "very top"

## Copying everything into clipboard
gg"*yG

## Indenting all the code
# Still need to look into a more serious formatter like:
https://github.com/vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat
gg=G

# AwesomeVIM Leader Key Shortcut
You'll see vim plugins mention <leader>, that <leader> for awesome view is "," so whenever you see leader hit that key.

## phpunit
### Set the path of phpunit (most cases for me, vendor/bin/phpunit)
let g:phpunit_bin = 'phpunit'

### Shortcuts
<leader>ta - Run all test cases
<leader>ts - Switch between source & test file
<leader>tf - Run current test case class

# Folding
`zo` to open folding
`zc` to close folding

# NerdTREE
<leader>nn - Toggles NerdTREE
While inside NerdTREE hit "m" to do a number of modifications from renaming, deleting or adding files.

# Terminal
Typing ":term" will open a terminal pane similar to phpstorm.

Of course you can reference https://github.com/amix/vimrc for more tips and tricks, such as <leader>w to write a file or <Ctrl+f> to fuzzy search for a file.
