+# Vim setup
+
+documenting for myself
+
+## Sophia syntax highlighting
+
+todo. it's on github somewhere, not hard to find
+
+## fuzzy finding plugin
+
+this is annoying and requires like 10 minutes of setup.
+
+BUT this is super helpful in huge repositories such as the node codebase
+
+```
+sudo apt install bat fd-find fzf ripgrep
+```
+
+(devuan excalibur)
+
+ripgrep is optional, craig, but the vim plugin needs it if you want to search
+for regexes *inside* files
+
+say you're trying to quickly remember what the fuck `gmser_id:id()` is. Like is
+that the record or is that the 33-byte tagged public key? I can't remember and
+neither can you
+
+![](./uploads/ripgrep-vim.png)
+
+this saves you like 15 seconds and a bunch of context switching. each time
+
+the plugin is super annoying to install but basically don't follow any of the
+instructions in the repo. just clone the `fzf.vim` repo on github (google) to
+`~/.vim/bundle/fzf.vim`.
+
+you also need to tell vim to load the `.vim` file that ships with the package
+
+```
+[pharpend@picklet ioecs/GajuDesk master] % dpkg -L fzf

+
+last file there. put that file at `~/.vim/autoload/fzf.vim`
+
+should just work.
+
+- `:Files` opens the fuzzy file finder
+- `:Rg` is the interactive grep thing shown above
+
+i have this vimrc:
+
+```vim
+let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'fdfind --type f'
+noremap <C-e> :Files<CR>
+noremap <C-r> :Rg<CR>
+```
+
+the fdfind thing means fuzzy find doesn't surface files in your .gitignore
+(e.g. beam files, `_build` insanity)
+
+will try and see
