Bullet lists autoformatting for text files in vim

In ~/.vim/after/ftplugin create a file text.vim containing

" Vim filetype plugin file
" Language: text
" Maintainer: Alexander Lobov 
" Last Change: 2014 Mar 27

" Only do this when not done yet for this buffer

if exists("b:did_ftplugin")
  finish
endif

" Don't load another plugin for this buffer
let b:did_ftplugin = 1

setlocal autoindent
setlocal formatoptions=tcroqln

The main strings are

setlocal autoindent
setlocal formatoptions=tcroqln

You .vimrc file should have

  filetype plugin indent on

line.

ctag and csope for java

The same script as in this post, but for Java:

$ cat ~/bin/javatags
#!/bin/sh
workdir=`pwd`
workdir=${workdir/\/c/c:}
echo Work directory: $workdir

if [ ! -d cscope ]
then
   echo Creating cscope directory
   mkdir cscope
fi

echo Generating ctags
cd $workdir
ctags -R --language-force=java .

echo Generating cscope
cd /
find $workdir -name "*.java" > $workdir/cscope/cscope.files
cd $workdir/cscope
cscope -bq

echo Complete

Use :tjump instead of :tag in vim

Often when you press CTRL-] in vim there are several options to jump on. By default CTRL-] is mapped to :tag command, and you need to use :tselect after CTRL-] to see all alternatives. It is more convenient to see the list right away after pressing CTRL-]. vim already has such a command: :tjump. You just need to remap CTRL-] to :tjump instead of :tag:

nnoremap <c-]> g<c-]>
vnoremap <c-]> g<c-]>

nnoremap g<c-]> <c-]>
vnoremap g<c-]> <c-]>

Not using of syntax highlighting

About a month ago I turned off syntax highlighting in vim. And it turns out that syntax highlighting does not matter. The code has not lost any readability. Moreover, nothing distracts me and I can concentrate on the code, not on the highlighting. So bravely remove or comment out the following lines from your .vimrc:

"if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  " syntax on
  " set hlsearch
"endif

or just

syntax off
set bg=dark

If you want your gvim looking like vim in a terminal, try xterm16 colorscheme.

if has("gui_running")
    colo xterm16
endif
