## What it is
A collection of opinionated configuration files for vim and tmux, maintained by Square, primarily targeting Mac OS X. It bundles plugins like NERDTree, ctrlp.vim, and vim-surround with sensible keybindings and a simple rake-based installer.

## Use cases
- set up vim and tmux on a new mac
- get a preconfigured vim with NERDTree and ctrlp
- sensible tmux split and pane keybindings
- bootstrap my terminal development environment
- solarized color scheme for vim and tmux

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included vim/tmux setup on macOS with minimal effort
- you like Square's opinionated keybindings and want a maintained starting point

## When to avoid
- you are not on macOS
- you already have a carefully customized vim/tmux config
- you want a minimal or highly opinionated personal setup from scratch

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, editor
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: cli
- tags: vim, tmux, dotfiles, configuration, iterm2, command-line, macos
