That time I had to compile Vim from source...

January 2, 2018

Recently, something broke in Homebrew's version of Vim. Several things seemed weird, but what first caught my eye was that misspelled words were no longer highlighted in Markdown files. This is a feature that I have previously configured and I use it often when writing blog posts and such.

Initially, I assumed I had a problem with my Vim settings. After much troubleshooting and no joy, I finally uninstalled Homebrew's version of Vim which caused my system to fall back to the default version of Vim that ships with macOS. Suddenly the highlighting worked fine.

After doing some further research, I decided I would try to compile and install Vim myself. After some googling and patching together a few different articles, this is what worked for me.

What I’ve learned about slow performance in Vim

What I’ve learned about slow performance in Vim

January 27, 2018

I started this PR because Vim had gotten very slow and laggy. The problem seemed particularly painful when editing Ruby files. For example, when trying to move down by holding the “j” key, the downward motion would continue for a second or two after I’d released the key, causing me to far overshoot my target.

There were many other performance issues beyond scrolling. Sometimes even just simply typing in insert mode was noticeably slow. I knew things were getting serious when I found myself watching tutorial videos for Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

Happily, I’ve found a path back to a speedy and responsive Vim. Here’s what I’ve learned.

How to Install Powerline on OS X

How to Install Powerline on OS X

Preface

This whole thing hinges on having the right version of Python installed. We're going to do it via Homebrew. You have to install Python BEFORE you install Vim. So if Vim is already installed (the Homebrew version, that is) then remove it first.

Installation

Check to see if vim or python are installed.
