RIPGREP
ripgrep is now my grep command and I can use [c and ]c for moving
between quickfix entries
INCCOMMAND
Setting this makes vim show the results of substitute commands as they
are types
When indenting or unindenting a code block, I normally visually select
it and use < or >. However, both of these unselect the selection.
The mappings make vim also do gv after such an action which re-selects
the previous selection.
By default, vim's reg-ex matching is weird. For example:
> * is special when not escaped but…
> + is special when escaped
> \{x,y} (escaping only the opening bracket) works but…
> You have to use \( \) (escape both parens)
> [] is special when both are unescaped

This had to be done in a FileType * autocmd so that it is done once file
type has been determined and textwidth is set, as suggested by tae on

Vim can open external files when the cursor is "over" them by pushing gx
If in a netrw window, simply x is used.
This is useful when in, for example, a markdown file. I can view the
image by putting the cursor over the path and pushing gx
Defines functions for each as autoload functions. I need to look into
weather it would be better to have this as a local function in a plugin.
The function for url encoding was taken from vim-unimpared:
https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired
I don't need all the functionality it provides
The function for base64 encoding was taken from vim-base64:
https://github.com/christianrondeau/vim-base64
although I use it with mappings in the vim-unimpared style
[b and ]b base64 encode and decode respectively
[u url encodes characters that are normally encodede in a url
[U url encodes all characters
]u and ]U both urldecode all encodede characters
The shebang line is used to determine which should interpreter should be
used when executing the file
The mapping here adds the string `#!/usr/bin/env ` at the begining of
the line.

* New windows opening right and down
* spellcheck language en_gb
* Tell vim it's a fast terminal
* number and relativenumber
* allow buffers to be backgrounded
* Try and keep cursor 5 lines from the bottom / top when scrolling
This involved adding a submodule which contains the gruvbox plugin.
Normally I have the background transparent when using vim but I am going
to try without that.
I have set my leader key to space and my local leader to \ which I am
used to
