Adding your own customization

To conveniently add your own customization, copy vimrc.preload to ~/.vimrc.preload, and vimrc.afterload to ~/.vimrc.afterlaod.

Changing the default color scheme

Edit ~/.vimrc.preload:

let g:custom_background = 'light'
let g:custom_colorscheme = 'solarized'

Adding your plugins

Edit ~/.vimrc.preload:

let g:custom_plugins = [
      \   ['NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme'],
      \ ]

Reload .vimrc and run :PlugInstall.

let g:custom_disabled_plugins = [
      \   'sneak',
      \   'go',
      \ ]

FAQ

How dare you remap s?

You can specify any mapping for Sneak (see :help sneak). By the way: cl is equivalent to s, and cc is equivalent to S.
