recently, I started programming Racket (formerly Scheme) in DrRacket. I quite fast I began to miss all the features of VIM in DrRacket, so I would like to use VIM for my scheme(racket) programming.
I know that Emacs might be the best choice for intense lisp programming, but all I want is write a scheme(racket) file check syntax and then run it.
Unfortunately, I could not figure out, how to invoke "racket" in the commandline on a file to get it doing the same as DrRacket.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, VIM 7.3 and I downloaded and installed Racket from the official website.
Help to get started would be very appreciated.
If you just want to load a file into Racket on the command-line and run it, I think that this should work:
$ racket -f file.scm -i
The -i option would leave you at the REPL to test your code in file.scm.
However, you might want to take a look at this blog post:

You can set up a GNU screen session running the command-line Racket, and send s-expressions to it from Vim. There's a link to a bit of Vimscript which will make this automatic. I used this for a while with mit-scheme, and it was reasonably effective. It's not quite the as powerful as SLIME or DrRacket though. I just tested the steps described on OS X and it works with the command-line racket, it should work on Ubuntu, that's what I was using when I first used this method.
You might also want to take a look at this:
http://evalwhen.com/scmindent/index.html
... which has some information on better indentation in Vim for Lisp and Scheme code.
I eventually switched to Emacs, but don't let the Vim haters get you down. Paul Graham supposedly uses vi and he's gotta be one of the top 5 most prominent Lisp programmers.
Several add-ons are available to make coding in Racket more satisfying with Vim.
- Vim’s lisp mode (
set lisp) -- improves some basics for indenting andw/e/bword-hopping. - vim-racket -- sizable set of vim-syntax recognition for functions and syntax
- syntastic -- identify errors upon save (vim-racket sets
makeprgfor this to work) - Rainbow Parentheses -- set your own paren colors for maximal contrast!
- vim-slime -- use with Tmux to connect Vim to a Racket REPL
- surround -- wrap forms and elements in parens
- vim-sexp for normal people
- Molokai color scheme -- high contrast
- VROD* --
K-based Vim documenation, and auto-completion of Racket functions - REPTL* -- very simple continuous rackunit test runner
I prefer slime over slimv for its simplicity.
If you are using Vundle, here is a way to install most of the add-ons mentioned:
Plugin 'tpope/vim-surround.git'
Plugin 'kien/rainbow_parentheses.vim'
Plugin 'scrooloose/syntastic.git'
Plugin 'MicahElliott/vrod'
Plugin 'guns/vim-sexp'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-sexp-mappings-for-regular-people'
Plugin 'wlangstroth/vim-racket'
Plugin 'tomasr/molokai.git'
Put those into your ~/.vimrc, and then invoke to install:
% vim +PluginInstall +qall
Here is a screenshot showing off most of these:
(* disclosure: I wrote VROD and REPTL, and they are immature)
Also, here is a related blog post describing a Vim/SICP setup.
As of about a week ago, SLIMV (SLIME for Vim) supports Racket. SLIMV is generally regarded as the most mature Lisp environment for Vim at the moment.
