Initial Setup on 2019/10/28 (Vim, Tmux)

My journey to Vim is rather a slowly one: about a week's worth of coding on side project to get the hang of it, enable Vim mode in VS Code for about a month to get use to the flow (with arrow keys from time to time...), and, onward to tinkering with config of terminal and Vim to get it a more IDE-like feel.

The current setup, on 2019/10/28, after tinkering with config file with a myriad of boilerplates for 2 days, is in the following:
