" An example for a vimrc file. " " Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar " Last change: 2014 Feb 05 " " To use it, copy it to " for Unix: ~/.vimrc " for MS-DOS and Win32: $VIM\_vimrc " Use Vim settings, rather than Vi settings (much better!). " This must be first, because it changes other options as a side effect. set nocompatible " allow backspacing over everything in insert mode set backspace=indent,eol,start set backup " keep a backup file (restore to previous version) set undofile " keep an undo file (undo changes after closing) set history=50 " keep 50 lines of command line history set ruler " show the cursor position all the time set showcmd " display incomplete commands set incsearch " do incremental searching " For Win32 GUI: remove 't' flag from 'guioptions': no tearoff menu entries " let &guioptions = substitute(&guioptions, "t", "", "g") " Don't use Ex mode, use Q for formatting map Q gq " CTRL-U in insert mode deletes a lot. Use CTRL-G u to first break undo, " so that you can undo CTRL-U after inserting a line break. inoremap u " In many terminal emulators the mouse works just fine, thus enable it. if has('mouse') set mouse=a endif " Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has colors " Also switch on highlighting the last used search pattern. if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running") syntax on set hlsearch endif " Only do this part when compiled with support for autocommands. if has("autocmd") " Enable file type detection. " Use the default filetype settings, so that mail gets 'tw' set to 72, " 'cindent' is on in C files, etc. " Also load indent files, to automatically do language-dependent indenting. filetype plugin indent on " Put these in an autocmd group, so that we can delete them easily. augroup vimrcEx au! " For all text files set 'textwidth' to 78 characters. autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78 " When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position. " Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event handler " (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
