Your .vimrc and You · Jul 20, 09:20 AM by Dylan Doxey

There you are, opening up a file in vim and you realize, "Oh, I've never used vim on this particular machine before." It can be an interesting challenge trying to enter your favorite settings all from memory. But I usually find this to be a time consuming distraction. The next time this occurs, I'm just going to cut & paste the following...

syntax on
let perl_fold = 1
let perl_fold_blocks = 1
set number                      

inoremap # X^H#
inoremap # X<C-H>#
set title            
set background=dark  

set autoindent

set backspace=indent,eol,start

set tabstop=4                  
set expandtab                  
set shiftwidth=4               
set shiftround                 

set matchpairs+=<:>            
nmap <C-right> zo
nmap <C-left> zc
nmap <C-S-left> zM
nmap <C-S-right> zR
nmap <F6> :%s/ \+$// <CR>
nmap <F5> :w<CR>:! perl -Tcw %<CR>

set pastetoggle=<F12>
