vimrc updated

Posted by HokieTux on December 3, 2008 in Code, News

This is just a heads-up that the vimrc I provide via bzr (or via direct link) has been updated.  Tom recently found a site or two that had some nifty settings I hadn’t stumbled across yet.  Changes include:

  • Now using smarter buffer-management via ‘set hidden’
  • Window title will now make sense
  • *** No longer have to scroll to bottom of screen for your screen to start scrolling! There is now a 15-line DMZ between your cursor and the bottom of the window!  Sorry for the asterisks… but this is the feature I’m most excited about.
  • Some smarter key mappings
  • Menu-completions for command-mode options/commands
  • Enabled the ‘matchit’ plugin (available in most repos)

There are a few other usability changes if you really feel like digging through it.  If anyone has anything they think should be added, please post and let me know!
