My .vimrc

For those of you who are not familiar with <a href="vim.org">vim</a> (shame on you), it is a marvelously powerful text editor, which I use for coding and text editing in general (Latex, html, rails, ruby, etc). The only exception is scheme, for which I use <a href="http://plt-scheme.org/">DrScheme</a>, but that is another story. Anyway, .vimrc is the file that sits on your home directory and configures the state your vim will be. Here is mine for the curious. <div id="vim-code" text="#ffffff">   1 " An example for a gvimrc/vimrc file.   2 " The commands in this are executed when the GUI or vim is started.   3 "   4 " Maintainer:   Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>   5 " Last change:  2001 Sep 02   6 "   7 " To use it, copy it to   8 "     for Unix and OS/2:  ~/.gvimrc   9 "             for Amiga:  s:.gvimrc  10 "  for MS-DOS and Win32:  $VIM\_gvimrc  11 "           for OpenVMS:  sys$login:.gvimrc  12  13 " Make external commands work through a pipe instead of a pseudo-tty  14 "set noguipty  15  16 " set the X11 font to use  17 " set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1  18  19 " Switch on syntax highlighting if it wasn't on yet.  20 if !exists("syntax_on")  21     syntax on  22 endif  23  24 "SETTINGS  25 "  26 set ch=2                " Make command line two lines high  27 set mousehide           " Hide the mouse when typing text  28  29 "sets the default grepping engine to be ack-grep with the -a flag  30 "change this to --ruby or some other stuff for searching only ruby  31 "use it like this  32 ":grep Dumper perllib  33  34 set grepprg=ack-grep\ -a   35  36  37 " Switch on search pattern highlighting.  38 set hlsearch  39  40 "display current info all the time  41 set ruler  42  43 colorscheme twilight  44  45 "prettier font...  46 set guifont=Liberation\ Mono\ 12   47  48 " those next 2 commands are taken from a tip in <a href="http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=259">http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=259</a>  49 " They basically map to keys F1 -> toogle menu; F2 -> toggle toolbar  50  51 " get rid of toolbar  52 set guioptions-=T  53 :let g:toggleTool = 0  54 map <silent> <S-F2> :if g:toggleTool == 1<CR>:set guioptions-=T<CR>:set lines+=3<CR>:let g:toggleTool = 0<CR>:else<CR>:set lines-=3<CR>:set guioptions+=T<CR>:let g:toggleTool = 1<CR>:endif<CR>   55  56 " get rid of menu  57 set guioptions-=m  58 :let g:toggleMenu = 0  59 map <silent> <S-F1> :if g:toggleMenu == 1<CR>:set guioptions-=m<CR>:set lines+=1<CR>:let g:toggleMenu = 0<CR>:else<CR>:set guioptions+=m<CR>:let g:toggleMenu = 1<CR>:endif<CR>  60  61 "line numbers please...  62 set number  63  64 "set the incremental search  65 set incsearch  66  67 "remember more history  68 set history=500  69  70 "Generally the :substitute command changes only the first occurrence of the word  71 "unless you use the 'g' option.To make the 'g' option the default use this:  72 set gdefault  73  74 "this is for vim omni completion of ruby code.
