Calling all dojo users of VIM; what are your favorite configuration options?
Hello all VIM users, I made a .vimrc for you to use with VIM. Of course this one is configured to make drupal developement under vim easier. I'am not a experienced VIM-user, so everyone that has suggestions to more features or anything related to VIM, throw them in here. For you concerned about forking documentation, look at this as docoumentation-dev. And the handbookpages as stable.
To make use of this config, do the following in your command line:
~$ touch .vimrc
~$ vim .vimrcNow add this configuration to your .vimrc:
NOTE! asterix symbols is filtered out on this wiki. So I have attached the .vimrc file for you to download.
Comments are initiated with " and are placed above the the configuration line to explain what it does.

"set whatever colorschema you want, this time we use oceandeep which you can find at http://www.vim.org

Thank you victor!
I took the
set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2in one line. Much cleaner that way.set nocompatibleis a bit of a mystery too me, this got something to do with vi (the father of vim).. care to explain?The manual explains that one should be careful with this setting. And that it should, if specified, be in the very beginning of the .vimrc
Yeah, sorry, can't remember
Yeah, sorry, can't remember for the life of me what that is doing there. Might be a holdover from some ruby on rails stuff... I suppose it should be omitted ...

update
The
autocmd BufRead .inc,.module set ft=php gives filetypes with the ending .inc .module and .php the php syntax highlighting.
The
colors oceandeepis of course just an example of colorschema, use you whatever schema you prefer.The
set incsearchgives you incremental word search. Will highlight word as type..The
set hlsearchwill highlight ALL words that match your search. They will stay highlighted as you scroll down.Eg.
:/ifelsewill then highlight all ifelse statements.well this is my .vimrc
morphir, my friend this is a good idea ..
i think sharing my .vimrc will be ok as it explains itself

the first line is drupal functions dictionary from here http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1675
autcmd series display current line highlighted so that it is gonna be known (in insert mode) and removes it if anyother mode
the let used to organize open buffers with a plugin minbufexplorer
the mapping to easy copy and paste .. i forget to map the cut too :)
and the last line to set the gui font face which is i like most the "bitstream vera sans mono" in size 10
hope to be helpful ..
TagList plugin
While we are on the subject of vim, one of the plugins I use every day with it is the TagList plugin, which uses exuberant tags to provide an overview of the structure of source code files and efficient browsing through source code files.
I have a write-up with instructions on how to install and setup here: http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/153
