Ask HN: What's in your .vimrc file?
Other than the default stuff of course. As you can see, my additions are quite pathetic so far (only been into vim for a few months):

Do this to prevent yourself from learning the arrow keys while learning:
map <down> <nop>
map <left> <nop>
map <right> <nop>
map <up> <nop>
imap <down> <nop>
imap <left> <nop>
imap <right> <nop>
imap <up> <nop>
As you say, that's a good way to force your fingers to learn the way of h, j, k and l.
I started with vi so long ago that I remember being surprised around five years ago when I accidentally discovered that vim knows about the arrow keys. So I've never had to un-learn the arrow keys.
You may want to turn them back on eventually. It's nice to be able to move the cursor without thinking about it, whether your hands are on the keyboard, over the arrow keys or on the mouse, sort of like being able to play the chord you want no matter where your hand is on the fretboard.
As for my .vimrc, there are years of settings and commands I never use and can't remember what for, like junk DNA. I enjoy discovering and sharing the occasional treat, but I've gone pretty much meat and potatoes over the years.
Depending on your setup, your ruler (:set ruler) may or may not always show the file. This will make it always show:
set statusline=%<%F\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P
I like the tabula colorscheme, which you can find on vim.org:
colorscheme tabula
I like smartcase: set ic set smartcase
and I like the ability to override it when I search: /\Cfindonlylowercaseinstances (:help, and then look in chapter usr_27.txt)

I wonder why you were voted down (not answering OP question to the letter?) -- that's one of the nicest references I've seen.
Downvoting seems to be in fashion lately. I've noticed a lot of perfectly good comments voted down without any apparent cause, only to float back up later on.
This is something of the last two weeks or so, before that it was happening too, but much less frequently.
This is something of the last two weeks or so, before that it was happening too, but much less frequently.
Could it have something to do with the mechanism for voting and the prevalence of iPhones? I think it would be the cats meow if when detecting the iPhone or any mobile browser the down vote arrow was moved to the right of the title bar area. I say this because my fat fingered attempt at upvoting a comment has the reverse effect of my intent on many occasion.
PG, Are you still looking for a specific iPhone interface?
PG, Are you still looking for a specific iPhone interface?
Me too, I've done this on occasion on my iPhone. The arrows are so small and close together. If you see capitalized words in the middle of a sentence Like this, that too is the iPhone's fault.
Didn't we have one of these threads a little while ago? Ah yes, here we go:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821100
Here's a repost of my comment from that thread:
I've been using Vim for over ten years now, across several jobs and platforms and tasks, so my .vimrc and .gvimrc have gathered quite a bit of cruft. I keep them in a git repository along with my various other generically useful config files, and just check them out on each new machine I get an account on.
There's too much stuff in these files to describe what everything does, but there's a lot of comments, so along with the Vim online help you should be able to figure everything out:
.vimrc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/270714/
.gvimrc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/270716/
Highlights include a single key-binding for stepping through every buffer in every tab, consistent mouse-handling between console-vim and gvim, and code to automatically make gvim inherit the GNOME default monospace font.

I work on many different systems from time to time. I don't like to get too used to things that aren't universal. I have found out (the hard way) that relying on convenience can bite you in the ass when it's 3AM and you've been up for 67 consecutive hours and you execute some keystrokes from habit and they don't do what you expected.
I'll admit, I probably cripple my productivity overall for working this way, but it's what I'm used to.

You really could say that about anything. You could say that one shouldn't program in dynamically-typed languages because 'one day' you'll have to program in a statically-typed language and all your habits will 'bite you in the ass.' I think that you should really blame this part:
> and you've been up for 67 consecutive hours
Unless you're trying out for the SEALS, I don't think this is normally part of any job description. And I hardly think this is some sort of 'common case' that you should be planning for. There's a difference between preparing for the worst and over-preparing for the worst.

Don't get me wrong, there are many conveniences that I DO use.
However, for editors I've just always preferred to stay as basic and reliable as possible. vi is quick, easy, simple and has been on every *nix machine that I've ever walked up to. Relying on customizitions beyond that is, for me, sub-optimal.
I have had more than a handful of workdays that spanned 2 or 3 or 4 continuous days with little or no sleep at all (although thankfully not in several years). In those cases we were usually recovering from planned maintenance gone wrong. In one case I was trying to edit/update some config files, force software upgrades into a bunch core switches and dispatch pilots with spare parts. It was helpful, to me, to be able to rely on the basics as I hopped through SSH sessions from server to server (but, I did use host keys to speed my logins).
My case is moreso for edits and small customizations and not long sessions of coding, so I really don't NEED a whole lot beyond the basics of what I can memorize.

That can't be healthy. My longest stretch (age 17) was something like that and I fell down half a flight of stairs without waking up when going home.
Please be careful.

Out of curiosity, why not just wget or curl -O a file from a webserver?
Most of my work the last few years has been in the compliance and IT or Physical security (or converged) space.
The machines I am working on are not my own, and often have no access to the Internet directly.
However, I'm generally doing more "editing" than "coding" so it's not a major limitation anyway.

Plus the usual 4 space soft tab, autoindent stuff. I also highly suggest keeping your dotfiles in some kind of version control. It is definitely fun to see them grow, and I can't imagine working on multiple systems without it.

And to answer the poster, I tend to just use the default vim. I'm bouncing around machines so much that I don't bother setting anything up on my main one that I'll miss on the others...
My cure for that is putting my .vimrc on my site; then, from a foreign machine, I just do:
wget -O ~/.vimrc http://lucasoman.com/vimrc
And just like that, I'm in my comfort zone. Of course, this doesn't cover plugins and such, but I don't use those very often.
