As an addendum to http://items.sjbach.com/319/configuring-vim-right
Here’s a few more that I think are un-live-able-without:
" ease of use keyboard mappings (why do I care about top/bottom of screen?)
map H ^
map L $
" buffer switching/management, might as well use those keys for something useful
map <Right> :bnext<CR>
imap <Right> <ESC>:bnext<CR>
map <Left> :bprev<CR>
imap <Left> <ESC>:bprev<CR>
map <Del> :bd<CR>
" get rid of stupid scrollbar/menu/tabs/etc
set guioptions=a
" don't need /g after :s or :g
set gdefault
" i prefer this to visualbell
set noerrorbells
" Hide the mouse pointer while typing
set mousehideI’ve used all of these for longer than I can remember, probably time to troll through recent help files and vim.org to find new and exciting juicy settings.
EDIT: forgot the one I miss the most when I don’t have my .vimrc:
cab o findso that :o does something useful. I’d like one of the emacs-style smart-fuzz-file-opener command line thing, I should probably hunt around for a plugin to do that.
