The first day I started using Vim, I configured a bunch of basic settings that are mostly unchanged today.
They are the foundation of my vimrc. Simple things like showing line numbers (set number
) and the current mode (set showmode
), and converting tabs to spaces (set tabstop=4
).
I also disabled the arrow keys to force me to use hjkl
for everything. Here's what my vimrc looked like back then.
