VIM Configuration

Vim is one of the greatest editors of all time. Here you can find my Vim config and other files that I have come across over the years. One of the greatest strengths of Vim is how customizable it is and this page is dedicated to all the tweaks and scripts that make Vim better. I use Vim on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux for those interested be sure to check out the MacVim page.

Configuration files

Here are my current configuration files for those interested. vimrc, gvimrc It is just the raw files, you should not use them as they containt very specific settings for macros and plugins I have installed. But they are useful and nice to see what other people are using (that’s how I’ve found some killer tips).
