Customizing your VIM session

Since we'll be using VIM quite a bit this semester (and hopefully beyond!), we should customize it to make it even more useful than it is already!

Create/Edit your ~/.vimrc file

Open your vim config file:

lab46:~$ vim ~/.vimrc

Enter settings

Here are some good starter settings you may find useful. Use your references to look up what these options do.

set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
syn on
set cursorline
set number
set smartindent

Save and exit when done.

When you next open vim to edit a file, you should notice some differences in both appearance and behavior.
