archlinux vim, vimrc file

i hate it.

and i wonderd why it is that the default vimrc should be edited?
it somehow disables multiple undo's.
page up/down home/end don't work like i'm used to.
and there was something else that i've forgotten right now.

was there some reason to it?

I'm only guessing here, but its possible they wanted a vi-compatible vim for installs on minimal boxes...

There's nothing stopping you from using a different one though. 8)

nah, it's not a biggy or anything.

but i just had a bad vim week.
3 diffrent servers, with 3 diffrent vimrc files.

then when i came home i wanted to start a little php project for myself, just to find that all buttons i press regularly, din't work.

So then i went to look why and noticed that the default vimrc file get's patched.

so i just needed to get some steam out of my head

(from this day forth, i'm probebly going to be carrieng a cd with a standard vimrc file with me or something.)

The best way would be to throw your prefered vimrc file onto a webserver and wget it to all the servers you use anyway.

A true text-editing man carries his .vimrc, .emacs, and .elisp around on a USB key to never be without his favorite keystrokes

Just rename /etc/vimrc or remove it. Actually, that's one of the first things I do with a new install.
