Post your .vimrc w/ screenshot

[Ride Jib]

I'm enjoying the tweaking ability of vim, and would like to see what schemes and features others have going on. I'll get it started....

I really like your vimrc. I was hoping for more posts on this topic.

Yeah i using vim now that i know that it is customizable i think imight use it as a default text editor

[Shii]

command Crlf :%s/^M//g (^M = Ctrl+V Ctrl+M)

Good way to "fix" your Windows text files :)

Type :Crlf and all the ^Ms will go away. It will also make the file unreadable in Windows Notepad, but you don't care about Notepad, right?

Well I'm not sure if this is considerate necromancy.
Since there is an .emacs file thread, why not revive this one too?

Here is my .vimrc:
