Some people might like this, 6 but we have a high preference to run vim in vim mode (else we wouldn't 7 have included vim in this book, but the original vi). Create the 8 <filename>/root/.vimrc</filename> by running the following:</para> 5 <para>By default, <userinput>vim</userinput> runs in vi-compatible mode. Some 6 people might like this, but we prefer to run <userinput>vim</userinput> in its 7 own mode (else we wouldn't have included it in this book, but the original 8 <userinput>vi</userinput>). Create a default vim configuration file by running 9 the following:</para> 9 10 10 <screen><userinput>cat > / root/.vimrc << "EOF"</userinput>11 " Begin / root/.vimrc11 <screen><userinput>cat > /etc/vimrc << "EOF"</userinput> 12 " Begin /etc/vimrc 12 13 13 14 set nocompatible 14 set bs=2 15 set backspace=2 16 syntax on 15 17 16 " End / root/.vimrc18 " End /etc/vimrc 17 19 <userinput>EOF</userinput></screen> 20 21 <para>The <userinput>set nocompatible</userinput> will make 22 <userinput>vim</userinput> behave in a more useful way than the default 23 vi-compatible manner. The <userinput>set backspace=2</userinput> allows 24 backspacing over line breaks, autoindent and the start of insert. And the 25 <userinput>syntax on</userinput> switches on <userinput>vim</userinput>'s 26 semantic colouring.</para> 18 27 19 28 </sect2>
