vim-better-default
There are some general settings for convenience in almost everyone's .vimrc
file. Let's shorten your .vimrc
and make the default vim better.
Features
-
Out-of-the-box: address a ton of deficiencies of the default vim configurations that nearly everyone can agree upon.
-
Mnemonic key bindings: commands have mnemonic prefixes like
<Leader> b
for the buffer commands or<Leader> w
for the window commands.SPC
key is recommended as the leader key. You could also see the key bindings in wiki.
If new to Vim, you can install vim-better-default as a starting point, rather than copying some random vimrc you found.
If you have been a vimmer for quit a while, please see default.vim directly. In the beginning vim-better-default is intended for simplifying the tedious .vimrc
file, so you may also use it to shorten your .vimrc
.

option, then vim seemingly looks like no difference with the default vim, it only adds some essential funtionalities.
let g:vim_better_default_minimum = 1
If you want to exclude key mappings in vim-better-default, just set the value as 0.
let g:vim_better_default_key_mapping = 0
For more details, please refer to the default.vim. Don't worry. It is extremely simple and just part of your own .vimrc
file alike.
You can also fork vim-better-default and modify plugin/default.vim
for more customization.
How to override the existing settings?
default.vim
normally loads after your .vimrc
, making it a bit tricky to override. If you want to load it earlier, add the following content to your .vimrc
, then follow on the settings you want to override.
For instance, if you don't like relativenumber:
runtime! plugin/default.vim set norelativenumber
