Dear Maintainer. I know of this:
> Vim will load $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim if the user does not have a vimrc. > This happens after /etc/vim/vimrc(.local) are loaded, so it will override > any settings in these files. But the settings in "defaults.vim" IMHO are just *completely* broken for several reasons: 1) Maybe due to a bug in Vim regarding mouse handling with "set mouse=a" Vim is just madly moving around the cursor and doing whatelse not for easily a minute in a lot of freshly installed Debian 9 VMs accesses via SSH and screen from Plasma´s Konsole terminal emulator. 2) Activated mouse handling breaks copy and paste text from Plasma´s clipboard by… auto-indenting and what else not. I know of "set nopaste" (or what else it was called)… but having to activate it is an additional nuisance. 3) Vim wordwraps by default now. I wonder about how many admins will break config files with long lines accidently by that new default behaviour. These defaults may be somewhat suitable for a desktop editor, but for Vim I think they are just plain broken. So I kindly ask you reconsider applying this broken configuration… or at least consider restoring a sane order in which Vim applies configuration: I think it is broken behaviour, that "defaults.vim" is loaded *after* "vimrc.local". The sane default would be this order: 1. Global vim configuration 2. /etc/vim/vimrc.local 3. $HOME/.vimrc The current order is a cross disrespect and paternalism for the local site admin. The order vim uses now makes it necessary for me to add let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 to *any* newly installed Debian 9 system. In addition to "screen" this is the second new default config that breaks existing setups. Thank you, -- Martin
