probably the general configuration files have changed.
So look at the old
/usr/share/vim/vimrc
and make it your current .vimrc
(this should solve most of the problems)
if not
*syntax highlighting
*remembering the last search string
*remembering, for each file, the line I was at.
can be done by putting the followings into the relevant file:
set history=50 " keep 50 lines of command line history
set ruler " show the cursor position all the time
set incsearch " do incremental searching
# syntax highlighting (remove this line from file)
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
syntax on
set hlsearch
endif
if has("autocmd")
filetype plugin indent on
augroup vimrcEx
au!
autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
augroup END
else
set autoindent " always set autoindenting on
endif " has("autocmd")
and don't forget to set your terminal settings correctly (these are mostly
responsible for ^A and stuff).

Hi All,
My system was recently updated from Red Hat Enterprize 3 to RHE4, this
update including an updated of vim, from 6.1.320 to 6.3.82.
Now, with the new vim, many nice features were lost:
*syntax highlighting
*automatically viewing gzip compressed files
*directory browsing
*remembering the last search string
*remembering, for each file, the line I was at.
This is just what I found so far. Before that, when I tried vim version
7.something (an alpha version), I felt like I was walking even backwards -
moving with arrows while in insert mode produced ^A, ^B, ^C and ^D, like
in really old vi versions (before vim).
What is happening? Is there a global switch to get back modernism into my
life? Alternatively, how can I re-configure all those options on? This
solution is not as good as a global solution, because every day I find
another feature which was lost.
I should mention that both my .vimrc and my .virc are empty and have
always been. My home directory was not changed during the transfer - it is
NFS mounted.
Thanks,
Orna.
