I, like all RIGHT and PROPER people, use a vi-derivative for my coding, as only terrrrrrrrsts, paedos, and smokers use emacs. Specifically, I'm using vim 7.0.
I recently intsalled a shiny new Debian Etch on my desktop at work. After a little fiddling with my ~/.vimrc it does exactly what I want with things like syntax highlighting, folding, indentation and so on. I also installed a shiny new Debian Etch in a virtual machine that I'm going to use to develop some code in. After exactly the same fiddling with my ~/.vimrc there it most certainly does *not* do what I want. So I consulted the fine manual, which told me to do, umm, exactly what I had done. Obviously, there's a difference in the configuration *somewhere* but determining precisely where all the configuration lives is Hard if all you've got is the manpages. I had to use strace, awk, md5sum and diff. To configure an editor.
