[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
Enabling syntax highlighting runs afoul of the same problem that caused me to stop enabling filetype plugins by default in the Debian package. It causes Vim to source various script from its runtimepath. This cannot be undone by the user and therefore makes the user unable to make certain configuration changes that must occur before those files are sourced. -- Better vimrc default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
I agree regarding indentation. The description of this bug is not true; you just have to put 'set autoindent' in ~/.vimrc - not a big deal. IME the confusion caused by needing to do that is less than the confusion caused by people not realising that they need to do ':set paste' to paste things. Turning on syntax highlighting when you install the full vim package would make sense. -- Better vimrc default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've uploaded a fix for this in Jaunty. However, I declined this for Hardy. I don't think that this rises to the merit for an SRU in Hardy. It's a simple configuration change, with a trivial work around.

[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
I'm confirming the syntax on portion of this bug. I think this is a very sane default when full vim is installed. The indentation part, though, is more controversial, I'm afraid. Too often vim doesn't do the correct thing. Or, more precisely, there is no universal correct indentation. I think we can fix the color part without offending too many people.

[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
I vote for both auto-indent and color enabling. I doubt we will be able to enable the syntax highlighting Well, I say, enable it, if the functionality is not available, the selection will not harm anything, now, would it ? (PS: I just spent the last 20 minutes, trying to find where the color flag is. Found it, thanks to this bug description) Misc: Not sure it matters: Gentoo has color highlight enabled by default (I don't remember setting this on my gentoo box). -- Better vimrc default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
Is this the autoindent option? If so I find it incredibly annoying in a Debian install I sometimes have to work on, as it makes pasting code from another app impossible without first disabling the setting. -- Better vimrc default https://launchpad.net/bugs/63172 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63172] Re: Better vimrc default
Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that activating the indentation might be a good idea, but I doubt we will be able to enable the syntax highlighting, since vim-full isn't installed by default what as far as I know strips out the highlighting functionality. ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- Better vimrc default https://launchpad.net/bugs/63172 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
