That version is extremely obsolete. It is possible to install your own version (without root privilege), but really you should use a large cluestick on your admins. > Right now I have all my mappings and abbreviations and those > things in a single file: ~/.vimrc Clearly that is not > efficient given I am using the same setup if I edit a python > script, a HTML document, a C++ one, etc. Not good. It is tricky working out all the details, and I don't know of any good docs apart from Vim's help (which, since it covers all the details and exceptions, is particularly dense in this area). However, you should get a good start simply by looking at the following two examples (ignore what the tips actually do, just see how the script is arranged): http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_for_visually_selected_text http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Indenting_source_code The first puts a script in the plugin directory so it's always available. The second uses ftplugin so it's only loaded when files for a particular file type are edited. Following is another example which uses ftplugin for a new file type and so does not have to worry about using after/ftplugin as in the above: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Edit_MoinMoin_wiki_files_with_folding You can also see some advice: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Keep_your_vimrc_file_clean John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
