" An example for a vimrc file, forked from the original provided by Bram.

" Maintainer: Klaus Zimmermann <https://quitter.se/kzimmermann>
" Original Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
"
" To use it, copy it to
"     for Unix and OS/2:  ~/.vimrc
"	      for Amiga:  s:.vimrc
"  for MS-DOS and Win32:  $VIM\_vimrc
"	    for OpenVMS:  sys$login:.vimrc

" When started as "evim", evim.vim will already have done these settings.
if v:progname =~? "evim"
  finish
endif

" Use Vim settings, rather than Vi settings (much better!).
" This must be first, because it changes other options as a side effect.
set nocompatible

" allow backspacing over everything in insert mode
set backspace=indent,eol,start

"if has("vms")
"  set nobackup		" do not keep a backup file, use versions instead
"else
"  set nobackup		" keep a backup file
"endif
set history=50		" keep 50 lines of command line history
set ruler		" show the cursor position all the time
set showcmd		" display incomplete commands
set incsearch		" do incremental searching

"-------------------
" kzimmermann's personal preferences go here:

" Tabs are 4-characters wide, strictly composed of space characters. 
" My house, my rules
set ts=4
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
set ai

" I now prefer to leave wrapping on to help me write extensive documentation
" like Markdown and HTML with long lines.
set wrap
set linebreak

set nobackup

" GUI stuff, most for playing along with GVIM.
set guifont=Monospace\ 12
colorscheme elflord

" Unicode is your friend, and using it is a good habit :)
set fileencoding=UTF-8
set encoding=UTF-8

" preferences end.
"-------------------

" For Win32 GUI: remove 't' flag from 'guioptions': no tearoff menu entries
" let &guioptions = substitute(&guioptions, "t", "", "g")

" Don't use Ex mode, use Q for formatting
map Q gq

" CTRL-U in insert mode deletes a lot.  Use CTRL-G u to first break undo,
" so that you can undo CTRL-U after inserting a line break.
inoremap <C-U> <C-G>u<C-U>

" In many terminal emulators the mouse works just fine, thus enable it.
if has('mouse')
  set mouse=a
endif

" Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has colors
" Also switch on highlighting the last used search pattern.
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  set hlsearch
endif

" Only do this part when compiled with support for autocommands.
if has("autocmd")

  " Enable file type detection.
  " Use the default filetype settings, so that mail gets 'tw' set to 72,
  " 'cindent' is on in C files, etc.
  " Also load indent files, to automatically do language-dependent indenting.
  "filetype plugin indent on

  " Put these in an autocmd group, so that we can delete them easily.

  " When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
  " Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event handler
  " (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
  " Also don't do it when the mark is in the first line, that is the default
  " position when opening a file.
