VIM is a great editor

Ok, so I use VIM. I used to use Emacs, but I guess the starting time was bothering me. Also, for small sysadmin edits I used VIM already and I was mixing key strokes from Emacs and VIM.

• Some useful vim commands and settings

My VIM Settings

set nocompatible " We use a vim
set noautoindent 
set tabstop=2       " Tabs are two characters
set shiftwidth=2    " Indents are two charactes too
set expandtab       " Do not use tabs
"
syntax on           " Turn on syntax hilighting
"
set hlsearch        " Hilight the search results
set incsearch       " Incrementally search. Like Emacs
set matchpairs+=<:> " Also match <> when pressing %
set showmatch
