Vim

I use vim a lot for writing source code. It is fast, works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, and is very functional. It even allows to open files remotely from a server.

I don’t customize a lot the vimrc, but here are the minimum things I like to have:
set tabstop=2 set shiftwidth=2 set expandtab set guifont=Lucida_Console:h9:cANSI set hlsearch colorscheme jcmendez "My settings for exporting to HTML let html_use_css=1 let html_no_pre=1 " I want   to keep Python code well indented

Normally, I install Yasuhiro Matsumoto’s (mattn_jp@hotmail.com) calendar.vim plugin, which is really handy for keeping a work log of things done during the day.

My Vim colors file (in vimfiles/colors/jcmendez.vim):
" local syntax file - set colors on a per-machine basis: " vim: tw=0 ts=2 sw=2 " Vim color file " Maintainer: Juan C. Mendez (jcmendez@alum.mit.edu) " Last Change: 2006 Mar 27


set background=light

hi clear

if exists("syntax_on")

  syntax reset

endif

let g:colors_name = "jcmendez"
