Vim has so many options to customise.
For example: if you want line number in left most column you can do
that by doing as follow:
1. press <Esc> to enter
into command mode
2. type :set
nu and press enter
See how easily you customise it. There are so many options that you can try. Few useful tweaks are added below. Give it a try.
:set nu | show line number |
:set rnu | show relative line number |
:set noswapfile | no any swapfile will be created. By default vim creates .swp files. |
:set cursorline | show cursorline |
:set tabstop=4 | set tabstop to 4 spaces |
:set history=100 | save history of last 100 commands |
:set scrolloff=10 | the cursor will be 10 line above the last line always |
:set ruler | show ruler |
:syntax on | syntax highlight |
:set showmode | show in which mode you are working |
:set autoindent | show indentation |
:set foldcolumn=4 | show foldslevel in a left column |
:set foldlevel=2 | folds code beyond level 2. Until 2 level it doesn’t fold |
:set foldmethod=indent | Folds based on indentation |
I love these settings and helps me a
lot.
