Sample .exrc File
The following lines of code are an example of a customized .exrc file:
set nowrapscan " Searches don't wrap at end of file set wrapmargin=7 " Wrap text at 7 columns from right margin set sections=SeAhBhChDh nomesg " Set troff macros, disallow message map q :w^M:n^M " Alias to move to next file map v dwElp " Move a word ab ORA O'Reilly Media, Inc. " Input shortcut
Tip
The q alias isn’t needed for vim, which has the :wn command. The v alias would hide the vim command v, which enters character-at-a-time visual-mode operation.
