description

Think of sensible.vim as one step above 'nocompatible' mode: a universal set of defaults that (hopefully) everyone can agree on. * If you're new to Vim, you can install this as a starting point, rather than copying some random vimrc you found. * If you're pair programming and you can't agree on whose vimrc to use, this can be your neutral territory. * If you're administrating a server with an account that's not exclusively yours, you can `scp` this up to make things a bit more tolerable. * If you're troubleshooting a plugin and need to rule out interference from your vimrc, having this installed will ensure you still have some basic amenities. ## Features See the source for the authoritative list of features.  (Don't worry, it's mostly :set calls.)  Here's a taste: * 'backspace': Backspace through anything in insert mode. * 'incsearch': Start searching before pressing enter. * 'listchars': Makes :set list (visible whitespace) prettier. * 'scrolloff': Always show at least one line above/below the cursor. * runtime! macros/matchit.vim: Load the version of matchit.vim that ships with Vim. https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible
