101 <para>By default, <command>vim</command> runs in vi-incompatible mode.
102 This may be new to users who have used other editors in the past. The
103 <quote>nocompatible</quote> setting is included below to highlight the
104 fact that a new behavior is being used. It also reminds those who would
105 change to <quote>compatible</quote> mode that it should be the first
106 setting in the configuration file. This is necessary because it changes
107 other settings, and overrides must come after this setting. Create a
108 default <command>vim</command> configuration file by running the
109 following:</para>
110
111<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/vimrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
112<literal>" Begin /etc/vimrc
113
114set nocompatible
115set backspace=2
116set ruler
117syntax on
118if (&amp;term == "iterm") || (&amp;term == "putty")
119 set background=dark
120endif
121
122" End /etc/vimrc</literal>
123EOF</userinput></screen>
124
125
126 <para>The <parameter>set nocompatible</parameter> makes
127 <command>vim</command> behave in a more useful way (the default) than
128 the vi-compatible manner. Remove the <quote>no</quote> to keep the
129 old <command>vi</command> behavior. The <parameter>set
130 backspace=2</parameter> allows backspacing over line breaks,
131 autoindents, and the start of insert. The <parameter>syntax
132 on</parameter> enables vim's syntax highlighting. Finally, the
133 <emphasis>if</emphasis> statement with the <parameter>set
134 background=dark</parameter> corrects <command>vim</command>'s guess
135 about the background color of some terminal emulators. This gives the
136 highlighting a better color scheme for use on the black background of
137 these programs.</para>
