-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What you need is to have the following in your ~/.vimrc set ruler
Here is my .vimrc syntax on set ignorecase set nowrap set is set hls set noexpandtab set noai set ruler set noautoindent set backspace=2 colorscheme default set background=dark map ^T :w!<CR>:!aspell check %<CR>:e! %<CR> If you paste into a vim sessions a lot you will likely find autoindent annoying, but it can be handy in some cases. Also note that this config allows for spell checking from withing vim directly with ctrl+T (that is a capital "T", case does matter). I believe that all these options can be found and or explained on the vim.org site, which is a good site, suffering only from abundance.
