Hello,
I'm not the swiftest (hack) around with finessing the (bash) shell and customizations for c/c++ (command line) programming. What I'm doing is trying to setup .vimrc so that when I edit a file (*.c or *.cpp) my shell uses the entries in the (user's) .vimrc file. However any other file I access via 'vi' I want it to ignore these customizations or use a second config file for 'vim' customizations. Ideas on how to accomplish this are welcome. I've stumbled across ideas on how to make .vimrc really cool for writing c/c++ programs. I have not found a comprehensive reference on all of the possibilities and what works. A wiki would be very cool. I've been testing a custom setup for .vimrc: set ai " autoindent set si " smartindent set cindent " do c-style indenting set tabstop=3 " tab spacing settings below are just to unify it set softtabstop=3 " unify set shiftwidth=3 " unify set noexpandtab " real tabs please! set nowrap " do not wrap lines set smarttab " use tabs at the start of a line, spaces elsewhere Additionally, I'm experimenting with QT4 so any suggestions related to QT4 are also appreciated. Any comments, ideas or resources I can look at, would be most appreciated. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
