First a large pile of files are sourced under: finished sourcing /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newmetadata.vim Then I see this: finished sourcing /usr/share/vim/vim70/plugin/zipPlugin.vim Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/plugin/**/*.vim" Searching for "/home/reader/.vim/after/plugin/**/*.vim" Reading viminfo file "/home/reader/.viminfo" info Then another several pages of gibberish Beginning with: Press ENTER or type command to continueExecuting BufEnter Auto commands for "*" autocommand silent! call s:LocalBrowse(expand("<amatch>")) line 0: silent! call s:LocalBrowse(expand("<amatch>")) Press ENTER or type command to continueExecuting CursorMoved Auto commands for "*" Press ENTER or type command to continue autocommand call s:Highlight_Matching_Pair() Press ENTER or type command to continue line 0: call s:Highlight_Matching_Pair() calling function <SNR>17_Highlight_Matching_Pair() line 1: " Remove any previous match. line 2: if exists('w:paren_hl_on') && w:paren_hl_on line 3: 3match none line 4: let w:paren_hl_on = 0 line 5: endif line 6: More lines like those and then vim opens. just before vim opens: finished sourcing /usr/share/vim/vim70/plugin/zipPlugin.vim Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/plugin/**/*.vim" Searching for "/home/reader/.vim/after/plugin/**/*.vim" Reading viminfo file "/home/reader/.viminfo" info Press ENTER or type command to continue What on earth is that all about. It doesn't appear to ever look for ~/.vimrc.
