Gack yeah I missed the single quotes. But it still doesn't help. The alias doesn't error but after . .bashrc (Where I put the alias) Then vim .bashrc and still I get the purple mode line and my settings are not loaded until I manual `:so ~/.vimrc'. This seems too silly really. It has to be something in what is getting sourced that is overpowering my .vimrc eh? Put one poster showed how to start vim with no sourcing of all that guff. vim --noplugins .bashrc Still get the purple modeline and not my settings. And just for the record: alias |grep vim alias vim='vim -c '\''source ~/.vimrc'\''' And inside vim :echo $MYVIMRC /home/reader/.vimrc ============= What the heck...
