for the lazy, is there any way to automatically append vim
options to the ~/.vimrc file?
I presume that there are select options that you want to
preserve. You could do something like this *untested* scriptlet
(be sure to back up your vimrc beforehand...perhaps your whole
computer...I take no responsibility if it crashes, burns, kicks
your dog, eats your dinner, wrecks your car, elopes with your
daughter, or steals your spouse)
:redir @a
:sil! set ts? sw? et?
:redir END
:let @a=substitute(@a, '\n', ' ', 'g')
:new
:put='set '[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:w! >> $HOME/.vimrc
:q!
The 2nd line allows you to specify which options interest you.
You may not care to save most options.
It then carte-blanche dumps the options at the end of your vimrc.
Whether this is what you want, YMMV.
It doesn't try to scan through your vimrc for pre-existing
settings as such, and change them...thus you'll end up with
accruing cruft in your vimrc every time you use it.
It should be fairly wrappable in a script/function/mapping to
allow you to reuse it as needed.
Just an idea... :)
