I have a problem when i am in visual mode and i have text highlighted. Instead of being able to run a command, it just overwrites my selected text instead. im sure its because of something in my vimrc but i just cant pinpoint it, can anyone help?
P.S.: If anyone sees some errors in my vimrc or maybe how something can be done more efficiently please let me know. filetype on " detect the type of file filetype plugin indent on " enable filetype plugin set nocompatible " use VIM defaults (much better!) set magic " change special characters used in search patterns set history=1000 " How many lines of history to remember set clipboard+=unnamed " turns out I do like is sharing windows clipboard set viminfo+=!
