/etc/vimrc is a filepathname used by several distros for the "system vimrc" (the default is $VIM/vimrc with no leading period). That script is sourced long before Vim even looks for your own .vimrc, and therefore long before it even knows whether or not you have one — and whether or not defaults.vim should be sourced. I would expect defaults.vim to be sourced instead of your own vimrc (usually ~/.vimrc), and at the same point of startup. To get the same settings on all machines, compile Vim yourself, and leave the installdir at its default (/usr/local/ and its subdirectories) so that /etc/vimrc will be bypassed (the systyem vimrc being then /usr/local/share/vim/vimrc which can be left nonexistent). Then your own ~/.vimrc will be the first script sourced (#1 in the output of .scriptnames). Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
