As one of those users using "vi" for the past 30 years, I have some
questions pertaining mainly to Vim 7.2.
I don't like changes in "default" behavior of certain programs. Vim7.2
is one. How can I turn off "autoindent". In my .vimrc file, I have
"set noautoindent" and issued in comand mode ":set notutoindent" but it
still autoindents. If I insert a new line below a .vimrc comment line,
not oinly is the line autoindent'd but it also places another comment
(") character. I don't like editors that second guess you and they be
incorrect.
Another new feature I don't care for: It highlights pairs of special
characters. Like "(......)", if your cursor is on the opening "(", the
closing ")" character is higligthed with green square which makes the
character unreadable with my vision problems. I would like to be able
to change the color to something different or disable than option.
Another option I would like to disable, the "u"ndo command. I'm a 30
year veteran of the real "vi" command and ANY MORE than a single "u" is
ignored.in deleting characters. I frequently use two (uu) commands to
find my place on the screen. Now the "u" command will undo multiple
edits and not just undo the undo command.
I'm sorry if I missed any answers in my documentation.
Call me picky,
-Paul
