1. You could easily, in your .vimrc, which could be shared across systems implement exactly what you ask with very simple vimscript which has already been posted in response to your rants. 2. By default, Vim does not look for .vim and stop, because that's not how the runtimepath is supposed to work. BY DESIGN, THE ENTIRE RUNTIMEPATH IS SEARCHED. Yes, some C code would be added to default the runtimepath differently depending on whether a .vimrc or _vimrc is found. But this is trivial to implement in vimscript so I doubt very much it will happen. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
