We’ll be learning about what the vimrc is later in the semester. If you’re not sure what it is yet, just hang tight!
Add the following to your vimrc to get incremental search highlighting:
set incsearch
Add the following to your vimrc to have tabs expand to 2 spaces:
" Tab settings
set expandtab " Expand tabs into spaces
set tabstop=2 " default to 2 spaces for a hard tab
set softtabstop=2 " default to 2 spaces for the soft tab
set shiftwidth=2 " for when <TAB> is pressed at the beginning of a line
For navigating around with splits, it’s somewhat tedious to input ^W [hjkl].
To instead use ^H, ^J, ^K, and ^L, you can add these lines to your
vimrc:
" Make navigation with splits easier
nnoremap <silent> <C-h> <C-w>h
nnoremap <silent> <C-j> <C-w>j
nnoremap <silent> <C-k> <C-w>k
nnoremap <silent> <C-l> <C-w>l
