The best vimrc in the Universe.

What is BSDDOG vimrc

First, it was OpenBSD only. But I wanted a single config file. I had
different .vimrc and .exrc files for different OSes. It wasn't okay!
Thus I've mixed them up in one single file. As a result, some of the
configurations may not be your cup of tee(1). So, fill free to ditch
them out! There are two versions of each files (both vimrc and exrc)
with and without comment. I prefer the latter, and to RTFM and STFW.

OpenBSD vimrc And More

Both .vimrc and .exrc config files work on OpenBSD, Windows & Linux. They work on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac and ATARI 2600 too. You bet! This vimrc works for vim and gvim, and exrc for vi and nvi.

Features:

vimrc OpenBSD:

  • Indentation is an 8 character tab.

Language swtich (LTR and RTL):

  • LTR <-> LTR, e.g. English, Russian, etc.
  • RTL <-> LTR, e.g. Persian, etc.

Shortkeys/functions for:

  • [F1] Save.
  • [F2] Disabling automatic indentation for external pasting.
  • [F3] LTR language swtich.
  • [F4] RTL language swtich.
  • [F5] Reset to default, after [F6] (OpenBSD), and [F6]/[F7] (FDP).
  • [F6] OpenBSD style(9).
  • [F7] FreeBSD FDP: replace spaces with tabs.
  • [F8] FreeBSD FDP: rewrap paragraphs.

Miscellaneous

  • A beautiful Status Bar.
  • CLI and GUI compatible.
  • Windows compatible (gvim).
  • Custom directories for backup, temporary and runtimes files.
  • Incremental search (rounded & highlighted) and the cindent.
  • Disable beep, visual bell and special characters, e.g. ^I.
  • Syntax highlighting and highlight matching.
  • Ruler, line number and padding.
  • Backspace and @@@ settings.
  • Clipboard, history and undo.
  • wildmenu and encoding.
  • Solves MS Windows (Cygwin, Msys2, WSL) auto-INSERT problem in start-up.
  • etc.

Functions and Function Keys

  • You can change default Function keys, via nnoremap & inoremap.
  • If you don't need a Function or Functions, just delete them.

OpenBSD, Linux, FreeBSD, and the rest

Rename the vimrc and/or exrc files and the vim folder to .vimrc, .exrc and .vim.

Custom Directories

I prefer to use:

  • ~/.vim/tmp for backup.
  • ~/.vim/swp for swap.
  • ~/.vim/add for plugins.

But you can change them, or use the vim defaults.

A vimrc for Windows

  • Rename the .vimrc to _vimrc and put in the %USERPROFILE% directory.
  • Create the .vim directory and its sub-directories in the %USERPROFILE% directory.
