This is still a problem in RHL 9. There are numerous configuration changes made in /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc that will override the user's .vimrc. Further, there is no *** EASY *** way for users to work around the system vimrc. It would take a considerable amount of time reading vim's on-line help (in it's esoteric and difficult-to-use help browser) to figure out how to use the "autocmd" commands effectively enough to, for instance, disable the setting of the "textwidth" variable when a plain text file is opened. DO NOT PRESUME TO KNOW HOW THE USER WANTS THEIR FILES FORMATTED!!! |
