Add some general settings
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
These are just some bare-bones settings to get us started. We're going
to be using Vim to configure Vim, which is a bit hard without these
settings.

There are plenty of settings that I excluded here, but mostly because I
just don't have the time. I have a whole section in my dotfiles repo
that I'd recommend you look into if you're looking for general-purpose
Vim settings:

Be sure to look into other settings after you've got the plugins set up!

Will these additions to the vimrc file be reflected immediately if i for example create a HelloWorld.js file and start editing it in vim ?

You'll have to save your vimrc, then reopen Vim before they'll take effect.

I think you can also type type :so% in normal mode to "source" the file - meaning execute the commands in the file. That way you don't need to save, close and reopen the .vimrc.
