[gentoo-user] OT: .vimrc

[gentoo-user] OT: .vimrc

[James]

Hello,


I'm not the swiftest (hack) around with finessing the (bash) shell
and customizations for c/c++  (command line) programming. What I'm 
doing is trying to setup .vimrc so that when I edit a file 
(*.c or *.cpp) my shell uses the entries in the (user's) .vimrc file. 
However any other file I access via 'vi' I want it to ignore these
customizations or use a second config file for 'vim' customizations. 
Ideas on how to accomplish this are  welcome.


I've stumbled across ideas on how to make .vimrc really cool for writing
c/c++ programs. I have not found a comprehensive reference on all of the
possibilities and what works. A wiki would be very cool. I've been 
testing a custom setup for .vimrc:

  set ai                " autoindent
  set si                " smartindent
  set cindent           " do c-style indenting
  set tabstop=3         " tab spacing settings below are just to unify it
  set softtabstop=3     " unify
  set shiftwidth=3      " unify
  set noexpandtab       " real tabs please!
  set nowrap            " do not wrap lines
  set smarttab          " use tabs at the start of a line, spaces elsewhere


Additionally, I'm experimenting with QT4 so any suggestions
related to QT4 are also appreciated. Any comments, ideas or resources 
I can look at, would be  most appreciated.


James

hmm, have you tried something like:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.cpp set ai(or whatever options you want?)

that's how I did some stuff wrt to python...

Here's my .vimrc file:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.c set {ai, si, cindent, tabstop=3, softtabstop=3}


I get this error when I source the .vimrc file:

source /home/james/.vimrc
bash: autocmd: command not found


Any suggestions?


James

Indeed sourcing will error out..

Just launch vim again and it should be using those new settings...
