My settings for VIM

Usage

If you find yourself wanting to use these settings, do the following:

./colors -> ~/.vim/colors
./ftplugin -> ~/.vim/ftplugin
./.vimrc -> ~/.vimrc

Also create two files ~/.vimplugin and ~/.vimlocal. The first one contains commands for your plugin manager. The idea is that you might need a different set of plugins on different machines. Some plugins require paths to programs, which can differ from machine to machine too.
In .vimlocal you should should put settings that are local to the machine.
You might use plugin_template.vim and locals_template.vim for reference.
Alternatively, if you are on UNIX and haven't configured VIM yet, you could just run setup.sh, which will do everything for you.
