title: Editing .vimrc file

The file `.vimrc` in your home directory has instructions for [[vim]]
|
|
to load every time it runs. Customizations go there.
|
|
|
|
For instance, you might want to use [[Markdown]] to edit files that
|
|
end in `.md`. The system default for some reason is to treat these as
|
|
[[Modula-2]] files, though we don't have a Modula-2 compiler running
|
|
(yet). So the contents of `.vimrc` should read
|
|
|
|
``
|
|
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.md set filetype=markdown
|
|
``
|
|
|
|
For more suggestions in deep depth on how to set up your `.vimrc` please read
