That been said, I think my configuration has become pretty neat. See for yourself

I only use Vim in the terminal, but most of the configuration also works in gVim (you may have to modify some of the bindings for the special characters like <C-Space>).

Although the .vimrc is long, I have tried to avoid making the configuration too heavy, so you will only find mappings that I actually use. Usually, I discover a work pattern that I want to speed up, and create a binding. Then I try it some time to see if I will get used to it; if not, I remove again. That’s the methodology

Major features

• Usable with both the Colemak and Qwerty layout
• Readable colorscheme
• Makes heavy use of alt/meta bindings (as alt is easier to hit than control)
• Efficient tabbed navigation
• Custom status line
• Quick access to often used Ex commands
• Many navigation improving bindings (examples: next occurence of visual selection, tag jump in new tab reusing existing tabs, search outline ({{{), open visual selection in split window)
• Plugins are configured to be pervasive (they will not get in your way; at least not my way )

As of writing, I use these external plugins, which you may download from vim.org.

• AlignPlugin
• NERD_commenter
• a (alternate)
• imaps
• matchit
• project
• rhs (not yet published)
• securemodelines
• surround
• taglist
• timestamp
• vcssvn

Of “major” filetype plugins, I use haskellmode and latexsuite.
