A simple .vimrc file
Usually the following content in ~/.vimrc file is enough to tame vim to match my editing requirements.
set nocompatible "We are running vim not old we no need to be constrained!
set bs=2 "backspace works.
set smartindent "indents programs
set tabstop=4 "tab stops 4 chars
set shiftwidth=4 "autoindent width
"Shortcut to auto indent entire file
nmap <F11> 1G=G
imap <F11> <ESC>1G=Ga
set incsearch
set ignorecase
set smartcase
"Informative status line
set statusline=%F%m%r%h%w\ [TYPE=%Y\ %{&ff}]\ [%l/%L\ (%p%%)]
"Have 3 lines of offset (or buffer) when scrolling
set scrolloff=3
