Customizing the Vim editor

There is no end of things you can do. You can make a career of this, write your own plugins, learn vimscript, and so on. It is plenty of work just to install existing plugins and learn how to manage them.

The .vimrc file

There are two places to pay attention. One is the .vim directory. The other is the .vimrc file, which lives in your home directory not in the .vim directory where all of the other vim stuff lives.

Many .vimrc files are available online for study. Many of these are excessively complex.
