The interesting stuff only:

    set showbreak=>\ 
    set wildignore=*.bak,*.pyc,*.swp
    set wildmenu
    set wildmode=list:longest
This is actually quicker than reaching for ESC most of the time:

    inoremap  
    vnoremap
Tab switching:

    noremap  gt
    noremap  gT
Something useful for syntax file writing:

    noremap  :echo synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 1), "name")

Indeed! I can't do it any more, just filled me with so much hate... It's like people use the spacebar just to think. /rant ;)

And to answer the poster, I tend to just use the default vim. I'm bouncing around machines so much that I don't bother setting anything up on my main one that I'll miss on the others...

My cure for that is putting my .vimrc on my site; then, from a foreign machine, I just do:

wget -O ~/.vimrc http://lucasoman.com/vimrc

And just like that, I'm in my comfort zone. Of course, this doesn't cover plugins and such, but I don't use those very often.

Here are just a couple things I find really useful day to day. I used to have a timeout that would revert to normal mode from insert mode after about 30 seconds if idle, but I got tired of that after about six months and just got in the habit of hitting Escape when I finished with an insert action. I did it just now, even though this is a textarea.

  " For (ab)use with :sp
  map  j_
  map  k_
  set wmh=0 so=999 winheight=999

  nnoremap i :nohi

  " \s is global-replace-this-word
  :nnoremap s :%s/\\>//g

perhaps of interest: " for vertical split, with the pipe dividers hidden :hi clear vertsplit :hi vertsplit ctermbg=Black ctermfg=Black " quit quits all :nmap :q :qa :nmap :wq :wqa " H/L go to beginning/end of line without moving fingers :nmap H 0 :nmap L $ " turn off matching paren highlighting let loaded_matchparen = 1

Why don't you use paren matching?
