When my Kubuntu was up and running, I noticed that vim is not turning
on syntax highlighting and not remembering my last cursor position when
I last opened the file - the cursor always positions at the top of the
file everytime I open it. Time to hack that vimrc file! (/etc/vim/vimrc).
" turn on syntax highlighting
syntax on
' turn on pattern highlighting during search
set hlsearch
" Make VIM move the cursor automatically to the last position when we last opened the file.
if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\'") > 0 && line("'\'") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
endif
