A reference document of battle-tested best practices for writing your own Vim configuration file (~/.vimrc). It is explicitly not a template or distribution to copy, but a guide covering options, mappings, autocommands, plugins, and more.
Use cases
- learn how to write a clean vimrc
- best practices for vim configuration
- understand vim options and mappings
- structure my vim config files
- avoid bad habits in my vimrc
- guide for customizing vim settings
When to choose
- you want to learn idiomatic Vim configuration from scratch
- you want a reference to validate your existing vimrc

When to avoid
- you want a ready-to-use vimrc or dotfiles template
- you want an opinionated Vim distribution with preconfigured defaults
