minivimrc

This minivimrc started its life as a very small vimrc I put together while working on a friend's dedicated server. Since then, it slowly became a sophisticated but compact vimrc that—with only a bit under 100 LOC—provides me many useful and opinionated improvements to Vim's defaults without depending on any third-party or perverting my favorite editor's philosophy and design.

One could think of it as a demonstration of what can be achieved with only a tiny bit of configuration.

Don't use it if you don't understand what's in there!
