" This setting will cause the cursor to very briefly jump to a

" brace/parenthese/bracket. I've had almost no mismatched-punctuation errors

set guioptions-=T

" This setting prevents vi from making its annoying beeps when a command

" doesn't work. Instead, it briefly flashes the screen -- much less annoying.

" This setting ensures that each window contains a statusline that displays

" the current cursor position.

set ruler

" By default, search matches are highlighted. I find this annoying most of the

" time. This option turns off search highlighting. You can always turn it back

" on with :set hls.

set nohls

" With this nifty option, vim will search for text as you enter it. For

" instance, if you type /bob to search for bob, vi will go to the first "b"

" after you type the "b," to the first "bo" after you type the "o," and so on.

" It makes searching much faster, since if you pay attention you never have to

" enter more than the minimum number of characters to find your target

" location. Make sure that you press Enter to accept the match after vim finds

" the location you want.

set incsearch

" By default, vim doesn't let the cursor stray beyond the defined text. This

" setting allows the cursor to freely roam anywhere it likes in command mode.

" It feels weird at first but is quite useful.
