I have only one .vimrc that is use for windows, Linux and Solaris. Actually, - under windows I have a _vimrc files that sources vimrc_core.vim plus a _vimrc_win for windows specific settings (fonts, mappings to open URL in the default browser, ...) - under *nix, I have a .vimrc that also sources vimrc_core.vim plus a _vimrc_nix for *nix specific settings (key rebindings (that will be updated soon thanks to feddback from vim-ml), ...) I've never used cygwin-version of vim, but it should not be any different. -- Luc Hermitte http://hermitte.free.fr/cygwin/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
