My vimrc and a collection of plugins.
It is cool stuff.
Copy .vimrc and .vim/ to your home directory. Bam.
It is possible that vim may look at something besides .vimrc and vim/ for settings and plugins. If you restart vim and it isn't super-awesome, it's looking somewhere else. A few Google searches should tell you how to fix this.
- Engage - try things out - fork this project on Github and commit your changes!
- Look through the vimrc - most features are documented (if they aren't, play around, add comments and do a pull request to share your awesomeness with the world).
- Understand window management in vim: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/windows.html
- Buffer Explorer: open multiple files. This maps TAB to shift one buffer left; SEMICOLON to shift right. Try opening 5 or 6 files and then use tab/semicolon to navigate.
- Taglist and easytags:
- Make sure to install exuberant ctags on your system: http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/faq.html
- Read about how vim handles tags: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/tagsrch.html#tag-commands

- LaTeX: turns on word wrap and maps j and k to gj and gk (navigates visual lines instead of hard breaks)
- Assembly: highlights (in red) everything after the 80th character on a line
