MacVim / Windows gVim

Requirements

Mac

• MacVim - I'm currently using snapshot 65 on Mountain Lion.

Windows

• gVim - I'm using Wu Yongwei's pre-compiled gVim 7.3.333 because it has Ruby support and the latest patches.

Bindings

• Escape is not bound to Escape, instead, typing jk in insert mode escapes into normal mode. See this section of bindings.vim for more details.
• Pressing enter in normal mode saves the current buffer.

Notes

Be sure to always edit the vimrc using ,v, which opens the vimrc in the .vim folder. Vim has a nasty habit of overriding symlinks.
