Nice ...

MUST HAVES for me ... :-)

Pathogen ... it's just an awesome way to manage vim plugins ...
NERDTree ... Great way to explore directories ...

My minimal .vimrc ...

call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()
call pathogen#helptags()
filetype plugin indent on
autocmd vimenter * NERDTree
autocmd vimenter * wincmd l
autocmd WinEnter * call s:IfNoBuffers()
function! s:IfNoBuffers()
  if exists("t:NERDTreeBufName")
    if bufwinnr(t:NERDTreeBufName) != -1
      if winnr("$") == 1
        q
      endif
    endif
  endif
endfunction
nmap  :NERDTreeToggle
:colorscheme elflord
:set mouse=a
:set number
:set guifont=Monospace 12
:syntax enable
:set guicursor=a:ver25-Cursor/lCursor
:set showcmd
:set ruler
:set hlsearch
:set incsearch

I think that's due to your terminal size is too small for the auto-height options... You can always type this from within vim to find out:

: helpg E36

Just save this file as ~/.vimrc and you are good to go. Don't forget the colorscheme. Let me know how it works, I haven't used extensively on FreeBSD.

Hi!

Just installed VIM from FreeBSD ports.
I would appreciate your help by either pointing me in the right direction or simply tell me how
to apply your ".vmrc" file to it ?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much.

Best salutations !

Gaetan

Hey! Really awesome post this. However I keep getting this error:

Error detected while processing /home//.vimrc: line 270: E36: Not enough room

Why is this happening? I want to make my vim look as awesome as the screenshot in your post! I use it for programming in python.
