Satisfactory answer

Of course it is wrong. The vimrc file is executed by vim. You can execute the source command in bash, and shell runs vimrc as a shell script. Vim/usr/share/vim/vim71/vimrc_example.vim and enter so % in vim.

Question

Thank you for your help. I also want to ask, how can I make vimrc effective for every time vim is opened? I found that after setting it like that, it only works for the current vim window? Sorry, it is inevitable that new users will be naive.

Answer

Vim is loaded every time it starts ~ /. Vimrc file, as long as the initial settings are written in this file, it will be automatically loaded. Run the following command cat/usr/share/vim/vim71/vimrc_example.vim> ~ /. Vimrc.
