Vim default turn on line number, syntax display and other settings

When using vim for editing under the terminal, by default, the editing interface is not displaying line numbers, syntax highlighting, smart indenting, and so on. In order to better work under Vim, a configuration file needs to be set manually:. vimrc.

When Vim is started, the. vimrc file under the current user's root directory is automatically read, and the file can contain settings and even scripts, so it is generally convenient to create a. vimrc file under the current user's root directory, which is created as:

$vi ~/.VIMRC

When you're finished setting

$:x or $wq

Save to exit.

An example is given below, which lists the settings that are used frequently, and the detailed setup information in the reference material:
