When normal mode is performed, these settings commands modify only the settings of the current session, and exit or restart Vi/vim These settings are lost. To hold these settings, you must write these settings to the Vi/vim VIMRC file. For the Linux/unix operating system, each user's VIMRC file is located in the user's home directory, and the file name is. vimrc. Vi/vim reads the VIMRC file in the user's home directory each time it is started and sets the Vi/vim usage environment accordingly. Vi/vim installation also installs an example of VIMRC files Vimrc_example.vim to the/usr/share/vim/vim<version> directory. You can copy this sample file to the home directory of the current user as needed and rename it to. VIMRC, which makes it relatively easy to make changes on this basis. Other related settings about Vi/vim and key mapping are basically written to the user's VIMRC file, please refer to the Vi/vim Manual for more detailed introduction. Users can also maintain a VIMRC file of their own, and copy the file to their own use of the environment, to maintain the vi/vim characteristics in different environments consistent with their use of the habit.
