+
+Typical .vimrc
+------------------
+Here's what a typical ``.vimrc`` looks like for me::
+
+ if has('syntax') && (&t_Co > 2)
+ syntax on
+ endif
+
+ set history=50
+ set wildmode=list:longest,full
+ set showmode
+ set showcmd
+ set smartcase
+ set shiftwidth=4
+ set tabstop=4
+ set shiftround
+ set expandtab
+ set autoindent
+
+ autocmd BufRead *.py set smartindent cinwords=if,elif,else,for,while,try,except, finally,def,class
+
+Commands
+-------------
+I search and replace globally a lot::
+
+ :%s/before/after/g
+
+Tricks
+-------------
+I often want to pull a particular gnarly line or two from another file; here's
+the command I use to grab three lines of context around 'phrase'::
+
+ :r!grep -A 3 'phrase' ../otherfile.txt
