You probably have a .vimrc on Cygwin, and the same or /etc/vimrc on Linux. The real question: Why vim on Cygwin doesn't install, or use if you add one, /etc/vimrc? On Linux I have one with the following contents (which fixes the thread problem): " Begin /etc/vimrc set nocompatible set backspace=2 syntax on set background=dark if (&term == "iterm") || (&term == "putty") set background=dark endif " End /etc/vimrc The 5th line doesn't work with the version installed on Cygwin, so you have to comment it; but it would be nice to also have syntax highlighting. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
