Getting rid of gvim’s Windows-ish behaviour
June 10th, 2008
I always forget how to fix this, so here it is for my future reference: if it annoys you when you freshly install gvim on Windows and it does Windows stuff like ctrl-v as paste or not allowing you to visually select by pressing “v” and tapping the arrow keys, you need to find your system wide .vimrc file (<VIM_INSTALL_DIR\_vimrc by default) and remove lines like “”source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim” and
“behave mswin”.
The gvim config file comment character is a double quote, remember!
For some reason I am missing the “Edit with Vim” menu, perhaps these are some fixes.
