Thank you, Robin, it helped, but it's user-specific, I'd like to find system-wide solution that would apply to all users.
I already tried creating, editing, and adding into `/etc/exrc` and `/etc/vi.exrc` as suggested in other forums but with no success.
No, you don't. You have no right to decide how other people on your system want to use vi. You should just use $HOME/.exrc to set the defaults you want when you use vi and ex (and view, rview, etc.) and not assume that you know how I want those utilities to behave when I log in to your system.
This User Gave Thanks to Don Cragun For This Post:
I suppose if you want to have a standard, you could soft link $HOME/.exrc to a central file (e.g. /etc/exrc), making the central file read-only. To alter the settings, a user would need to:-
That would then copy, but cut them adrift from your standard settings and they could then change them as to their need.
Personally I think it's a terrible idea, but that is a way you could make it work.
