Vi has been my favorite editor for over 30 years. Mostly with
Unix but now with windows XP. It works fine but I want to
change the tab to 4 spaces instead of 8. I read on the internet
that I can edit the .vimrc file but I only have an _vimrc file
and windows has a problem with files that start with a ".".
I do have a vimrc_example.vim and gvimrc_example.vim files.
I entered this line in the _vimrc file ":set nu" but line
numbering didn't happen. I even re-booted. Maybe I have
something set up wrong and Gvim never looks at this file.
Any more suggestions?
I normally just use vim. But I also have gvim installed. When I start it, with the "set nu" line in _vimrc, it displays the line numbers. So gvim works fine here, reads _vimrc file.
Make sure just enter "set nu" (NO COLON) in the _vimrc file. The colon is just if entered manually from within vim. I was not clear about that.
I have the path to the vim directory in my PATH variable. Not sure if that needed to find _vimrc file.
Finally, you can edit the gvim icon and add "-u path_to_vimrc" segment after command name, and that might fix problem.
Reality-Check vim by entering :set nu and verify it shows line numbers.
Make sure _vimrc has the single line:
Start gvim. If the display does NOT show the line numbers, then your _vimrc is not being read (unless something I'm missing).
What happens when you edit the gvim icon to add path to _vimrc file with -u option?
What happens when you run vim from command window?
BTW, it seems (by my testing) that vim on DOS will also use _exrc if _vimrc is not present. This probably does not solve the current problem, just something to be aware of in case it comes up.
Any odd chance some permissions problem with _vimrc file? I know, unlikely.
