Configuring the Vim integration
Connection at start-up
Check if the initialization file with the name
.vimrc
exists in your home directory (
~/
.vimrc
), if not create it.
Insert the following line in the
.vimrc
file:
sniff connect
Vim connects to SNiFF+ immediately at start-up and will execute the commands
contained in the
.vimrc
file at start-up.
Key mappings
- The key mappings are defined in the
sniff.vim
file. This file is sourced each time you
connect to SNiFF+. You can change these mappings to suit your needs. By default Vim
looks for this file in the
$SNIFF_DIR/config
directory. However it is possible to
define another search path. Insert the following into the
.vimrc
file before the line that
contains
sniff connect
:
let sniff_mappings = '<where-your-sniff-mappings-are>'
Merging from vi to Vim
.exrc
file (for use with your standard vi editor) that you would like to use
with Vim, add the following command to the
.vimrc
file
source ~/.exrc
If you want Vim to have the same 'look and feel' as vi, enter the following command:
:set compatible
