How to customize vim editor using someone else's customization?

  • 772

I downloaded a file that would help me customize my vim editor here in the section on "Customizing Vim". I now have the file in /home/double_toned as vimrc. Now when I type vim in the command line, I do not get any output of customization. Why is this? What else do I need to do?

Also, how can I open a random txt file on vim editor using the above customization in vim?

Output of vim --version

  1. open vim editor by typing vim in the terminal Once in vim, type :so <name of file with customization> In my case, the file was named vimrc so, my input was :so vimrc and you get all the customization in the vim file you are in.
