As pointed out in other comments, the vimrc isn't really the key part of this project. Of course, calling these "sensible defaults" is maybe a bit antagonistic, even if it wasn't meant that way, and draws too much attention to it. I will say that the "tab" line is a super useful feature. For anyone not using it, look into it! Hint: you don't have to use it for tabs at all. It's a great place to stick any persistent info that is global to the current Vim instance. And of course you can tweak it to conditionally display whatever you want. Much like this repo does, when I did a lot of pairing at my last job, I stuck the current file name up there because that is where my coworkers were used to looking.

> Of course, calling these "sensible defaults" is maybe a bit antagonistic, even if it wasn't meant that way, and draws too much attention to it. It's a bit of a joke, it's intended to make you laugh like when I say to go buy an OLED screen instead of commenting out a specific line :) But TBH it's only half a joke: I think not supporting selection with Shift and Control+Shift+Arrows may drive intermediate users away. > I will say that the "tab" line is a super useful feature Absolutely! Like you, I've also noticed the tabline (and the line numbers) helps when I'm showing files to other people. Even if everything else I consider sensible defaults (rainbows! emacs/readline like chording shortcuts everywhere! selection with the arrows, shift and control!) doesn't popular, I hope the tabline with X,Y coordinates and hex position will.

  "antagonistic" wasn't the exact right word... like, the same word but less strong, lol. > I think not supporting selection with Shift and Control+Shift+Arrows may drive intermediate users away. I actually don't have anything like this to move words around! I use `]e` and `[e` from tpope's unimpaired [0] for moving lines around (I use tons from that plugin). I may toy around with some word-moving mappings. I do agree with readline everywhere! I'm on mac and have it configured so readline works in all apps, lol. Again with the tpope plugins, vim-rsi is a great plugin and I very much agree with its premise: I love the stand vim bindings in command mode but when in some kind of "insert" mode, even outside of vim, I want readline!
