Much of your setup is purely personal taste, so I wouldn't feel comfortable to comment on it. I'd just suggest you get rid of some old vim cruft: :set complete-=i :set nrformats-=octal For consistency: :noremap Y y$ :noremap vv V Since you set 'shiftwidth' (4) different from 'tabstop' (8), you should also set 'smarttab'. I'd add j to 'formatoptions' for .c and .h files (or even for all types of file).
