.vindrc samples

You can configure it in .vimrc style. What you can do in .vindrc is switch options, set parameters, remap low-level keys, and define function bindings.

" ------------ Example ------------
" Virtual command line options
set shell = cmd
set cmd_fontsize = 14
set cmd_roughpos = LowerLeft
set cmd_maxchar = 100
" Enable block style caret
set blockstylecaret
set blockstylecaret_mode = solid
" Low-level key mapping in resident mode
rmap  
" Define bindings in GUI Normal mode
gnnoremap  select_left_window
gnnoremap  select_right_window
gnnoremap  select_upper_window
gnnoremap  select_lower_window
" Define bindings in insert mode
imap  
inoremap  to_edi_normal
imap  
inoremap  easy_click_left
imap  
inoremap  window_resizer

The Functions page lists all supported functions, the Options document lists parameters and useful extensions, and the Keyword List contains keyword notations for writing .vindrc. If you want to know the default bindings, refer to Default Mappings.
