Description

We could provide a default system configuration for Vim offering an editor with reasonnable assumptions about what the regular user wants:

some syntaxic highlighting
arrows, home, end, enter, backspace working like an usual editor

If these assumptions are rejected by vim users, we should also provide a command to generate a ~/.vimrc according some templates.

We've a first draft, with the following points still to check:

Navigation

CTRL + left/right behavior to check

Spell checker

Disable by default spellchecker
See how we can enable the spellchecker (README .txt files?), and if a decision could be taken from the environment to guess language.
Document how to add a word in custom dictionnary

Documentation

Document how autocompletion work

Lines numbers are cool, ugly yellow aren't
Start with a blank screen instead of the welcome VIM - Vi IMproved screen

Autocomplete’s man has to be created. Otherwise, all is ready.

Difficulties I noticed with vim: tried to copy/paste (mouse middle button) the script found at
https://gist.github.com/eculver/1420227
after pressing the "a" key ("append") to switch to edit mode. Console froze for a dozen seconds and issued garbage. I managed to close vim and return to a working prompt.
