[Mingw-msys] (Fwd) Re: tweaks to MSYS config

[Paul G. <pga...@at...>]

Not really my call.

Seemed appropriate to forward it to Msys mailing list.

------- Forwarded message follows -------
A package of basic wishlist items:



##  In /etc/profile, add these lines near the bottom:

export VIM=/etc
export ENV=.bashrc
echo 'Edit /etc/fstab, ~/.bashrc and ~/.vimrc to set user configs.'
echo -n 'Make says: ' ; make --version | grep 'Built for'



##  In /etc/fstab, add these lines (assuming a Win/XP environment):

c:/PROGRA~1             /progra~1
c:/DOCUME~1             /docume~1
c:/DOCUME~1/yourname/DESKTOP  /desktop
c:/wherever             /home/yourname/proj



##  Save this script as /etc/vimrc:

   " VIM expects /etc/profile to contain '  export VIM=/etc  '.
   " Create a ~/.vimrc for your personal settings.

set nocompatible
set whichwrap=b,s,h,l,<,>,[,],~
set backspace=eol,start,indent
set smartindent

   " Modern keyboard mappings for the msys/rxvt terminal:

map <BS> X
map <Esc>[8~ $
map <Esc>[7~ 0
map . zz<C-G>
   " That fixes Backspace, Home and End; '.' now centers the screen.
map <Space> i<Space> map <C-M> o
   " <Space> enters insert mode; <Enter> inserts on a new line.



##  You can put shortcuts like these in your ~/.bashrc:

alias ed='vim'
alias home='cd ~'
alias l='ls -F --color=auto'
alias ll='ls -toFA --color=auto'
