sensible.vim

vim-sensible is a curated set of defaults that makes Vim behave more like developers expect in modern editing without heavy configuration. It flips on widely appreciated options to improve search, indentation, buffers, and UI cues so a fresh Vim becomes productive immediately. The philosophy is conservative: only enable settings that are broadly beneficial and unlikely to surprise seasoned users. It reduces the friction of onboarding to Vim by removing early paper cuts, letting you add personal preferences later from a sane baseline. The project acts as a living distillation of community wisdom about defaults that stand the test of time. By shipping just sensible toggles, it remains unobtrusive and easy to adopt in any dotfiles setup.
