G902 - Appendix 02 ~ Vim .vimrc configuration

A very practical .vimrc configuration for VIM is the following.

" Configuration for tabs, always 4 spaces (like in the Python standard)
filetype plugin indent on
" show existing tab with 4 spaces width
set tabstop=4
" when indenting with '>', use 4 spaces width
set shiftwidth=4
" On pressing tab, insert 4 spaces
set expandtab

" Show line numbers
set nu

Just create a .vimrc file, with the lines above, in any user's $HOME folder.
