"REMAP CAPS LOCK AS AN ADDITIONAL ESC
"Holy hell this took way too f-ing long (~2 hours) I was unable to figure out how to do this from
"the .profile file, the .bashrc file, the .vimrc file, or by using xcape. All of which were
"suggested by internet forums. All of these solutions are less than perfect because caps lock
"key, like the control and shift keys, are 'modifier' keys meaning that the press and release
"of the keys mean different things. Anyway, all of the aforementioned methods of solving this
"issue didn't work and ended up causing very bizarre behavior.
"Anyway....
"For Ubuntu 14.04, where the keyboard setting location is different than previous versions, you
"must install the gnome tweak tool with:
"
"sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
"
"Then open the tool, go the 'Typing' tab, and change the 'Caps lock key behavior' to
"'Make Caps Lock and additional ESC'


"insert line numbers at the left-hand side
set number

"Remap a basic save to just ctrl-s in either normal or insert mode. Note: Add these lines to
".bashrc to disable the ctrl-s functionality already associated with the terminal:
"
"" bind -r '\C-s'
" stty -ixon
"
"The previous ctrl-s functionality was a relic from the 60s so changing this behavior is unlikely
"to have an effect on modern-day users.
map <C-s> <esc>:w<CR>
imap <C-s> <esc>:w<CR>

"Remap switching of split windows to just control and the the direction
nmap <silent> <C-h> <C-w>h
nmap <silent> <C-j> <C-w>j
nmap <silent> <C-k> <C-w>k
nmap <silent> <C-l> <C-w>l

"Replace tabs with two spaces and autoindent as appropriate
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set expandtab
set autoindent
set smartindent

"Don't use temp save files to help recover data
set noswapfile

"Set the backspace to behave like most other applications
set backspace=indent,eol,start

"Search as you're typing instead of after hitting enter
set incsearch
"Highlight all the words searched for
set hlsearch

"Display incomplete commands in the bottom right hand corner while waiting for a complete commands
set showcmd

"Added pretty colors to keywords in the editor
syntax on

"set an indicator in the lower right hand corner that shows the percent through a file
set ruler

"Highlight the 81st column in active window and underlines the current line
