My Vim (gVim) configuration

My Vim Configuration:

• Mono-spaced small font suitable for a small laptop screen at 1280×800
• “Desert theme” with dark background, 256-color palette
• Some useful keyboard mappings
• Use spaces as tabs (2 spaces = 1 tab), Smart indentation
• Display line-numbers, Show matching braces when hover
• Display all special characters (that is generally not supported in code files)
• Auto-completion
• Status-line modifications
• Syntax-checking upon saving for almost all languages (plugins, see below)
• File skeletons upon creation (plugins, see below)
• Ignore CVS-, temporary and images (etc) files and directories
• Disabled annoying sounds and bells (blinking)
