[Bug 1767314] Re: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly

[Thiago Martins]

Any news about this?!

The vim is still very bad on Ubuntu 20.04.

Any recommendation for a better /etc/vim/* ?

Title:
  Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The vim default configuration in Bionic does not match Ubuntu 17.10
  nor Centos 7 and is hard to use. It auto-inserts tabs or spaces, and
  the '/' search mode command works differently (pressing enter is
  required before you can use cursors left/right).

  For some discussion, please see
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1026820/vi-vim-usage-in-ubuntu-bionic-
  not-normal/1028684#1028684

  Setting :set nocompatbile in ~/.vimrc fixes it, but this should not be
  required.
