I just installed Cygwin on my work machine and would like to use the .vimrc file I use on my Linux box at home.
- Is that possible, or does it need to have Cygwin-specific settings?
- Where would I put the .vimrc file?
I’m a little unsure of what directory I’m being dropped into at the bash prompt under Cygwin, but I think I’d create a subdirectory called .vim there, right?
1) Yes it is possible. It doesnt need any cygwin specific settings, though you can add some windows specific ones. Just make sure to install vi (vim gvim equivalent) properly.
2) the same place as on *nix — user home directory
