I’m trying to use the < C-a> (CTRL+A) shorcut under vim to increment a variable under the cursor. This works fine under vim running on Linux. However when I try to do this in gvim under windows it ‘selects all’ (i.e. highlights or visually selects all text in the current window). How can I change this behaviour or alternatively how can I recover the increment variable functionality (e.g. perhaps with a different key mapping)?
This is because of mswin.vim that is sourced by the default _vimrc generated when you install vim. Just override your _vimrc with the .vimrc you are using under *nix, or delete mswin.vim.
