I’ve been struggling for hours on trying to make VIM my main code editor for scripting languages like python and php. Of course, I can open files with VIM, but how do I get nice formatting and syntax highlighting?
Thanks a bunch

Use
:syn onin your.vimrcfile. This should turn on Syntax Highlighting.You probably also want
:set smartindentwhich does a few automatic indent tricks for you.
