<p>The file <code>.vimrc</code> in your home directory has instructions for [[vim]] to load every time it runs. Customizations go there.</p>
<p>For instance, you might want to use [[Markdown]] to edit files that end in <code>.md</code>. The system default for some reason is to treat these as [[Modula-2]] files, though we dont have a Modula-2 compiler running (yet). So the contents of <code>.vimrc</code> should read</p>
<p><code>au BufRead,BufNewFile *.md set filetype=markdown</code></p>
<p>For more suggestions in deep depth on how to set up your <code>.vimrc</code> please read <a href="http://dougblack.io/words/a-good-vimrc.html">this tutorial from Doug Black</a>.</p>
