All this despite having +``` + set mouse= +``` + +in my `/etc/vim/vimrc.local`. Finally I found out why, thanks to bug [#864074][1] and fixed it. + +![][2] + +The whole mess comes from the fact that, when there is no `~/.vimrc`, vim loads `defaults.vim` **after** ` vimrc.local` and thus overwriting several settings put in there. + +There is a comment (I didn't see, though) in `/etc/vim/vimrc` explaining this: +``` +" Vim will load $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim if the user does not have a vimrc. +" This happens after /etc/vim/vimrc(.local) are loaded, so it will override +" any settings in these files. +" If you don't want that to happen, uncomment the below line to prevent +" defaults.vim from being loaded. +" let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 +``` + + +I agree that this is a good way to setup vim on a normal installation of Vim, but the Debian package could do better. The problem is laid out clearly in the bug report: If there is no `~/.vimrc`, settings in `/etc/vim/vimrc.local` are overwritten. + +This is as counterintuitive as it can be in Debian - and I don't know any other package that does it in a similar way. + +Since the settings in `defaults.vim` are quite reasonable, I want to have them, but only fix a few of the items I disagree with, like the mouse. At the end what I did is the following in my `/etc/vim/vimrc.local`: +``` +if filereadable("/usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim") + source /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim +endif +" now set the line that the defaults file is not reloaded afterwards! +let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 + +" turn of mouse +set mouse= +" other override settings go here +``` + + +There is probably a better way to get a generic load statement that does not depend on the Vim version, but for now I am fine with that. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.preining.info/blog/2017/10/fixing-vim-in-debian/ + +作者：[Norbert Preining][a] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]:https://www.preining.info/blog/author/norbert/ +[1]:https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864074 +[2]:https://www.preining.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fixing-debian-vim.jpg
