hi there

as i'm currently developing a package for openwrt (some accounting hacks) i use vi very often. the thing which is getting more and more annoying is that i have to do a

:set tabstop=2

each time i start vi.

with vim i have the possibility to create a $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/.exrc (or by setting the EXINIT env variable) where i can setup such standard-commands and vim loads these settings each time it starts.

is there a chance that vim comes into the new versions of openwrt or does anyone know if the vi installed on openwrt supports such a startup-script-file?

which editors do you use for editing .php/.c/.sh/source files?

regards, armin.

I use vim for everything I edit outside of the WRT but the "vi" command included with OpenWRT is actually part of the "busybox" binary. If you didn't know, busybox is a Swiss army knife of commands designed to give as much functionality in as little space as possible so it will be light on features. So I believe it would be a question for the busybox developers if that functionality could be added in or create a separate vi/vim package (vim requires a lot more space). http://www.busybox.net/
