Some Stuff

• To enable syntax highlighting + numbering:

:syntax enable
:set bg=light          #Use set bg=dark if console background color is dark
:set number

• Use Ctrl+[ instead of Esc. It has same effect (same keycode) but it's faster to type. It also works on AZERTY keyboard.
  • ... but so far not in AndLinux...
