command! WipeReg for i in range(34,122) | silent! call setreg(nr2char(i), []) | endfor
"autocmd VimEnter * WipeReg
first line sets WipeReg command. This does what you think it does.
Second line will do this when starting vim if you uncomment the line (remove leading ")
I never actually use this, I just think it's cool. :^)

I just set numberlines to show. That's it.

:set mouse=a
enable resizing and switching focus on viewports using mouse.
:set shortmess+=I
Strop reminding me about Ugandan children.
:map :set paste
:map :set nopaste
:imap :set paste
:imap
:set pastetoggle=
If you don't have system clipboard support, vim will mess up indenting of pasted code. This is the workaround found in
:help pastetoggle
but with keybinds that don't confict with gnome-terminal's existing ones.
>I actually do has "+ register, but leave that in for the sake of portability.

:highlight Normal ctermfg=Grey ctermbg=Black
highlight DiffAdd cterm=bold ctermfg=10 ctermbg=17 gui=none guifg=bg guibg=Red
highlight DiffDelete cterm=bold ctermfg=10 ctermbg=17 gui=none guifg=bg guibg=Red
highlight DiffChange cterm=bold ctermfg=10 ctermbg=17 gui=none guifg=bg guibg=Red
highlight DiffText cterm=bold ctermfg=10 ctermbg=88 gui=none guifg=bg guibg=Red
First line is general color scheme, and the rest is for diff mode. Easier on the eyes imo.

If you use NerdTree for example and type :q in the main window it closes, leaving the NerdTree Window open, wich then you have to close again by another :q
This lets you quit both at once.
autocmd bufenter * if (winnr("$") == 1 && exists("b:NERDTree") && b:NERDTree.isTabTree()) | q | endif
Another cool thing is when you forgot to sudo and can't save the file without opening it again with sudo vim
cmap w!! w !sudo tee > /dev/null %

completion dropdown functions like in your babby IDEs
" makes the enter key select from list, not \n
inoremap pumvisible() ? "\" : "\u\"
" simulate a down-press so that something is always highlighted
inoremap pumvisible() ? '' : '=pumvisible() ? "\Down>" : ""'
inoremap pumvisible() ? '' : '=pumvisible() ? "\Down>" : ""'

the search function isn't case sensitive unless you use an uppercase character in your query
" search ignores case unless uppercase given

Here's a small function i wrote that makes the current window the length of the line + 20 chars. I find it very useful when you have low screen space plus long lines. I have it bound to gl.
function! LineWidth()
execute("vertical resize " . (strlen(getline(".")) + 20))
endfunction
