Bug#441111: vim: please set syntax=on by default on the gral config file

[Marie 3Jane Marie-France TEssier-Ashpool]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: wishlist


Please set syntax=on as default on the install config file.

There are almost no moments in which 
you will not want the syntax, and 
those moments are lived by people 
that knows how to edit a config file.

Each time I install a machine I have 
to edit the config file, and 
more sadly, many times I help a friend 
to fix a problem, found the suntax off.
I turn it on and the machine user always 
wants to keep it.

Next time I will give him or her the number 
of the bug, to vote for it.

:)

Thanks!


Tatiana
