Hello,

I'm not the swiftest (hack) around with finessing the (bash) shell
and customizations for c/c++ (command line) programming. What I'm
doing is trying to setup .vimrc so that when I edit a file
(*.c or *.cpp) my shell uses the entries in the (user's) .vimrc file.
However any other file I access via 'vi' I want it to ignore these
customizations or use a second config file for 'vim' customizations.
Ideas on how to accomplish this are welcome.

I've stumbled across ideas on how to make .vimrc really cool for writing
c/c++ programs. I have not found a comprehensive reference on all of the
possibilities and what works. A wiki would be very cool. I've been
testing a custom setup for .vimrc:

set ai " autoindent
set si " smartindent
set cindent " do c-style indenting
set tabstop=3 " tab spacing settings below are just to unify it
set softtabstop=3 " unify
set shiftwidth=3 " unify
set noexpandtab " real tabs please!
set nowrap " do not wrap lines
set smarttab " use tabs at the start of a line, spaces elsewhere

Additionally, I'm experimenting with QT4 so any suggestions
related to QT4 are also appreciated. Any comments, ideas or resources
I can look at, would be most appreciated.

James
