Vim
Because of the new working environment, I cannot use my favourite customised Emacs to work. So, I have to adapt with the new text editor. Luckily, vim is available in the remote server. That means I can use SSH to run the vim. And, even Emacs is available, I feel difficult to customise and install the packages I need, because I don’t have experience installing Emacs’ packages using text-based UI. (But if it is available, I may make a try.)
On the other hand, vim is a little different. vim is more tend to text-based UI, though there is a GUI version called GVim. In order to familiarise with vim, I also did some customisation on it, especially the key binding (hotkey) which is, totally not user-friendly by default. So, I share my ~/.vimrc with this post.
