.virc or .vimrc

[gpatrick]

I'm trying to create a .virc or .vimrc file for mapping keys but it doesn't work.

If I set them by hand inside vi, then it works, e.g.:

:map! xI <i> </i>

but if (below) is in the .virc or .vimrc file it doesn't have any effect.

map! xI <i> </i>

This happens with either /usr/bin/vi or /usr/local/bin/vim running 8.2-RELEASE-p2.

You want to customize vi or vim?

 

[graudeejs]

You need to install editor/vim and use vim

vi != vim like on many linuxes
