Try adding this near the end of your vimrc:

au VimEnter * au FileType * setlocal fo-=c

This is supposed to add ":setlocal fo-=c" at the end of the list of
FileType autocommands for any filetype. (The VimEnter event is triggered
at the very end of startup.)

The problem is that if you forget to break lines when typing a comment,
you might find yourself with a single-line comment of, let's say, 1000
characters, which might be, hm, shall we say, a little awkward?

Another possible problem is that if you use the "filetype plugin off"
command, it may disable this autocommand, which won't be set again by
"filetype plugin on". In that case you should add it near the end of a
~/.vim/after/filetype.vim (for Unix / Linux / Mac OSX) or
~/vimfiles/after/filetype.vim (for Windows) (neither this file nor its
directory exist by default, create them if necessary, DON'T modify
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim):

"------------------------------------filetype.vim start
augroup filetypedetect
"
" ... maybe some custom filetype-detection if-clauses
"
au FileType * setlocal fo-=c

augroup END
"------------------------------------filetype.vim end

Thus will be set again every time you do ":filetype [plugin] [indent]
on". I am less sure that this will remove the c flag *after* it has been
set though.


Best regards,
Tony.
