Re: Odd behaviour with :q!

Interesting: I ran strace -f -o /tmp/vim_trace , and got this:

grep "open.*rc\>" /tmp/vim_trace

/tmp/vim_trace:47680 open("/etc/virc", O_RDONLY)       = 3
/tmp/vim_trace:47680 open("/root/.vimrc", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
/tmp/vim_trace:47680 open("/root/_vimrc", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
/tmp/vim_trace:47680 open("/root/.exrc", O_RDONLY)     = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

As virc is the only open which succeeds, it must be the culprit.  Here's what it looks like:
ls -l /etc/virc 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1962 Apr 19  2010 /etc/virc

<I did paste it here>


I'm too damn lazy to work out which bit is doing it - I think I'll just remove it.

UPDATE:  It's not that! renamed the file, and now:

grep "open.*rc\>" /tmp/vim_trace.48290 
48545 open("/etc/virc", O_RDONLY)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
48545 open("/root/7ticks/.vimrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
48545 open("/root/7ticks/_vimrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

(The only other opens are for library files)

This is odd (and interesting).

Well, that at least demonstrates that all is working correctly before
other files start mucking with your configuration.  So that's good
news.

There are several files that are checked:

  :sp $VIM/vimrc
  :sp ~/.vimrc
  :sp ~/.gvimrc
  :sp ~/.exrc
  :sp $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim

so if any of those exist you might want to check those locations (and
any files they reference) for weird mappings that are screwing with
your settings.
