I want a VI command by which i can remove all my vi settings. ie, I assume there must be something which can be entered in single line mode (Like we do :set ic, :syn off) by which vi will behave with default or no settings. I wasn’t able to get something by googling

What… hmm., no preview and this notices the tags and does something gunky… anyways, I ment to remove (sorry for the whitespace), i.e. only nnoremap :set number! is sufficient.nnoremap :set number! is sufficient.

The .vimrc file needs to be in your home directory. Since the root user’s home directory is in a different location than the standard user, it would make sense to put it in that location.

Though if using sudo to act as root, it may or may not use the user’s .vimrc file – simple enough to test.

This toggles line numbres:
:set nu!
Put this in .vimrc to make F6 toggle line numbers:
nnoremap :set nu!
