Macvim and vimrc

[Zoltan Kiraly]

Hi,
I'm using vim on a linux computer, and I would like to use the same .vimrc with Macvim. Is it possible? Where to put the .vimrc file on OS X for MacVim?

Thank you!

Your .vimrc will go in your home directory (on a mac that's /Users/username), but otherwise it's just ~ and will get picked up by macvim.

If you need to do different configuration in your mac's .vimrc, you can do an if block like this to separate out the code.

if has('gui_macvim')

  .... 

endif

Thank you. I was a bit confused because I read someting about .gvimrc.
So, I just need to copy my .vimrc from linux to mac. Thank you!

You can also use the gvimrc. I use it for options which are only
useful for MacVim but not for Vim.

My .gvimrc looks like this:

set columns=100
set lines=60
set guioptions=cegmLt
set guifont=Source\ Code\ Pro:h14
set guicursor=n:blinkon0
set transparency=10
set background=light

Which also can be done with an if in vimrc. I guess it is a question
of taste how you do it. Well, some options won't work on the GTK+
version of Vim.

Should work, just put it in your home directory. Just like on Linux.
