What is in your .vimrc? [closed]
Vi and Vim allow for really awesome customization, typically stored inside a .vimrc file. Typical features for a programmer would be syntax highlighting, smart indenting and so on.
What other tricks for productive programming have you got, hidden in your .vimrc?
I am mostly interested in refactorings, auto classes and similar productivity macros, especially for C#.
You asked for it :-)

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
This isn't in my .vimrc file, but yesterday I learned about the ]p command. This pastes the contents of a buffer just like p does, but it automatically adjusts the indent to match the line the cursor is on! This is excellent for moving code around.
I use the following to keep all the temporary and backup files in one place:
set backup
set backupdir=~/.vim/backup
set directory=~/.vim/tmp
Saves cluttering working directories all over the place.
You will have to create these directories first, vim will not create them for you.
Someone (viz. Frew) who posted above had this line:
"Automatically cd into the directory that the file is in:"
autocmd BufEnter * execute "chdir ".escape(expand("%:p:h"), ' ')
I was doing something like that myself until I discovered the same thing could be accomplished with a built in setting:
set autochdir
I think something similar has happened to me a few different times. Vim has so many different built-in settings and options that it's sometimes quicker and easier to roll-your-own than search the docs for the built-in way to do it.
My latest addition is for highlighting of the current line
set cul # highlight current line
hi CursorLine term=none cterm=none ctermbg=3 # adjust color
