VI : how to set noautoindent by default

[M. RENE HIPKEN]

When in vi, i always has to :set noautoindent to prevent auto indenting, wich is annoying when doing cut/paste.
Is there a way to set this by default.
TIA

Hi edit you .exrc file and put this option

Hi,

.exrc in your home directory is used by vi for default settings. Create it and include the line:
set noautoindent

There is a Configurationfile for vi in your Home-Directory:
.exrc (if not please create it)

Here you can set defaults for all parameters, so in your case

set noautoindent

By the way...

Welcome to the forums! Hope you find them as useful as I do.

Hi,

edit your $HOME/.profile
and add a line:

EXINIT="set noai" ; export EXINIT

If you have more option you can add them with pipe delimiters ie:

EXINIT="set noai|set nonu"
