a lot easier to use
+ set nocompatible " Make Vim behave less like vi and more like Vim - this makes vim

syntax on " Syntax highlight whatever language you are editing, Vim supports many languages
set incsearch " Enable incremental searching by default
+ set showmatch " Highlight the matches of the last search
