- .inputrc
- The file belongs in user's $HOME directory. It modifies the default uparrow and downarrow behavior to resemble that of of Firefox's navigation bar. Instead of just cycling through previous/next command in bash history, you get history-based autocompletion. Old behavior still available if command prompt is empty(CTRL-u will clear it if you're in a hurry).
- .vimrc
Configuration file for the vim text editor. Highlights:
- Syntax highlighting is ON by default.
- TAB key inserts 4 spaces (the recommended indentation for Python).
- lines exceeding 80 characters are highlighted
- F7, F8 mapped to previous/next tab - useful for editing multiple files.
