To make the vim plugin more usable, I collect a list of settings you should set for the optimal experience when starting out.

Setting Value Description
Scrolloff 8 or greater Number of lines of active scroll offset. Whenever your cursor reaches that number to the top or bottom of the visual plane, the editor will start scrolling.
Relative Line Numbering true Shows the line numbers relative to your cursor’s current position. This will make jumping to specific locations easier
Word Wrap false This setting makes lines break virtually so all text is on your screen. This makes VIM motions unintuitive.
