[SOLVED] Iceweasel & Vimperator ~vimperatorrc file

Ztcoracat · 08-19-2012, 08:03 PM

Before I made this post I went to several sites to understand and help myself with creating a file specifically for vimperator.

http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspo...r-browser.html
http://www.developernotes.com/
http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine...ets-vimperator

In each website the men that wrote the artical's they made it clear that I would need to create a .vimperatorrc file in my ~ folder. This file would make it so that I would not have to tell Iceweasel and Vimperator to give me the url bar each time I started Iceweasel. (:set guioptions+=mT) is the command to make the url appear.
I went to a Debian tutorial to understand how to create a file.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/de...ch-editor.html
In 8.3.1 on that page it explains to open the home directory and type vi. When I do type vi it appears at the bottom of the page of my home directory but does not allow me to make a new file when I type vi<vimperatorrc>

I made a new file using gedit and copied exactly what those men in the article advise to put in that file. I put the file in the home and rebooted. It didn't work.

I'm trying to help myself here but don't know what else to try.
Can you think of a way that this web browser can be fixed?

This is what the file contains:

Code:

 "Turn the menu and toolbar on.
 :set guioptions+=mT

 "Turn off the show tabs by default.
 :set showtabline=1

 "Turn session tracking off.
 :set! browser.startup.page=1

 "Allow user to click in address bar.
 :set! browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll=true
 :set! browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll=true

 "Map Ctrl + n for new windows
 :map <C-n> <C-v><C-n>

 "Map Ctrl + t for new tabs
 :map <C-t> :tabopen<Enter>

 "Map paste operation normally.
 :imap <C-v> <C-v>

Copied it from the website.

After installing updates that my Update Manager installed everything is ok now.
