Posts here will mostly contain full configuration files for my own reference and will not likely not have much explanation. See posts in the Guides category for more explanational posts.
Vim is the text editor that I have been working on learning recently. I will eventually have a dotfiles repository on GitHub, but for now, I will keep this here.

Additional Notes
Pasting Text in Putty and XFCE-Terminal
When the mouse functions are enabled (set mouse=a), it is difficult to use the mouse functions built in to the terminal. This includes Putty.
For putty, I found that I can temporarily disable mouse integration by holding down the shift key.
For xfce-terminal, use CTRL+SHIFT+V when in insert mode to paste text, or click on Edit -> Paste.
Otherwise, the Vim mouse functions can be disabled by using the command set mouse-=a.
