commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/8c08b5b569e2a9e9f63dea514591ecfa2d3bb392 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Thu Jul 28 22:24:15 2016 +0200 patch 7.4.2111 Problem: Defaults are very conservative. Solution: Move settings from vimrc_example.vim to defaults.vim. Load defaults.vim if no .vimrc was found.

+details.  NOTE: this is done since Vim 8.0, not in Vim 7.4. (it was added in

+This should work well for new Vim users.  If you create your own .vimrc, it is
+recommended to add this line somewhere near the top: >

+Then Vim works like before you had a .vimrc. Copying $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example
