+# sensible.vim
+
+Think of sensible.vim as one step above `'nocompatible'` mode: a universal
+set of defaults that (hopefully) everyone can agree on.
+
+* If you're new to Vim, you can install this as a starting point, rather than
+  copying some random vimrc you found.
+* If you're pair programming and you can't agree on whose vimrc to use, this
+  can be your neutral territory.
+* If you're administrating a server with an account that's not exclusively
+  yours, you can `scp` this up to make things a bit more tolerable.
+* If you're troubleshooting a plugin and need to rule out interference from
+  your vimrc, having this installed will ensure you still have some basic
+  amenities.
+
+## Installation
+
+If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend
+installing [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and
+then simply copy and paste:
+
+    cd ~/.vim/bundle
+    git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible.git
+
+## Features
+
+See the [source][] for the authoritative list of features.  (Don't worry, it's
+mostly `:set` calls.)  Here's a taste:
+
+* `'backspace'`: Backspace through anything in insert mode.
+* `'incsearch'`: Start searching before pressing enter.
+* `'listchars'`: Show trailing whitespace.
+* `'scrolloff'`: Always show at least one line above/below the cursor.

+
+## Contributing
+
+I want this to be a plugin nobody objects to installing.  [Let me know][GitHub
+issues] if you have any objections to *anything*.  There are a handful of
+settings I figured *might* be controversial, but I included anyways, just to
+settle the question once and for all.  It won't take much persuasion for me to
+remove them.  Everything else is negotiable.
+
+Feel free to ask a question if you're not sure why I've set something, as I
+haven't put much effort into documenting that.
+
+I'm a stickler for [commit messages][], so if you send me a pull
+request with so much as superfluous period in the subject line, I will
+close it without so much as a second thought, and save my precious attention
+for someone who can actually follow directions.
