Vim 8.2.2912 changes the default on Windows, eliminating the primary
issue this was intended to fix. Changing 'encoding' can prevent
previously defined maps from working, so let's rip this out sooner
rather than later.

It's only very rarely that I want this off, but since file type plugins
tend to turn it on when it's desirable, the argument for forcing it
globally is pretty weak.
* Enable upwards tags file searching with `./tags;` in 'tags'.
* Enable joining commented lines with `formatoptions` j flag.
* Remove 'showcmd', 'shiftround', and 'fileformat' changes.
* Allow fish as 'shell' for compatible Vim versions.
* Don't override user specified 'ttimeoutlen'.
* Don't force `t_Co` to 16 for Eterm.
* Add :diffupdate to CTRL-L map.
As of 7.4.276, Vim understands how to run commands in subshells when
'shell' is fish. This fixes the most common problems with running
external commands from Vim.
Plugins may still need to accommodate for fish, but fixing the cognitive
dissonance of having the user's shell changed outweighs the benefit to
lazy plugin writers.
The shiftround setting breaks many common cases of multi-line indent and
outdent for continuation lines. For example, suppose I have the
following code, in a buffer with 8-space indentation:
foo(x,
y)
With the default settings, I can > those two lines, and end up with this:
foo(x,
y);
But with shiftround, I instead end up with:
foo(x,
y);
Thus, revert to the vim default of noshiftround.
* Break undo after CTRL-U.
* Set shiftround.
* Set tabpagemax=50.
* Set nrformats-=octal.
* Set sessionoptions-=options.
* Set history=1000.
* Set ttimeoutlen=100.
* Set encoding=utf-8 in gvim.
* Override shell=fish to use a supported shell instead.
* Use ASCII only listchars.
* Drop fillchars.
* Drop smartcase.
* Drop autowrite.
* Drop showmatch.
* Drop Y mapping.
* Don't clobber scroll offsets.
* Don't override a blank viminfo.
* Don't force UNIX line endings on Windows.
* Stop setting temporary directories.
As discussed in Issue #57, setting Unicode characters for
`listchars` is a problematic default because of the scrolling
performance impact incurred when one of the specified glyphs is missing
from the user's selected font.
An alternative approach would be to choose "safer" unicode characters
that are likely to exist in most fonts. Given that the purpose of
vim-sensible is to provide universal sane defaults it seems this would
be best left to the user's `.vimrc` or another plugin.
