To display that all the time, place the following settings in your ~.vimrc file. set number set ruler “set number” will place a vertical column on the left to show the line numbers. “set ruler” will place a bottom row to show the current line number and row number, plus where you are in the edited file in percentage.

被人誤解的時候能微微的一笑，這是一種素養； 受委屈的時候能坦然的一笑，這是一種大度； 吃虧的時候能開心的一笑，這是一種豁達； 處窘境的時候能自嘲的一笑， 這是一種智慧； 無奈的時候能達觀的一笑，這是一種境界； 危難的時候能泰然一笑，這是一種大氣； 被輕蔑的時候能平靜的一笑，這是一種自信； 失戀的時候能輕輕的一笑，這是一種灑脫。 不管是有什麼事情，為了什麼原因， 我們每天都要開心一笑~~
