[SOLVED] How to get line numbers in gvim editor?

Issue

In my Unix, I have to use :set number command in gvim to get line numbers everytime. Is there any way or command to edit .tcshrc and get the numbers permanently ?
If yes, please help me with the command.


Solution

Your .tcshrc is meant to contain various customisations of your tcsh shell (and other shells use different files: .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.). Vim is not part of your shell so it uses its own configuration file: ~/.vimrc, where you are supposed to put things like set number. If the file doesn't exist, create it.

I would suggest you set aside ~30 minutes of your time to follow $ vimtutor, which goes over this very subject among other basics.
