Oh the good old vim editor, my favorite!
When my Kubuntu was up and running, I noticed that vim is not turning on syntax highlighting and not remembering my last cursor position when I last opened the file - the cursor always positions at the top of the file everytime I open it. Time to hack that .vimrc! (/etc/vim/vimrc)

syntax on
' turn on pattern highlighting during search
set hlsearch
" Make VIM move the cursor automatically to the last position when we last opened the file.

autocmd BufReadPost *
