Description

A GUI to customize vim will be great. Right now using .vimrc file to implement the changes. A GUI to do that will be great.

Clarification: I am not suggesting anything like an IDE/SDK. All I want a GUI which could say something like for example,

1) Remove tab spaces.
2) Enable Auto indentation
3) Have syntax on.
4) Just write in your map command and map it to the combination of vi commands from a drop down menu.

.....
.....

with check boxes and drop down menus.

I think having a GUI which show all possible commands and stuff that you can do in vi, it would be great. Agreed that there are tutorials online for vi but this would be make it much more easier for the user to master vi.

Well I did not get what you meant? If you are meaning something like IDE or SDK, i guess you have got me wrong. All I want to have is a GUI in setting up .vimrc file. Even i do not prefer IDE or SDK's. vim as it is great but in setting up the .vimrc for it is what I want a GUI for.
