Customizing Constants
=====================

   An easy way to customize VIP is to change the values of constants
used in VIP.  Here is the list of the constants used in VIP and their
default values.

`vip-shift-width 8'
     The number of columns shifted by `>' and `<' command.

`vip-re-replace nil'
     If `t' then do regexp replace, if `nil' then do string replace.

`vip-search-wrap-around t'
     If `t', search wraps around the buffer.

`vip-re-search nil'
     If `t' then search is reg-exp search, if `nil' then vanilla search.

`vip-case-fold-search nil'
     If `t' search ignores cases.

`vip-re-query-replace nil'
     If `t' then do reg-exp replace in query replace.

`vip-open-with-indent nil'
     If `t' then indent to the previous current line when open a new
     line by `o' or `O' command.

`vip-tags-file-name "TAGS"'
     The name of the file used as the tags table.

`vip-help-in-insert-mode nil'
     If `t' then <C-h> is bound to `help-command' in insert mode, if
     `nil' then it sis bound to `delete-backward-char'.

You can reset these constants in VIP by the Ex command `set'.  Or you
can include a line like this in your `.vip' file:
     (setq vip-case-fold-search t)
