I can\'t believe I am typing a question for a simple thing like this but here we are. I can\'t for the life of me figure out what the exact name for the settings file is for vim
Why not just edit the vimrc file in vim itself and figure it out its name?. Using the following command.
:e $MYVIMRC
As ghiscoding mentions in a comment, you may need to run Vim as an administrator to be able to save your changes.
