I am using the Show Marks plugin in vim to display where the marks are. The displayed marks can be toggled on/off with the \mt command. When I first open a document the marks are off like so:
Then about 4 seconds later with absolutely no action on my part, the left hand mark margin pops in like so:
I have three questions:
- What are those default marks?
- Why is it taking several seconds for it to get displayed?
- How can I force the mark margin to activate/deactivate at start up?
Here is .vimrc file (I know it's messy, but in the words of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz: "You have a right to kill me...but you have no right to judge me.")
