is disabled by default). Note that this setting does not affect the speed
with which windows open when using the |mvim| command.
The main reason why this feature is not enabled by default is because on OS X
10.4 changes to runtime files (e.g. those in "~/.vim") are not detected. For
example, if you install a new plugin and then press <D-n> to open a new
window, then that first window will not notice the plugin (but any consecutive
windows after the first one will). On OS X 10.5 and later all modifications
to runtime files in "~/.vim" are detected, so unless you keep runtime files in
another folder there should be no problems.
Note that any changes to runtime files that are kept in an non-standard
location (i.e. not in ~/.vim) will not be picked up for the first window that
opens after any changes. Also, there are some issues related to reading and
writing of the |viminfo| file which can lead to the command line history
appearing to be lost (as well as any other information stored in the |viminfo|
file). For example, if you open a window, edit some files then close the
window, then the next window that opens will not have the same command line
history as the window you just closed (however the next window you open will).
For these reasons Quickstart is disabled by default.
