Yes, that's what I was thinking exactly. And a good idea re: trying to work for a bit without a .vimrc (or maybe re-adding basic shortcuts later on and ending up with a very minimalist vimrc).

I have a 15 or so lines long .vimrc that I put on all the VPSes I work on without any plugin. It's great for keeping myself sharp.
