Initialization

At startup Vimperator sources a user RC file, containing Ex commands, and any JavaScript files found in the plugin directory.

The RC file may be named .vimperatorrc or _vimperatorrc. The search order is:

• Unix and Mac - ~/.vimperatorrc then ~/_vimperatorrc
• Windows - ~/_vimperatorrc then ~/.vimperatorrc

The plugin directory is named:

• Unix and Mac - ~/.vimperator/plugin
• Windows - ~/vimperator/plugin

The user's $HOME(~) directory is determined as follows:

• Unix and Mac - $HOME is used.
• Windows - if $HOME is set then this is used, otherwise $USERPROFILE or finally $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH.

$VIMPERATOR_HOME can be used to override the calculated $HOME directory.
