Stop being a man and just ask for directions :)

Oh don't worry, I have no shame. I was asking a ton of questions, yet I still couldn't figure it out.


It just feels so insurmountable that I can't even start working with
it yet because I don't know how to tailor the settings.

"vim ~/.vimrc" is all you need on any system but Windows. There IIRC
you need to edit C:\Program Files\VIM\_vimrc.

But what about customizing syntax coloring? Is this also in the same file? I've noticed a separate file called python.vim (in Windows, this file exists in a 'syntax' folder, and also another file of the same name in an 'indent' folder, so I'm *still* confused about which files are used for which settings.
