Suggested vim configuration for working with root

Hello root experts and vim users :slight_smile:

How do you configure vim to be most helpful when working with root? I’m especially interested in anyone with a good configuration for using syntastic or some other syntax checking plugin along with root.

Hi,

I have this in my ~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim :

if !exists("c_no_cern_root")
