You can download many vimrc files from the internet. If you want to start one with the current settings in your vim program, run this command:
:mkvimrc ~/.vimrc
This is my current .vimrc configuration file (for the Mac, GUI Vim or MacVim). Note that I allowed vim to set me up with a default vimrc on windows (see starting a new vimrc above), so some of the common windows key mappings are in place. These lines would be before the following.
