Valiate `~/.vimrc`












0















I want to validate that my ~/.vimrc file is correct, basically just by launching vim and immediately running quit. I can almost do this with vim -c quit, except that I have to press the enter key. For example,



> cat ~/.vimrc
echoerr 'test'

> vim -c quit
Error detected while processing /home/josh/.vimrc:
line 1:
test
Press ENTER or type command to continue


Is there a way to do this without pressing enter? I guess I could just run echo | vim -c quit, but I was hoping there was a more elegant solution.
