What is in your .vimrc?

Vi and Vim allow for really awesome customization, typically stored inside a .vimrc file. Typical features for a programmer would be syntax highlighting, smart indenting and so on.

What other tricks for productive programming have you got, hidden in your .vimrc?

I am mostly interested in refactorings, auto classes and similar productivity macros, especially for C#.
