+This enhanced `.vimrc` configuration focuses on leveraging Vim's built-in features to improve the editing experience for Python, JavaScript, Markdown, and Lua, as well as general quality-of-life improvements. It sets up syntax highlighting, adjusts indentation and tab spaces according to common conventions for each language, enables spell checking for Markdown, and includes several navigation and editing conveniences.

+Keep in mind, while this setup uses Vim's built-in capabilities, exploring additional plugins can further extend functionality. However, as requested, this guide focuses on what can be achieved without external tools.
