I think there is a lot more than this to say about writing scheme
code in Vim, which means that the following would need to be edited
into a large document, but I'll throw it in to get started[1]:
At a minimum, your .vimrc file should contain the following
commands:
<++> .vimrc
"automatically indent a new line to the same indentation of the
"previous line. This makes it easier to work with a single block
"of code.
set autoindent
"when you type a closing parenthesis, momentarily highlight the
"matching opening parenthesis. This allows you to quickly see
"which function you are closing while typing code.
set showmatch

per the instructions on [wiki:svn checkout].
