VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
|
|
|
|
|
|
*unix* *Unix*
|
|
This file contains the particularities for the Unix version of Vim.
|
|
|
|
For compiling Vim on Unix see "INSTALL" and "Makefile" in the src directory.
|
|
|
|
The default help file name is "/usr/local/lib/vim/help.txt" The files
|
|
"$HOME/.vimrc" and "$HOME/.exrc" are used for configuration. Additionally
|
|
"/usr/local/etc/vimrc" is used first. If "/usr/local/share" exists it is used
|
|
instead of "/usr/local/lib".
|
|
|
|
Temporary files (for filtering) are put in "/tmp". If you want to place them
|
|
somewhere else, set the environment variable $TMPDIR to the directory you
|
|
prefer.
|
|
|
|
With wildcard expansion you can use '~' (home directory) and '$'
|
|
(environment variable).
|
|
|
|
*fork* *spoon*
|
|
For executing external commands fork()/exec() is used when possible, otherwise
|
|
system() is used, which is a bit slower. The output of ":version" includes
|
|
|+fork| when fork()/exec() is used, |+system()| when system() is used. This
|
|
can be changed at compile time.
|
|
|
|
Because terminal updating under Unix is often slow (e.g. serial line
|
|
terminal, shell window in suntools), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' options
|
|
are off by default.
|
|
|
|
When using Vim in an xterm the mouse clicks can be used by Vim by setting
|
|
'mouse' to "a". If there is access to an X-server gui style copy/paste will
|
|
be used and visual feedback will be provided while dragging with the mouse.
|
|
If you then still want the xterm copy/paste with the mouse, press the shift
|
|
key when using the mouse. See |mouse-using|.
|
|
|
|
*terminal-colors*
|
|
To use colors in Vim you can use the following example (if your terminal
|
|
supports colors, but "T_Co" is empty or zero): >
|
|
:set t_me=^[[0;1;36m " normal mode (undoes t_mr and t_md)
|
|
:set t_mr=^[[0;1;33;44m " reverse (invert) mode
|
|
:set t_md=^[[1;33;41m " bold mode
|
|
:set t_se=^[[1;36;40m " standout end
|
|
:set t_so=^[[1;32;45m " standout mode
|
|
:set t_ue=^[[0;1;36m " underline end
|
|
:set t_us=^[[1;32m " underline mode start
|
|
[the ^[ is an <Esc>, type CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it]
|
|
|
|
For real color terminals the ":highlight" command can be used.
|
|
|
|
The file "tools/vim132" is a shell script that can be used to put Vim in 132
|
|
column mode on a vt100 and lookalikes.
