Jakob Schnitzer dbf68da698 doc: mark macatsui option as removed, update vim_diff.txt
This option has already been removed in the source.

Nvim does not have a GUI, so `nvim -g` does not work.
Also add `macatsui` to the list of removed options.

NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
Differences between Nvim and Vim *vim-differences*
Throughout the help files, differences between Nvim and Vim are indicated via
the "{Nvim}" tag. This document is a complete and centralized list of all
these differences.
1. Configuration |nvim-configuration|
2. Option defaults |nvim-option-defaults|
3. Changed features |nvim-features-changed|
4. New features |nvim-features-new|
5. Missing legacy features |nvim-features-missing|
6. Removed features |nvim-features-removed|
==============================================================================
1. Configuration *nvim-configuration*
- Use `.nvimrc` instead of `.vimrc` for storing configuration.
- Use `.nvim` instead of `.vim` to store configuration files.
- Use `.nviminfo` instead of `.viminfo` for persistent session information.
==============================================================================
2. Option defaults *nvim-option-defaults*
- 'nocompatible' is always set
- 'encoding' defaults to "utf-8"
==============================================================================
3. Changed features *nvim-features-changed*
Nvim always builds with all features, in contrast to Vim which may have
certain features removed/added at compile-time. This is like if Vim's "HUGE"
build was the only Vim release type (except Nvim is smaller than Vim's "HUGE"
build).
If a Python interpreter is available on your `$PATH`, |:python| and |:python3|
are always available and may be used simultaneously in separate plugins. The
`neovim` pip package must be installed to use Python plugins in Nvim (see
|nvim-python|).
==============================================================================
4. New Features *nvim-features-new*
See |nvim-intro| for a list of Nvim's largest new features.
Meta-key chords are recognized (even in the terminal).
<M-1>, <M-2>, ...
<M-BS>, <M-Del>, <M-Ins>, ...
<M-/>, <M-\>, ...
<M-Space>, <M-Enter>, <M-=>, <M-->, <M-?>, <M-$>, ...
`CTRL-SHIFT-...` key chords are distinguished from `CTRL-...` variants (even in
the terminal).
<C-Tab>, <C-S-Tab>
<C-BS>, <C-S-BS>
<C-Enter>, <C-S-Enter>
Events:
|TabNew|
|TabNewEntered|
|TabClosed|
Highlight groups:
|hl-EndOfBuffer|
|hl-TermCursor|
|hl-TermCursorNC|
==============================================================================
5. Missing legacy features *nvim-features-missing*
These legacy Vim features may be implemented in the future, but they are not
planned for the current milestone.
- vim.bindeval() (new feature in Vim 7.4 Python interface)
- if_ruby
- if_lua
- if_perl
- if_mzscheme
- if_tcl
==============================================================================
6. Removed features *nvim-features-removed*
These features are in Vim, but have been intentionally removed from Nvim.
Vi-compatible mode:
":set nocompatible" is ignored
":set compatible" is an error
Ed-compatible mode:
":set noedcompatible" is ignored
":set edcompatible" is an error
'ttyfast':
":set ttyfast" is ignored
":set nottyfast" is an error
Encryption support:
'cryptmethod'
'key'
MS-DOS support:
'bioskey'
'conskey'
Other options:
'macatsui'
'shortname'
'shelltype'
'textauto'
'textmode'
Other commands:
:fixdel
:mode no longer accepts an argument
:shell
Other compile-time features:
EBCDIC
Nvim does not have a built-in GUI and hence the following aliases have been
removed: gvim, gex, gview, rgvim, rgview
"Easy mode" (eview, evim, nvim -y)
"(g)vimdiff" (alias for "(g)nvim -d" |diff-mode|)
"Vi mode" (nvim -v)
The ability to start nvim via the following aliases has been removed in favor
of just using their command line arguments:
ex nvim -e
exim nvim -E
view nvim -R
rvim nvim -Z
rview nvim -RZ
