- Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Many new
- features have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line
- history, on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations,
- script language, etc. There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.
- Still, Vi compatibility is maintained, those who have Vi "in the fingers" will
- feel at home. See runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt for differences with Vi.
- This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files. All
- commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type with
- ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be mapped to
- commands by the user, and the mouse can be used.
- Vim runs under MS-Windows (NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10), Macintosh, VMS and
- almost all flavours of UNIX. Porting to other systems should not be very
- difficult. Older versions of Vim run on MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/Me, Amiga DOS,
- Atari MiNT, BeOS, RISC OS and OS/2. These are no longer maintained.
- Flavors:
- gtk2 - build using the Gtk+2 toolkit (default);
- motif - build using the Motif toolkit;
- athena - build using the Athena toolkit;
- no_x11 - build without X11 support;
- lua - build with Lua support;
- perl - build with Perl support;
- python - build with Python support;
- python3 - build with Python3 support;
- ruby - build with Ruby support;
- huge - build with --with-features=huge.
