readme.txt for version 7.4 of vim: vi improved. vim is an almost compatible version of the 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, etc. there is also a graphical user interface (gui) available. 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 defined by the user, and the mouse can be used. vim runs under amiga dos, ms-dos, ms-windows (95, 98, me, nt, 2000, xp, vista, 7), atari mint, macintosh, beos, vms, risc os, os/2 and almost all flavours of unix. porting to other systems should not be very difficult. there are separate distributions for unix, pc, amiga and some other systems. this readme.txt file comes with the runtime archive. it includes the documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime. to run vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive. which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you

QUESTION
I am using MacVim Version 8.2.3455 (172)
I have a ruby file vim_test.rb with one line of code.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-13 at 19:23:help gf works by searching for the filename under the cursor in the directories listed in the :help 'path'.
By default, the value of path is .,/usr/include,,, which means that Vim is going to search in:
- the directory of the current file, that's the
., /usr/include, which is of no use to you,- the working directory, that's the
,,.
Which works perfectly well with your sample.
Now, filetype plugin indent on tells Vim to enable filetype detection, filetype plugins, and filetype-specific indenting. The problem, here, is that the Ruby filetype plugin tries hard to locate all the places on your system that might hide Ruby libs and then sets the path option to that list. For example, this is what I get on my machine (YMMV):
QUESTION
I have a problem setting a theme from by Daylee Rees (https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes) for Vim (term/MacVim).
When I choose the theme say "Lavender Contrast" -
colorscheme Lavendar Contrast
I get an error saying the theme cannot be found. Wherein single-worded theme names like `colorscheme Goldfish' is getting set without any problem.
The whole list of themes and how they look is found here: https://daylerees.github.io/
I tried putting Lavender_Contrast, Lavender-Contrast, etc, but it doesn't seem to work.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-12 at 16:08As explained under :help :colorscheme, the argument of :colorscheme is the filename without the extension:
This searches 'runtimepath' for the file "colors/{name}.vim".
so there is no reason whatsoever to try anything else.
In this case, the filename is lavender-contrast.vim so the correct command is:
QUESTION
I'm using Vim compiled with both +python/dyn and +python3/dyn1. I don't use Python2 anymore and never want Vim to use Python2, but it seems to find Python2 before Python3 and uses it instead.
I've read elsewhere that if at the top of my .vimrc I include:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-10 at 08:02Vim's problem with the Python 2.x and 3.x interfaces is that it can only use one or the other:
- the first use of
:pythonprevents further use of:python3, - and the first use of
:python3prevents further use of:python.
has('python3') is supposed to load the 3.x interface as a side effect so the point of the hack is, if done very early in the initialisation process, to make sure the 3.x interface is loaded first. It is essentially the same as doing something like :py3 ...: all it does is make :py unusable.
MacVim is not built with the python or python3 features so has('python') and has('python3') will always return 0.
Instead, you have python_dynamic and python3_dynamic, which can be tested the same way:
QUESTION
How to remove VIM (completely) and change my mac command line editor to sublime?
I've spent the last three hours reading the same links on "how to remove VIM" only to get "how to remove MacVIM and reinstall it fresh" Or "How to remove Vim so I can reinstall it on Ubuntu"
My old laptop was fortunate to have a friend remove it but my new machine still has it installed.
I wish VIM would die in "words redacted to excessive profanity" dumpster fire while a hobo "words redacted to excessive profanity" to put out the fire
I've lost way too many hours trying to learn that outdated neckbeard elvish piece of UX trash so I want it gone. No, I'm not touching emacs.
Please tell me there is a way I can switch to sublime or am I permanently cursed to have this confusing black screen of death pop up when I try to git push or git tag stuff?
My original goal was to tag a git and push it but vim comes up and I can't figure out how to speak elvish.
I've been using PyCharm for a few years and love the interface but I need to dig deeper and a TDD Django book for class uses the terminal, it wants me to git -a "comments" so I need your advice.
So now I can't learn TDD Django because vim, MacVim and eMacs users flood the internet but I can't remove it nor figure out how to work it.
I've tried brew uninstall macvim which doesn't work because I have vim not macvim
I also tried sudo uninstall vim no luck as this is zsh mac not ubuntu
I tried brew uninstall vim to get No available formula or cask with the name "vim"
I've searched SO five times and keep getting the same links.
Alternates I've tried
brew uninstall ruby vim
per this post https://superuser.com/questions/1096438/brew-upgrade-broke-vim-on-os-x-dyld-library-not-loaded I tried, no luck.

Answered 2021-Jun-14 at 21:41You don't have to remove Vim from your machine. Instead, tell your system and your tools to use Sublime Text as default editor. After you have followed that tutorial, which I must point out is part of Sublime Text's documentation, you should have a system-wide subl command that you can use instead of vim. For that, you need to add those lines to your shell configuration file:

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-21 at 19:58:help input() says:
Note: When input() is called from within a mapping it will consume remaining characters from that mapping, because a mapping is handled like the characters were typed.
There is a trailing space on your first line so input() "consumes" it, which makes it the first character of the input text. The solution, here, is simply to remove that trailing space.
The proposed example, with inputsave() and inputrestore(), is a bit over the top for this specific case but it is probably safer to systematically use that pattern.
FWIW, enabling the display of trailing spaces and other special characters is always a good idea: see :help 'list' and :help 'listchars'.
QUESTION
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-17 at 11:59The reason why you are seeing the different color schemes is because the Terminal and MacVim editor each have their own application-specific configurations, which includes the theme. However, it is possible to unify the two applications to share the same Vim settings in a .vimrc file. The default .vimrc that MacVim looks for is located under $HOME/.vimrc, and the same goes for the Terminal’s version of Vim. If you like the dark background that is being used in the Terminal’s Vim, you can set it with:
QUESTION
I closed a vim window completely (something I rarely do) and when I opened it back up my syntax highlighting for jsx files stopped.
I had some other windows open and inside these the syntax highlighting for jsx was still working.
I compared the filetypes in both and could see that the ones that were still working were set to javascript.jsx and the exact same files in my new window had a filetype of javascriptreact.
Then I shut down all windows to see if reloading all would have an effect, and now all my .jsx files come up with filetype of javascriptreact with no proper syntax highlighting (especially jsx parts).
I didn't intentionally change any config options that I'm aware of, and am using vim-jsx plugin.
Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on? I am getting the same behavior in terminal Vim and in MacVim.
It's worth noting that when I manually set the filetype back to javascript.jsx it doesn't have an effect.
Help!

QUESTION
If I attempt to use the Valloric/YouCompleteMe Vim plugin on Mac OS Catalina, am I absolutely required to install MacVim due to the Python 3.6+ requirements?
My issue is that MacVim opens in a separate program and would complicate a basic workflow instead of just using the system Vim.
"In mid 2020, YCM dropped support for Python 3.5 runtime.
Why?
On 13th September 2020, Python 3.5 will be officially end of life. And therefore, so will its relationship with YouCompleteMe and ycmd."
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Sep-28 at 08:22I don't think it's required, it's possible it will work, but there wont be support for new issues. I would recommend trying to meet the requirements.
To address the second issue, macvim can be incorporated into your workflow to work exactly the same as your system vim. Here's a question that can help with that,
QUESTION
As a reluctant Mac user, I am routinely frustrated by things that should be very simple. Finder is one of those. When trying to open an XML file from Firefox, I am asked what application I whish to open it with. Obviously MacVim. To do that, I need to navigate to /usr/local/bin/gvim which is a symlink to /Cellar, since it was installed with HomeBrew. However, when I select "Open with" and click "Choose", the Finder comes up and defaults to Applications. It's not in there, I just want to navigate directly to the symlink. Switching to "Macintosh HD" (also known as "/" to a more refined audience) only displays Application, Library, System, and Users. Where is everything else? Where is /usr, /bin, /etc? As a user, this seems disingenuous. It's not an accurate representation of my location in the filesystem. Sorry, this is a bit of a rant, but also a legitimate question. How do I display these all the time?
