Last change: 2022 Nov 25 + + + 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 instead of "s:.vimrc" and +"s:.exrc". 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. +(For forking of the GUI version see |gui-fork|.) + +For historic reasons terminal updating under Unix is expected to be slow (e.g. +serial line terminal, shell window in suntools), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' +options are off by default. If you have a fast terminal, try setting them +on: > + set showcmd ruler + +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|. Visual feedback while dragging +can also be achieved via the 'ttymouse' option if your xterm is new enough. + + *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 , type CTRL-V 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. + + vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl: -- cgit v1.2.3
