(I.e. syntax highlighting, auto-indent, text wrapping, smart-tabs, tab expansion, etc. *off* by default, I have to enable all the fancy I really want in my $HOME/.vimrc). It's vim as it's distributed on some Linux distributions that sucks rocks through tiny holes. >Yes, all those >defaults can be changed, but on the machine I was fighting with >at the time, they were in some very inappropriate for my needs, and >quite unexpected behavior for something I invoked with the command >"vi". I won't dispute vim is a great editor...I just dislike it >pretending to be vi on some distributions of another OS. In all >likelihood, it COULD pass as vi, but not with all the options >turned on. Yes. Probably it works for me especially because I mostly use it on OpenBSD. :-) >Nick. Kind regards, Hannah. Prev-Msg Prev-Thread Openbsd-misc May-2008 Next-Thread Next-Msg
