" Wishes http://www.vim.org/wish.html | Additions&Corrections welcome! " =================================================================== " Note to Windows users: Get these files from any Vim mirror: " vim52rt.zip (840K) " gvimw32.zip (440K) " These should fit onto one floppy. Just a recommendation. " =================================================================== " Installation of this setup file: " " To use this setup file, copy it to " this filename on these systems: " ~/.vimrc Unix and OS/2 " s:.vimrc Amiga " $VIM\_vimrc MS-DOS and Win32 " " NOTE: This setup file uses a lot of features of Vim-5. " If you are still using Vim-4 (or an even older version) " then you should upgrade - it is really worth the effort! " To find out why get Vim-5 and read ":help version5". " " The first line of this setup file contains the information " "version xxx" which allows VIM to check whether the setup file " fits the syntax that it understands. " Versions of VIM other than of version 5 then will give a warning " as they do not understand this setup file command - a feature: " Give a warning so the user knows that there is something odd " about the setup file. " =================================================================== " Whitespace meta sequence: " vim-5.0s introduced the meta sequence "\s" which stands for "whitespace" " ie either a space or a tab. This makes mappings a lot easier. " I have therefore updated my mappings to use this sequence. " But this is incompatible with previous versions and, of course, Vi. " =================================================================== " Info on the latest versions is on the Vim HomePage: " http://www.vim.org/ - which is a daily mirror of the pages at " http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/vim/ " and in Sven's signature file: " http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/sig/SIGS " =================================================================== " =================================================================== " Structure of this file: " Lines starting with an inverted comma (") are comments. " Some mappings are commented out. Remove the comment to enable them. " " There are three kinds of things which are defined in this file: " Mapping ("map"), settings ("set"), and abbreviations ("ab"). " Settings affect the behaviour of commands. " Mappings maps a key sequence to a command. " Abbreviations define words which are replaced " right *after* they are typed in. " " =================================================================== " Note on mappings - "angle notation" (see ":help <>"): " VIM allows you to define mappings with special characters " with a notation that uses non-special characters: " The notation encloses decriptive words in angle brackets (<>). " The characters you will most often are: " for control-m " for control-v which quotes the following character " for the escape character. " All control characters have been replaced to use the angle notation " so you should be able to read this file without problems. " (Well, sometimes I leave some tabs [control-i] in the file. ;-) " =================================================================== " External programs: " Some mappings make use of external programs. " The following you should find on every UNIX system: " awk, egrep, grep, ispell, perl, sed. " If you are using DOS then you should get these for you system!! " Programs that are supplied with the mailer ELM: elmalias, readmsg. " To get these look at page " http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/elm/dist.html " One major advantage of vim-5 (actually, 5.0g) is that there is now " the internal function "strftime".
