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, filename completion, block operations, etc. There is also a
|
|
Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. See doc/vi_diff.txt.
|
|
|
|
This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII 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 currently runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/NT, Atari MiNT,
|
|
Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of UNIX.
|
|
Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.
