4 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
8 This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim.
10 Installation on the Amiga:
11 - Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will
12 look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command).
13 Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around:
14 when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used.
15 - With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been
16 compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are
17 in "C:" (for executing external commands).
18 - Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk
19 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for
20 executing external commands).
22 If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and
23 csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
24 "rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez
27 If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without
28 the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can
29 recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x.
30 See the makefiles and feature.h.
32 If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes:
33 t_mr (for inverted text)
35 t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md)
36 t_so (for standout mode)
37 t_se (for normal text after t_so)
38 t_us (for underlined text)
39 t_ue (for normal text after t_us)
40 t_ZH (for italic text)
41 t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH)
43 Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are:
44 30 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off
45 31 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface
46 32 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint
47 33 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic
48 34 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore
49 35 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video
50 36 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible
51 37 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background
53 The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be
54 the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For
55 example to get white text on a blue background:
56 > :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
57 > :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
58 > :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
59 > :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
60 > :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m
61 > :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m
62 > :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m
63 > :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m
64 > :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m
66 When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g.
67 > :r! echo this; echo that
68 Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the
69 commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done
70 automatically in Vim). Examples:
71 > :r! (echo this; echo that)
72 > :r! {echo this; echo that}
74 Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file
75 name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded
76 spaces need to be escaped with a backslash.
