Last change: 2010 Aug 14 + + + VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar + + + *Amiga* +This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim. +There is also a section specifically for |MorphOS| below. + +NOTE: The Amiga code is still included, but has not been maintained or tested. + +Installation on the Amiga: +- Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will + look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command). + Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around: + when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used. +- With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been + compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are + in "C:" (for executing external commands). +- Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk + 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for + executing external commands). + +If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and +csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put +"rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez +version 0.5. + +If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without +the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can +recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x. +See the makefiles and feature.h. + +If you notice Vim crashes on some files when syntax highlighting is on, or +when using a search pattern with nested wildcards, it might be that the stack +is too small. Try increasing the stack size. In a shell use the Stack +command before launching Vim. On the Workbench, select the Vim icon, use the +workbench "Info" menu and change the Stack field in the form. + +If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes: + t_mr (for inverted text) + t_md (for bold text) + t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md) + t_so (for standout mode) + t_se (for normal text after t_so) + t_us (for underlined text) + t_ue (for normal text after t_us) + t_ZH (for italic text) + t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH) + +Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are: +30 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off +31 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface +32 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint +33 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic +34 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore +35 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video +36 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible +37 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background + +The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be +the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For +example to get white text on a blue background: > + :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m + :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m + :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m + :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m + :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m + :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m + :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m + :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m + :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m + +When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g. > + :r! echo this; echo that +Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the +commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done +automatically in Vim). Examples: > + :r! (echo this; echo that) + :r! {echo this; echo that} + +Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file +name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded +spaces need to be escaped with a backslash. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Vim for MorphOS *MorphOS* + +[this section mostly by Ali Akcaagac] + +For the latest info about the MorphOS version: + http://www.akcaagac.com/index_vim.html + + +Problems ~ + +There are a couple of problems which are not MorphOS related but more Vim and +UN*X related. When starting up Vim in ram: it complains with a nag requester +from MorphOS please simply ignore it. Another problem is when running Vim as +is some plugins will cause a few problems which you can ignore as well. +Hopefully someone will be fixing it over the time. + +To pass all these problems for now you can either run: + + vim <file to be edited> + +or if you want to run Vim plain and enjoy the motion of Helpfiles etc. it then +would be better to enter: + + vim --noplugins <of course you can add a file> + + +Installation ~ + +1) Please copy the binary 'VIM' file to c: +2) Get the Vim runtime package from: + + ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/amiga/vim62rt.tgz + + and unpack it in your 'Apps' directory of the MorphOS installation. For me + this would create following directory hierarchy: + + MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62/... + +3) Add the following lines to your s:shell-startup (Important!). + + ;Begin VIM + Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 + Assign HOME: "" + ;End VIM + +4) Copy the '.vimrc' file to s: + +5) There is also a file named 'color-sequence' included in this archive. This + will set the MorphOS Shell to show ANSI colors. Please copy the file to s: + and change the s:shell-startup to: + + ;Begin VIM + Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 + Assign HOME: "" + Execute S:Color-Sequence + Cls + ;End VIM + + + vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: |
