21 ============================================================================== | |
22 1. File locations *dos-locations* | |
23 | |
24 If you keep the Vim executable in the directory that contains the help and | |
25 syntax subdirectories, there is no need to do anything special for Vim to | |
26 work. No registry entries or environment variables need to be set. Just make | |
27 sure that the directory is in your search path, or use a shortcut on the | |
28 desktop. | |
29 | |
30 Your vimrc files ("_vimrc" and "_gvimrc") are normally located one directory | |
31 up from the runtime files. If you want to put them somewhere else, set the | |
32 environment variable $VIM to the directory where you keep them. Example: > | |
33 set VIM=C:\user\piet | |
34 Will find "c:\user\piet\_vimrc". | |
35 Note: This would only be needed when the computer is used by several people. | |
36 Otherwise it's simpler to keep your _vimrc file in the default place. | |
37 | |
38 If you move the executable to another location, you also need to set the $VIM | |
39 environment variable. The runtime files will be found in "$VIM/vim{version}". | |
40 Example: > | |
41 set VIM=E:\vim | |
42 Will find the version 5.4 runtime files in "e:\vim\vim54". | |
43 Note: This is _not_ recommended. The preferred way is to keep the executable | |
44 in the runtime directory. | |
45 | |
46 If you move your executable AND want to put your "_vimrc" and "_gvimrc" files | |
47 somewhere else, you must set $VIM to where you vimrc files are, and set | |
48 $VIMRUNTIME to the runtime files. Example: > | |
49 set VIM=C:\usr\piet | |
50 set VIMRUNTIME=E:\vim\vim54 | |
51 Will find "c:\user\piet\_vimrc" and the runtime files in "e:\vim\vim54". | |
52 | |
53 See |$VIM| and |$VIMRUNTIME| for more information. | |
54 | |
55 Under Windows 95, you can set $VIM in your C:\autoexec.bat file. For | |
56 example: > | |
57 set VIM=D:\vim | |
58 Under Windows NT, you can set environment variables for each user separately | |
59 under "Start/Settings/Control Panel->System", or through the properties in the | |
60 menu of "My Computer", under the Environment Tab. | |
61 | |
62 ============================================================================== | |
63 2. Using backslashes *dos-backslash* | |
64 | |
65 Using backslashes in file names can be a problem. Vi halves the number of | |
66 backslashes for some commands. Vim is a bit more tolerant and does not remove | |
67 backslashes from a file name, so ":e c:\foo\bar" works as expected. But when | |
68 a backslash occurs before a special character (space, comma, backslash, etc.), | |
69 Vim removes the backslash. Use slashes to avoid problems: ":e c:/foo/bar" | |
70 works fine. Vim replaces the slashes with backslashes internally to avoid | |
71 problems with some MS-DOS programs and Win32 programs. | |
72 | |
73 When you prefer to use forward slashes, set the 'shellslash' option. Vim will | |
74 then replace backslashes with forward slashes when expanding file names. This | |
75 is especially useful when using a Unix-like 'shell'. | |
76 | |
77 ============================================================================== | |
78 3. Standard mappings *dos-standard-mappings* | |
79 | |
819 | 80 The mappings for CTRL-PageUp and CTRL-PageDown have been removed, they now |
81 jump to the next or previous tab page |<C-PageUp>| |<C-PageDown>| | |
7 | 82 |
819 | 83 If you want them to move to the first and last screen line you can use these |
84 mappings: | |
7 | 85 |
86 key key code Normal/Visual mode Insert mode ~ | |
87 CTRL-PageUp <M-N><M-C-D> H <C-O>H | |
88 CTRL-PageDown <M-N>v L$ <C-O>L<C-O>$ | |
89 | |
90 Additionally, these keys are available for copy/cut/paste. In the Win32 | |
91 and DJGPP versions, they also use the clipboard. | |
92 | |
93 Shift-Insert paste text (from clipboard) *<S-Insert>* | |
94 CTRL-Insert copy Visual text (to clipboard) *<C-Insert>* | |
95 CTRL-Del cut Visual text (to clipboard) *<C-Del>* | |
96 Shift-Del cut Visual text (to clipboard) *<S-Del>* | |

99 These mappings accomplish this (Win32 and DJGPP versions of Vim): | |
100 | |
101 key key code Normal Visual Insert ~ | |
102 Shift-Insert <M-N><M-T> "*P "-d"*P <C-R><C-O>* | |
103 CTRL-Insert <M-N><M-U> "*y | |
104 Shift-Del <M-N><M-W> "*d | |
105 CTRL-Del <M-N><M-X> "*d | |

106 CTRL-X <C-X> "*d |
7 | 107 |
108 Or these mappings (non-Win32 version of Vim): | |
109 | |
110 key key code Normal Visual Insert ~ | |
111 Shift-Insert <M-N><M-T> P "-dP <C-R><C-O>" | |
112 CTRL-Insert <M-N><M-U> y | |
113 Shift-Del <M-N><M-W> d | |
114 CTRL-Del <M-N><M-X> d | |
115 | |
116 When the clipboard is supported, the "* register is used. | |
117 | |
118 ============================================================================== | |
119 4. Screen output and colors *dos-colors* | |
120 | |
121 The default output method for the screen is to use bios calls. This works | |
122 right away on most systems. You do not need ansi.sys. You can use ":mode" to | |
123 set the current screen mode. See |:mode|. | |
124 | |
125 To change the screen colors that Vim uses, you can use the |:highlight| | |
126 command. The Normal highlight group specifies the colors Vim uses for normal | |
127 text. For example, to get grey text on a blue background: > | |
128 :hi Normal ctermbg=Blue ctermfg=grey | |
129 See |highlight-groups| for other groups that are available. | |
130 | |
131 A DOS console does not support attributes like bold and underlining. You can | |
667 | 132 set the color used in five modes with nine terminal options. Note that this |
133 is not necessary since you can set the color directly with the ":highlight" | |
7 | 134 command; these options are for backward compatibility with older Vim versions. |
135 The |'highlight'| option specifies which of the five modes is used for which | |
136 action. > | |
137 | |
138 :set t_mr=^V^[\|xxm start of invert mode | |
139 :set t_md=^V^[\|xxm start of bold mode | |
140 :set t_me=^V^[\|xxm back to normal text | |
141 | |
142 :set t_so=^V^[\|xxm start of standout mode | |
143 :set t_se=^V^[\|xxm back to normal text | |
144 | |
145 :set t_us=^V^[\|xxm start of underline mode | |
146 :set t_ue=^V^[\|xxm back to normal text | |
147 | |
148 :set t_ZH=^V^[\|xxm start of italics mode | |
149 :set t_ZR=^V^[\|xxm back to normal text | |
150 | |
151 ^V is CTRL-V | |
152 ^[ is <Esc> | |
153 You must replace xx with a decimal code, which is the foreground color number | |
154 and background color number added together: | |
155 | |
156 COLOR FOREGROUND BACKGROUND ~ | |
157 Black 0 0 | |
158 DarkBlue 1 16 | |
159 DarkGreen 2 32 | |
160 DarkCyan 3 48 | |
161 DarkRed 4 64 | |
162 DarkMagenta 5 80 | |
163 Brown, DarkYellow 6 96 | |
164 LightGray 7 112 | |
165 DarkGray 8 128 * | |
166 Blue, LightBlue 9 144 * | |
167 Green, LightGreen 10 160 * | |
168 Cyan, LightCyan 11 176 * | |
169 Red, LightRed 12 192 * | |
170 Magenta, LightMagenta 13 208 * | |
171 Yellow, LightYellow 14 224 * | |
172 White 15 240 * | |
173 | |
174 * Depending on the display mode, the color codes above 128 may not be | |
175 available, and code 128 will make the text blink. | |
176 | |
177 When you use 0, the color is reset to the one used when you started Vim | |
178 (usually 7, lightgray on black, but you can override this. If you have | |
179 overridden the default colors in a command prompt, you may need to adjust | |
180 some of the highlight colors in your vimrc---see below). | |
181 This is the default for t_me. | |
182 | |
183 The defaults for the various highlight modes are: | |
184 t_mr 112 reverse mode: Black text (0) on LightGray (112) | |
185 t_md 15 bold mode: White text (15) on Black (0) | |
186 t_me 0 normal mode (revert to default) | |
187 | |
188 t_so 31 standout mode: White (15) text on DarkBlue (16) | |
189 t_se 0 standout mode end (revert to default) | |
190 | |
191 t_czh 225 italic mode: DarkBlue text (1) on Yellow (224) | |
192 t_czr 0 italic mode end (revert to default) | |
193 | |
194 t_us 67 underline mode: DarkCyan text (3) on DarkRed (64) | |
195 t_ue 0 underline mode end (revert to default) | |
196 | |
197 These colors were chosen because they also look good when using an inverted | |
198 display, but you can change them to your liking. | |
199 | |
200 Example: > | |
201 :set t_mr=^V^[\|97m " start of invert mode: DarkBlue (1) on Brown (96) | |
202 :set t_md=^V^[\|67m " start of bold mode: DarkCyan (3) on DarkRed (64) | |
203 :set t_me=^V^[\|112m " back to normal mode: Black (0) on LightGray (112) | |
204 | |
205 :set t_so=^V^[\|37m " start of standout mode: DarkMagenta (5) on DarkGreen | |
206 (32) | |
207 :set t_se=^V^[\|112m " back to normal mode: Black (0) on LightGray (112) | |
208 | |
209 ============================================================================== | |
210 5. File formats *dos-file-formats* | |
211 | |
212 If the 'fileformat' option is set to "dos" (which is the default), Vim accepts | |
213 a single <NL> or a <CR><NL> pair for end-of-line (<EOL>). When writing a | |
214 file, Vim uses <CR><NL>. Thus, if you edit a file and write it, Vim replaces | |
215 <NL> with <CR><NL>. | |
216 | |
217 If the 'fileformat' option is set to "unix", Vim uses a single <NL> for <EOL> | |
218 and shows <CR> as ^M. | |
219 | |
220 You can use Vim to replace <NL> with <CR><NL> by reading in any mode and | |
221 writing in Dos mode (":se ff=dos"). | |
222 You can use Vim to replace <CR><NL> with <NL> by reading in Dos mode and | |
223 writing in Unix mode (":se ff=unix"). | |
224 | |
225 Vim sets 'fileformat' automatically when 'fileformats' is not empty (which is | |
226 the default), so you don't really have to worry about what you are doing. | |
227 |'fileformat'| |'fileformats'| | |
228 | |
229 If you want to edit a script file or a binary file, you should set the | |
230 'binary' option before loading the file. Script files and binary files may | |
231 contain single <NL> characters which Vim would replace with <CR><NL>. You can | |
232 set 'binary' automatically by starting Vim with the "-b" (binary) option. | |
233 | |
234 ============================================================================== | |
235 6. :cd command *dos-:cd* | |
236 | |
237 The ":cd" command recognizes the drive specifier and changes the current | |
238 drive. Use ":cd c:" to make drive C the active drive. Use ":cd d:\foo" to go | |
239 to the directory "foo" in the root of drive D. Vim also recognizes UNC names | |
240 if the system supports them; e.g., ":cd \\server\share\dir". |:cd| | |
241 | |
242 ============================================================================== | |
243 7. Interrupting *dos-CTRL-Break* | |
244 | |
245 Use CTRL-Break instead of CTRL-C to interrupt searches. Vim does not detect | |
246 the CTRL-C until it tries to read a key. | |
247 | |
248 ============================================================================== | |
249 8. Temp files *dos-temp-files* | |
250 | |
251 Only for the 16 bit and 32 bit DOS version: | |
252 Vim puts temporary files (for filtering) in the first of these directories | |
253 that exists and in which Vim can create a file: | |
254 $TMP | |
255 $TEMP | |
256 C:\TMP | |
257 C:\TEMP | |
258 current directory | |
259 | |
260 For the Win32 version (both console and GUI): | |
261 Vim uses standard Windows functions to obtain a temporary file name (for | |
262 filtering). The first of these directories that exists and in which Vim can | |
263 create a file is used: | |
264 $TMP | |
265 $TEMP | |
266 current directory | |
267 | |
268 ============================================================================== | |
269 9. Shell option default *dos-shell* | |
270 | |
271 The default for the 'sh' ('shell') option is "command.com" on Windows 95 and | |
272 "cmd.exe" on Windows NT. If SHELL is defined, Vim uses SHELL instead, and if | |
273 SHELL is not defined but COMSPEC is, Vim uses COMSPEC. Vim starts external | |
274 commands with "<shell> /c <command_name>". Typing CTRL-Z starts a new command | |
275 subshell. Return to Vim with "exit". |'shell'| |CTRL-Z| | |
276 | |
277 If you are running a third-party shell, you may need to set the | |
278 |'shellcmdflag'| ('shcf') and |'shellquote'| ('shq') or |'shellxquote'| | |
279 ('sxq') options. Unfortunately, this also depends on the version of Vim used. | |
280 For example, with the MKS Korn shell or with bash, the values of the options | |
281 should be: | |
282 | |
283 DOS 16 bit DOS 32 bit Win32 ~ | |
284 'shellcmdflag' -c -c -c | |
285 'shellquote' " | |
286 'shellxquote' " | |
287 | |
288 For Dos 16 bit this starts the shell as: | |
289 <shell> -c "command name" >file | |
290 For Win32 as: | |
291 <shell> -c "command name >file" | |
292 For DOS 32 bit, DJGPP does this internally somehow. | |
293 | |
294 When starting up, Vim checks for the presence of "sh" anywhere in the 'shell' | |
295 option. If it is present, Vim sets the 'shellcmdflag' and 'shellquote' or | |
296 'shellxquote' options will be set as described above. | |
297 | |
