7 *Haiku*
|
|
|
8 This file contains the particularities for the Haiku version of Vim. For
|
|
|
9 matters not discussed in this file, Vim behaves very much like the Unix
|
|
|
10 |os_unix.txt| version.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 Haiku is an open-source operating system inspired by BeOS, that specifically
|
|
|
13 targets personal computing.

|
|
|
32 1. General *haiku-general*
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 The default syntax highlighting mostly works with different foreground colors
|
|
|
35 to highlight items. This works best if you set your Terminal window to a
|
|
|
36 darkish background and light letters. Some middle-grey background (for
|
|
|
37 instance (r,g,b)=(168,168,168)) with black letters also works nicely.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 2. Compiling Vim *haiku-compiling*
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. Running
|
|
|
43 ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=haiku, will compile
|
|
|
44 vim with the Haiku GUI support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other
|
|
|
45 features you can enable/disable.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 Now you should use "make" to compile Vim, then "make install" to install it.
|
|
|
48 For seamless integration into the Haiku the GUI-less vim binary should be
|
|
|
49 additionally installed over the GUI version. Typical build commands are: >
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \
|
|
|
52 --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \
|
|
|
53 --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \
|
|
|
54 make clean
|
|
|
55 make install
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \
|
|
|
58 --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \
|
|
|
59 --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \
|
|
|
60 --disable-gui
|
|
|
61 make clean
|
|
|
62 make install
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 3. The Haiku GUI *haiku-gui*
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 Normally Vim starts with the GUI if you start it as gvim or vim -g. The vim
|
|
|
68 version with GUI tries to determine if it was started from the Tracker instead
|
|
|
69 of the Terminal, and if so, uses the GUI anyway. However, the current detection
|
|
|
70 scheme is fooled if you use the command "vim - </dev/null".
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
72 Stuff that does not work yet:
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 - Mouse up events are not generated when outside the window. This may be a bug in
|
|
|
75 Haiku. You can notice this when selecting text and moving the cursor outside
|
|
|
76 the window, then letting go of the mouse button. Another way is when you
|
|
|
77 drag the scrollbar and do the same thing. Because Vim still thinks you are
|
|
|
78 still playing with the scrollbar it won't change it itself. I provided a
|
|
|
79 workaround which kicks in when the window is activated or deactivated (so it
|
|
|
80 works best with focus- follows-mouse turned on).
|
|
|
81 - The cursor does not flash (very low priority; I'm not sure I even like it
|
|
|
82 when it flashes)
|
|
|
83
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
85 4. The $VIM directory *haiku-vimdir*
|
|
|
86
|
|
|
87 $VIM is the symbolic name for the place where Vims support files are stored.
|
|
|
88 The default value for $VIM is set at compile time and can be determined with >
|
|
|
89
|
|
|
90 :version
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
92 The normal value is /boot/common/data/vim. If you don't like it you can
|
|
|
93 set the VIM environment variable to override this, or set 'helpfile' in your
|
|
|
94 .vimrc: >
|
|
|
95
|
|
|
96 :if version >= 500
|
|
|
97 : set helpfile=~/vim/runtime/doc/help.txt
|
|
|
98 : syntax on
|
|
|
99 :endif
|
|
|
100
|
|
|
101
|
|
|
102 5. The $USER_SETTINGS_DIR directory *haiku-user-settings-dir*
|
|
|
103
|
|
|
104 $USER_SETTINGS_DIR is the symbolic name for the place where Haiku
|
|
|
105 configuration and settings files are stored.
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107 The normal value is /boot/home/config/settings.
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 6. Drag & Drop *haiku-dragndrop*
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 You can drop files and directories on either the Vim icon (starts a new Vim
|
|
|
113 session, unless you use the File Types application to set Vim to be "Single
|
|
|
114 Launch") or on the Vim window (starts editing the files). Dropping a folder
|
|
|
115 sets Vim's current working directory. |:cd| |:pwd| If you drop files or
|
|
|
116 folders with either SHIFT key pressed, Vim changes directory to the folder
|
|
|
117 that contains the first item dropped. When starting Vim, there is no need to
|
|
|
118 press shift: Vim behaves as if you do.
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
120 Files dropped set the current argument list. |argument-list|
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
123 7. Single Launch vs. Multiple Launch *haiku-launch*
|
|
|
124
|
|
|
125 As distributed Vim's Application Flags (as seen in the FileTypes preference)
|
|
|
126 are set to Multiple Launch. If you prefer, you can set them to Single Launch
|
|
|
127 instead. Attempts to start a second copy of Vim will cause the first Vim to
|
|
|
128 open the files instead. This works from the Tracker but also from the command
|
|
|
129 line. In the latter case, non-file (option) arguments are not supported.
|
|
|
130 Another drawback of the Single Launch is silent ignore of "Open With ..."
|
|
|
131 requests by vim instance that running as non-GUI application even GUI support
|
|
|
132 was compiled in. Vim instance running with GUI has no such problems.
|
|
|
133
|
|
|
134 NB: Only the GUI version has a BApplication (and hence Application Flags).
|
|
|
135 This section does not apply to the GUI-less version, should you compile one.
|
|
|
136
|
|
|
137
|
|
|
138 8. Fonts *haiku-fonts*
|
|
|
139
|
|
|
140 Set fonts with >
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142 :set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono/Book/12
|
|
|
143
|
|
|
144 where the first part is the font family, the second part the style, and the
|
|
|
145 third part the size. You can use underscores instead of spaces in family and
|
|
|
146 style.
|
|
|
147
|
|
|
148 Best results are obtained with monospaced fonts. Vim attempts to use all
|
|
|
149 fonts in B_FIXED_SPACING mode but apparently this does not work for
|
|
|
150 proportional fonts (despite what the BeBook says).
|
|
|
151
|
|
|
152 To verify which encodings are supported by the current font give the >
|
|
|
153
|
|
|
154 :digraphs
|
|
|
155
|
|
|
156 command, which lists a bunch of characters with their ISO Latin 1 encoding.
|
|
|
157 If, for instance, there are "box" characters among them, or the last character
|
|
|
158 isn't a dotted-y, then for this font the encoding does not work.
|
|
|
159
|
|
|
160 If the font you specify is unavailable, you get the system fixed font.
|
|
|
161
|
|
|
162 GUI Font Selection Dialog is available at giving the >
|
|
|
163
|
|
|
164 :set guifont=*
|
|
|
165
|
|
|
166 command.
|
|
|
167
|
|
|
168
|
|
|
169 9. The meta key modifier *haiku-meta*
|
|
|
170
|
|
|
171 The META key modifier is obtained by the left or right OPTION keys. This is
|
|
|
172 because the ALT (aka COMMAND) keys are not passed to applications.
|
|
|
173
|
|
|
174
|
|
|
175 10. Mouse key mappings *haiku-mouse*
|
|
|
176
|
|
|
177 Vim calls the various mouse buttons LeftMouse, MiddleMouse and RightMouse. If
|
|
|
178 you use the default Mouse preference settings these names indeed correspond to
|
|
|
179 reality. Vim uses this mapping:
|
|
|
180
|
|
|
181 Button 1 -> LeftMouse,
|
|
|
182 Button 2 -> RightMouse,
|
|
|
183 Button 3 -> MiddleMouse.
|
|
|
184
|
|
|
185 If your mouse has fewer than 3 buttons you can provide your own mapping from
|
|
|
186 mouse clicks with modifier(s) to other mouse buttons. See the file
|
|
|
187 $VIM/macros/swapmous.vim for an example. |gui-mouse-mapping|
|
|
|
188
|
|
|
189
|
|
|
190 11. Color names *haiku-colors*
|
|
|
191
|
|
|
192 Vim has a number of color names built-in. Additional names are read from the
|
|
|
193 file $VIMRUNTIME/rgb.txt, if present. This file is basically the color
|
|
|
194 database from X. Names used from this file are cached for efficiency.
|
|
|
195
|
|
|
196
|
|
|
197 12. GUI Toolbar Images *haiku-toolbar-images*
|
|
|
198
|
|
|
199 Alternative set of toolbar images should be the PNG image of any height you
|
|
|
200 like. Image width is calculated to contain at least 32 buttons in one-row
|
|
|
201 cells.
|
|
|
202 The image should be stored under the name $VIRUNTIME/bitmaps/builtin-tools.png
|
|
|
203 More info about the buttons assignment are at |builtin-tools|.
