32 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
33 .B Vim
|
|
|
34 is a text editor that is upwards compatible to Vi.
|
|
|
35 It can be used to edit all kinds of plain text.
|
|
|
36 It is especially useful for editing programs.
|
|
|
37 .PP
|
|
|
38 There are a lot of enhancements above Vi: multi level undo,
|
|
|
39 multi windows and buffers, syntax highlighting, command line
|
|
|
40 editing, filename completion, on-line help, visual selection, etc..
|
|
|
41 See ":help vi_diff.txt" for a summary of the differences between
|
|
|
42 .B Vim
|
|
|
43 and Vi.
|
|
|
44 .PP
|
|
|
45 While running
|
|
|
46 .B Vim
|
|
|
47 a lot of help can be obtained from the on-line help system, with the ":help"
|
|
|
48 command.
|
|
|
49 See the ON-LINE HELP section below.
|
|
|
50 .PP
|
|
|
51 Most often
|
|
|
52 .B Vim
|
|
|
53 is started to edit a single file with the command
|
|
|
54 .PP
|
|
|
55 vim file
|
|
|
56 .PP
|
|
|
57 More generally
|
|
|
58 .B Vim
|
|
|
59 is started with:
|
|
|
60 .PP
|
|
|
61 vim [options] [filelist]
|
|
|
62 .PP
|
|
|
63 If the filelist is missing, the editor will start with an empty buffer.
|
|
|
64 Otherwise exactly one out of the following four may be used to choose one or
|
|
|
65 more files to be edited.
|
|
|
66 .TP 12
|
|
|
67 file ..
|
|
|
68 A list of filenames.
|
|
|
69 The first one will be the current file and read into the buffer.
|
|
|
70 The cursor will be positioned on the first line of the buffer.
|
|
|
71 You can get to the other files with the ":next" command.
|
|
216
|
72 To edit a file that starts with a dash, precede the filelist with "\-\-".
|
|
7
|
73 .TP
|
|
216
|
74 \-
|
|
7
|
75 The file to edit is read from stdin. Commands are read from stderr, which
|
|
|
76 should be a tty.
|
|
|
77 .TP
|
|
216
|
78 \-t {tag}
|
|
7
|
79 The file to edit and the initial cursor position depends on a "tag", a sort
|
|
|
80 of goto label.
|
|
|
81 {tag} is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the current
|
|
|
82 file and the associated command is executed.
|
|
|
83 Mostly this is used for C programs, in which case {tag} could be a function
|
|
|
84 name.
|
|
|
85 The effect is that the file containing that function becomes the current file
|
|
|
86 and the cursor is positioned on the start of the function.
|
|
|
87 See ":help tag-commands".
|
|
|
88 .TP
|
|
216
|
89 \-q [errorfile]
|
|
7
|
90 Start in quickFix mode.
|
|
|
91 The file [errorfile] is read and the first error is displayed.
|
|
|
92 If [errorfile] is omitted, the filename is obtained from the 'errorfile'
|
|
|
93 option (defaults to "AztecC.Err" for the Amiga, "errors.err" on other
|
|
|
94 systems).
|
|
|
95 Further errors can be jumped to with the ":cn" command.
|
|
|
96 See ":help quickfix".
|
|
|
97 .PP
|
|
|
98 .B Vim
|
|
|
99 behaves differently, depending on the name of the command (the executable may
|
|
|
100 still be the same file).
|
|
|
101 .TP 10
|
|
|
102 vim
|
|
|
103 The "normal" way, everything is default.
|
|
|
104 .TP
|
|
|
105 ex
|
|
|
106 Start in Ex mode.
|
|
|
107 Go to Normal mode with the ":vi" command.
|
|
216
|
108 Can also be done with the "\-e" argument.
|
|
7
|
109 .TP
|
|
|
110 view
|
|
|
111 Start in read-only mode. You will be protected from writing the files. Can
|
|
216
|
112 also be done with the "\-R" argument.
|
|
7
|
113 .TP
|
|
|
114 gvim gview
|
|
|
115 The GUI version.
|
|
|
116 Starts a new window.
|
|
216
|
117 Can also be done with the "\-g" argument.
|
|
7
|
118 .TP
|
|
|
119 evim eview
|
|
|
120 The GUI version in easy mode.
|
|
|
121 Starts a new window.
|
|
216
|
122 Can also be done with the "\-y" argument.
|
|
7
|
123 .TP
|
|
|
124 rvim rview rgvim rgview
|
|
|
125 Like the above, but with restrictions. It will not be possible to start shell
|
|
|
126 commands, or suspend
|
|
|
127 .B Vim.
|
|
216
|
128 Can also be done with the "\-Z" argument.
|
|
7
|
129 .SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
130 The options may be given in any order, before or after filenames.
|
|
|
131 Options without an argument can be combined after a single dash.
|
|
|
132 .TP 12
|
|
|
133 +[num]
|
|
|
134 For the first file the cursor will be positioned on line "num".
|
|
|
135 If "num" is missing, the cursor will be positioned on the last line.
|
|
|
136 .TP
|
|
|
137 +/{pat}
|
|
|
138 For the first file the cursor will be positioned on the
|
|
|
139 first occurrence of {pat}.
|
|
|
140 See ":help search-pattern" for the available search patterns.
|
|
|
141 .TP
|
|
|
142 +{command}
|
|
|
143 .TP
|
|
216
|
144 \-c {command}
|
|
7
|
145 {command} will be executed after the
|
|
|
146 first file has been read.
|
|
|
147 {command} is interpreted as an Ex command.
|
|
|
148 If the {command} contains spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes (this
|
|
|
149 depends on the shell that is used).
|
|
|
150 Example: Vim "+set si" main.c
|
|
|
151 .br
|
|
216
|
152 Note: You can use up to 10 "+" or "\-c" commands.
|
|
7
|
153 .TP
|
|
216
|
154 \-S {file}
|
|
7
|
155 {file} will be sourced after the first file has been read.
|
|
216
|
156 This is equivalent to \-c "source {file}".
|
|
|
157 {file} cannot start with '\-'.
|
|
|
158 If {file} is omitted "Session.vim" is used (only works when \-S is the last
|
|
7
|
159 argument).
|
|
|
160 .TP
|
|
216
|
161 \-\-cmd {command}
|
|
|
162 Like using "\-c", but the command is executed just before
|
|
7
|
163 processing any vimrc file.
|
|
216
|
164 You can use up to 10 of these commands, independently from "\-c" commands.
|
|
7

165 .TP

166 \-A

169 has been compiled with ARABIC support for editing right-to-left
|
|
|
170 oriented files and Arabic keyboard mapping, this option starts
|
|
|
171 .B Vim
|
|
|
172 in Arabic mode, i.e. 'arabic' is set. Otherwise an error
|
|
|
173 message is given and
|
|
|
174 .B Vim
|

175 aborts.

216

178 Binary mode.

216

182 \-C

183 Compatible. Set the 'compatible' option.
|
|
|
184 This will make

185 .B Vim
|
|
|
186 behave mostly like Vi, even though a .vimrc file exists.

188 \-d

7

189 Start in diff mode.
|

|
190 There should be two or three file name arguments.
|
|
|
191 .B Vim
|
|
|
192 will open all the files and show differences between them.
|

193 Works like vimdiff(1).

222 This option should be used when

224 is executed by a program that will wait for the edit

544 Note that a number of things that may be regarded as bugs by some, are in fact
|
|
|
545 caused by a too-faithful reproduction of Vi's behaviour.
|
|
|
546 And if you think other things are bugs "because Vi does it differently",
|
|
|
547 you should take a closer look at the vi_diff.txt file (or type :help
|
|
|
548 vi_diff.txt when in Vim).
|
|
|
549 Also have a look at the 'compatible' and 'cpoptions' options.
