| 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. | |

| 16 2. Compiling Vim |haiku-compiling| | |
| 17 3. The Haiku GUI |haiku-gui| | |
| 18 4. The $VIM directory |haiku-vimdir| | |
| 19721 | 19 5. The $USER_SETTINGS_DIR |

| 32 | |
| 33 1. General *haiku-general* | |
| 34 | |
| 35 The default syntax highlighting mostly works with different foreground colors | |
| 36 to highlight items. This works best if you set your Terminal window to a | |
| 37 darkish background and light letters. Some middle-grey background (for | |
| 38 instance (r,g,b)=(168,168,168)) with black letters also works nicely. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 | |
| 41 2. Compiling Vim *haiku-compiling* | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. Running | |
| 44 ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=haiku, will compile | |
| 45 vim with the Haiku GUI support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other | |
| 46 features you can enable/disable. | |
| 47 | |
| 19721 | 48 Haiku uses "ncurses6" as its terminal library, therefore you need to have |
| 49 "ncurses6_devel" package installed from HaikuDepot in order to configure | |

50 the Haiku build. Just append "--with-tlib=ncurses6" to ./configure command |
| 19721 | 51 |
| 19526 | 52 Now you should use "make" to compile Vim, then "make install" to install it. |
| 19721 | 53 For seamless integration into Haiku, the GUI-less vim binary should be |

54 additionally installed over the GUI version. Typical build commands are: |
| 19526 | 55 |
| 56 ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \ | |
| 57 --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \ | |
| 58 --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \ | |
| 59 make clean | |
| 60 make install | |
| 61 | |
| 62 ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \ | |
| 63 --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \ | |
| 64 --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \ | |
| 65 --disable-gui | |
| 66 make clean | |
| 67 make install | |
| 68 | |
| 69 | |
| 70 3. The Haiku GUI *haiku-gui* | |
| 71 | |
| 72 Normally Vim starts with the GUI if you start it as gvim or vim -g. The vim | |
| 73 version with GUI tries to determine if it was started from the Tracker instead | |

92 The default value for $VIM is set at compile time and can be determined with: |
| 19526 | 93 |
| 94 :version | |
| 95 | |
| 19721 | 96 The normal value is /boot/system/data/vim for Haikuports version, |
| 97 /boot/system/non-packaged/data/vim for manual builds. If you don't like it | |
| 98 you can set the VIM environment variable to override this, or set 'helpfile' | |
| 99 in your .vimrc: > | |
| 19526 | 100 |
| 101 :if version >= 500 | |
| 102 : set helpfile=~/vim/runtime/doc/help.txt | |
| 103 : syntax on | |
| 104 :endif | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | |
| 107 5. The $USER_SETTINGS_DIR directory *haiku-user-settings-dir* | |
| 108 | |
| 109 $USER_SETTINGS_DIR is the symbolic name for the place where Haiku | |
| 110 configuration and settings files are stored. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 The normal value is /boot/home/config/settings. | |
| 113 | |
| 114 | |
| 115 6. Drag & Drop *haiku-dragndrop* | |
| 116 | |
| 117 You can drop files and directories on either the Vim icon (starts a new Vim | |
| 118 session, unless you use the File Types application to set Vim to be "Single | |
| 119 Launch") or on the Vim window (starts editing the files). Dropping a folder | |

120 sets Vim's current working directory |:cd| |:pwd|. If you drop files or |
| 19526 | 121 folders with either SHIFT key pressed, Vim changes directory to the folder |
| 122 that contains the first item dropped. When starting Vim, there is no need to | |
| 123 press shift: Vim behaves as if you do. | |
| 124 | |
| 125 Files dropped set the current argument list. |argument-list| | |
| 126 | |
| 127 | |
| 128 7. Single Launch vs. Multiple Launch *haiku-launch* | |
| 129 | |
| 130 As distributed Vim's Application Flags (as seen in the FileTypes preference) | |
| 131 are set to Multiple Launch. If you prefer, you can set them to Single Launch | |
| 132 instead. Attempts to start a second copy of Vim will cause the first Vim to | |
| 133 open the files instead. This works from the Tracker but also from the command | |
| 134 line. In the latter case, non-file (option) arguments are not supported. | |
| 135 Another drawback of the Single Launch is silent ignore of "Open With ..." | |
| 136 requests by vim instance that running as non-GUI application even GUI support | |
| 137 was compiled in. Vim instance running with GUI has no such problems. | |
| 138 | |
| 139 NB: Only the GUI version has a BApplication (and hence Application Flags). | |
| 140 This section does not apply to the GUI-less version, should you compile one. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 | |
| 143 8. Fonts *haiku-fonts* | |
| 144 | |
| 145 Set fonts with > | |
| 146 | |
| 147 :set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono/Book/12 | |
| 148 | |
| 149 where the first part is the font family, the second part the style, and the | |
| 150 third part the size. You can use underscores instead of spaces in family and | |
| 151 style. | |
| 152 | |
| 153 Best results are obtained with monospaced fonts. Vim attempts to use all | |
| 154 fonts in B_FIXED_SPACING mode but apparently this does not work for | |
| 155 proportional fonts (despite what the BeBook says). | |
| 156 | |
| 157 To verify which encodings are supported by the current font give the > | |
| 158 | |
| 159 :digraphs | |
| 160 | |
| 161 command, which lists a bunch of characters with their ISO Latin 1 encoding. | |
| 162 If, for instance, there are "box" characters among them, or the last character | |
| 163 isn't a dotted-y, then for this font the encoding does not work. | |
| 164 | |
| 165 If the font you specify is unavailable, you get the system fixed font. | |
| 166 | |

167 GUI Font Selection Dialog is available at giving the: |
| 19526 | 168 |
| 169 :set guifont=* | |
| 170 | |
| 171 command. | |
| 172 | |
| 173 | |
| 174 9. The meta key modifier *haiku-meta* | |
| 175 | |
| 176 The META key modifier is obtained by the left or right OPTION keys. This is | |
| 177 because the ALT (aka COMMAND) keys are not passed to applications. | |
| 178 | |
| 179 | |
| 180 10. Mouse key mappings *haiku-mouse* | |
| 181 | |
| 182 Vim calls the various mouse buttons LeftMouse, MiddleMouse and RightMouse. If | |
| 183 you use the default Mouse preference settings these names indeed correspond to | |
| 184 reality. Vim uses this mapping: | |
| 185 | |
| 186 Button 1 -> LeftMouse, | |
| 187 Button 2 -> RightMouse, | |
| 188 Button 3 -> MiddleMouse. | |
| 189 | |
| 190 If your mouse has fewer than 3 buttons you can provide your own mapping from | |
| 191 mouse clicks with modifier(s) to other mouse buttons. See the file | |
| 192 $VIM/macros/swapmous.vim for an example. |gui-mouse-mapping| | |
| 193 | |
| 194 | |
| 195 11. Color names *haiku-colors* | |
| 196 | |
| 197 Vim has a number of color names built-in. Additional names are read from the | |
| 198 file $VIMRUNTIME/rgb.txt, if present. This file is basically the color | |
| 199 database from X. Names used from this file are cached for efficiency. | |
| 200 | |
| 201 | |
| 202 12. GUI Toolbar Images *haiku-toolbar-images* | |
| 203 | |
| 204 Alternative set of toolbar images should be the PNG image of any height you | |
| 205 like. Image width is calculated to contain at least 32 buttons in one-row | |
| 206 cells. | |
| 207 The image should be stored under the name $VIRUNTIME/bitmaps/builtin-tools.png | |
| 208 More info about the buttons assignment are at |builtin-tools|. | |
