runtime(doc): link cmdline completion to to |wildcards| and fix typos (#13636)

runtime(doc): link cmdline completion to to |wildcards| and fix typos (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/13636)
The docs for cmdline completion doesn't mention that [abc] is considered
a wildcard, and |wildcards| contains more detailed information, so just
link to it.
Also fix some typos in other help files.

| 26 | |
| 5340 | 27 Vim (Vi IMproved) is a Vi-compatible text editor that runs on nearly every |
| 7 | 28 operating system known to humanity. Now use Vim on OpenVMS too, in character |
| 29 or X/Motif environment. It is fully featured and absolutely compatible with | |
| 30 Vim on other operating systems. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ============================================================================== | |

78 If your system does not have some include libraries you can tune in the |
| 236 | 79 OS_VMS_CONF.H file. |
| 7 | 80 |
| 81 If you decided to build Vim with +perl, +python, etc. options, first you need | |
| 236 | 82 to download OpenVMS distributions of Perl and Python. Build and deploy the |
| 83 libraries and change adequate lines in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. There should not be | |
| 84 a problem from Vim side. | |
| 7 | 85 |
| 412 | 86 Also GTK, XPM library paths should be configured in MAKE_VMS.MMS |
| 87 | |
| 236 | 88 Note: Under VAX it should work with the DEC C compiler without problems. The |
| 89 VAX C compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives | |
| 3082 | 90 semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program that will do the lion |
| 236 | 91 part of the job. For detailed instructions read file INSTALLvms.txt |

| 102 It is possible to compile with +xfontset +xim options too, but then you have | |
| 236 | 103 to set up GUI fonts etc. correctly. See :help xim from Vim command prompt. |
| 7 | 104 |
| 105 You may want to use GUI with GTK icons, then you have to download and install | |
| 106 GTK for OpenVMS or at least runtime shareable images - LIBGTK from | |
| 107 polarhome.com | |
| 15640 | 108 Post 7.2 Vim uses GTK2+ while the last GTK on OpenVMS is 1.2.10, therefore |
| 15729 | 109 the GTK build is no longer available. |
| 7 | 110 |
| 111 For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing | |

| 120 Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files: | |
| 121 | |
| 122 vim (or wherever) | |
| 123 |- tmp | |
| 124 |- vim57 | |
| 125 |----- doc | |
| 126 |----- syntax | |
| 701 | 127 |- vim62 |

144 subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime. |
| 7 | 145 |
| 146 Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional. | |
| 147 | |
| 148 If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically. | |
| 236 | 149 Read more about it at :help runtime |
| 7 | 150 |
| 151 If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS, | |
| 152 XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation. | |
| 236 | 153 The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s). |
| 154 The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: > | |
| 7 | 155 |
| 156 define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH | |
| 157 or as: > | |
| 158 define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN | |

| 162 6. Practical usage *vms-usage* | |
| 163 | |
| 164 Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore | |
| 165 it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim. | |
| 236 | 166 Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position. |
| 7 | 167 Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory). |
| 236 | 168 Set up the logical $VIM as: > |
| 7 | 169 |
| 170 $ define VIM device:<path> | |
| 171 | |
| 172 Set up some symbols: > | |
| 173 | |
| 174 $ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode. | |
| 175 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE | |
| 176 | |
| 177 $ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode. | |
| 178 $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g | |
| 179 | |
| 180 Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols. | |
| 181 | |
| 182 You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory | |
| 183 (SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings. | |
| 184 | |
| 236 | 185 The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file |
| 186 (MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will | |
| 3082 | 187 be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have |
| 188 their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and | |
| 189 .gvimrc. It should work without problems. | |
| 7 | 190 |
| 236 | 191 Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading |
| 192 ".". So, system rc files are: > | |
| 7 | 193 |
| 194 $VIM:vimrc | |
| 195 $VIM:gvimrc | |
| 196 $VIM:menu.vim | |
| 197 | |
| 236 | 198 and user customized rc files are: > |
| 7 | 199 |
| 200 sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 201 sys$login:.gvimrc | |
| 202 | |
| 3082 | 203 You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command. |
| 7 | 204 |
| 205 Example LOGIN.COM: > | |
| 206 | |
| 32004 | 207 $ define/nolog VIM DKA0:[UTIL.VIM81] |
| 7 | 208 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE |
| 209 $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 | |

| 3082 | 213 Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or |
| 214 clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in | |
| 236 | 215 DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well. |
| 7 | 216 You just have to define the "whole" path: > |
| 217 | |
| 218 $ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>" | |
| 219 $ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" | |
| 220 | |
| 3082 | 221 For example: > |
| 7 | 222 |
| 223 $ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" | |
| 224 $ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required | |
| 225 | |
| 236 | 226 You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim |
| 227 if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not | |
| 228 defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more | |
| 229 information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim | |
| 230 command. | |
| 7 | 231 |
| 232 System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation, | |

| 7 | 245 |
| 701 | 246 IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line |
| 1120 | 247 parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command |
| 701 | 248 line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used. |
| 249 | |
| 250 Examples: | |
| 251 > | |
| 252 vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit | |
| 856 | 253 vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view") |
| 254 vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc | |
| 255 vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc | |
| 256 | |

| 259 7. GUI mode questions *vms-gui* | |
| 260 | |
| 236 | 261 OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most |
| 262 of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation. | |
| 263 It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it | |
| 264 is not too complicated either. | |
| 7 | 265 |
| 236 | 266 First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled. |
| 7 | 267 |
| 268 Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise | |
| 269 you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing. | |
| 270 | |
| 236 | 271 Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you |
| 272 need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK | |
| 412 | 273 can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/). |
| 7 | 274 |
| 275 1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console: | |
| 276 Start Vim with the command: > | |
| 277 | |
| 278 $ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g | |
| 279 < | |
| 236 | 280 or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help |
| 281 gui | |
| 7 | 282 |
| 236 | 283 2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote |
| 284 X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: > | |
| 7 | 285 |
| 286 $ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name> | |
| 287 < | |
| 236 | 288 and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or |
| 7 | 289 type: help set disp in VMS prompt. |
| 290 Examples: > | |
| 291 | |
| 292 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet | |
| 293 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network | |
| 294 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node | |
| 295 | |
| 296 Note: you should define just one of these. | |
| 297 For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt. | |
| 298 | |
| 299 3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box. | |
| 300 It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console. | |
| 301 | |
| 236 | 302 4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment |
| 303 you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2. | |
| 3082 | 304 For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc., |
| 7 | 305 as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with |
| 236 | 306 built-in DEC support. |
| 7 | 307 |
| 308 Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup | |
| 3082 | 309 than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI |
| 7 | 310 features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables. |

| 346 | |
| 236 | 347 Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle |

| 371 8.4 Directory conversion | |
| 372 | |
| 373 Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS | |
| 236 | 374 paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble: |
| 7 | 375 |
| 376 /abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi. | |
| 377 /abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j | |
| 378 /abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2 | |
| 379 /abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 380 abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 381 ./ -> current directory | |
| 382 ../ -> relative parent directory | |
| 383 [.def.ghi] -> relative child directory | |
| 384 ./def/ghi -> relative child directory | |
| 385 | |
| 386 Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as | |
| 387 rf10:<user.zay.work>test.c;1 | |

| 402 | |

| 405 | |
| 236 | 406 2. Set up Vim as your internode editor. If Vim is not installed on your |

453 If the inquire did not help, the solutions is to define the default terminal name: > |
| 7 | 454 |
| 236 | 455 $ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead. |
| 7 | 456 $ ! Note: it's case sensitive |
| 457 $ define term "vt320" | |
| 458 | |
| 3082 | 459 Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra |
| 460 keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows, | |
| 236 | 461 Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to |
| 7 | 462 .gvimrc: > |
| 463 | |
| 464 inoremap <Del> <BS> | |
| 465 | |

| 473 | |
| 474 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools | |
| 475 | |
| 476 A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses | |
| 477 special commands to execute executables: > | |
| 478 | |
| 479 RUN <path>filename | |
| 480 MCR <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 481 | |
| 482 OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them | |
| 236 | 483 to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all |
| 3082 | 484 DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS, |
| 485 etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help | |
| 7 | 486 xxd). |
| 487 | |
| 488 Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable. | |
| 489 Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: > | |
| 490 | |
| 491 :%!mc vim:xxd | |
| 492 | |
| 493 ... or in general: > | |
| 494 :!mc <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 495 | |
| 236 | 496 Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu. |
| 7 | 497 |
| 236 | 498 To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard |
| 7 | 499 parameters as: > |
| 500 | |
| 501 define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags" | |
| 502 | |
| 503 For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS | |
| 504 documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html. | |

| 509 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc | |
| 510 | |
| 511 If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows) | |
| 512 you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line | |
| 513 indication. | |
| 236 | 514 The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say: |
| 7 | 515 > |
| 516 :so sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 517 | |
| 518 One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and | |
| 519 uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files | |
| 520 with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one | |
| 521 machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS). | |

| 526 8.9 Printing from Vim | |
| 527 | |
| 528 To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set | |
| 529 up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical | |
| 530 SYS$PRINT to your default print queue. | |
| 531 Example: > | |
| 532 | |
| 533 $define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI | |
| 534 | |
| 3082 | 535 You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area. |

| 541 8.10 Setting up the symbols | |
| 542 | |
| 11473 | 543 When I use gvim this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits. |
| 7 | 544 I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem. |
| 545 I suggest this instead: > | |
| 546 | |
| 547 $ GV*IM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40 | |
| 548 | |
| 549 The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the | |
| 550 parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window. | |
| 11473 | 551 Without the -GEOMETRY, the gvim window size will be minimal and the menu |
| 7 | 552 will be confused after a window-resize. |

| 557 8.11 diff and other GNU programs | |
| 558 | |
| 559 From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use | |
| 560 GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work. | |
| 236 | 561 There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff |
| 3082 | 562 and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your |
| 7 | 563 diff program as: > |
| 564 | |
| 565 define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe | |
| 566 | |
| 567 Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode) | |
| 3082 | 568 There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same |
| 569 problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for | |
| 570 Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS. | |

581 2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode. |
| 7 | 582 |
| 583 You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU | |
| 236 | 584 tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to |
| 7 | 585 unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that |
| 236 | 586 points to that directory, e.g: > |
| 7 | 587 |
| 588 DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU] | |
| 589 | |
| 590 You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL | |
| 591 prompt: > | |
| 592 | |
| 593 GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE | |

595 Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example |
| 7 | 596 settings from |diff-diffexpr| and change the call to the external diff |
| 236 | 597 program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: > |
| 7 | 598 |
| 599 " Set up vimdiff options | |
| 600 if v:version >= 600 | |
| 601 " Use GNU diff on VMS | |
| 602 set diffexpr=MyDiff() | |
| 603 function MyDiff() | |
| 604 let opt = "" | |
| 605 if &diffopt =~ "icase" | |
| 27903 | 606 let opt = opt .. "-i " |
| 7 | 607 endif |
| 608 if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" | |
| 27903 | 609 let opt = opt .. "-b " |
| 7 | 610 endif |
| 27903 | 611 silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " .. opt .. v:fname_in .. " " .. v:fname_new .. |
| 612 \ " > " .. v:fname_out | |

616 You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only |
| 7 | 617 mode: > |
| 618 | |
| 619 $ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 620 | |
| 621 You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: > | |
| 622 | |
| 623 $ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R | |
| 624 $ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R | |
| 625 | |
| 626 You can now compare files in 4 ways: > | |
| 627 | |
| 628 1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 629 2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 630 3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |

640 with the 'iskeyword' option. |
| 7 | 641 Add this command to your .vimrc file: > |
| 642 | |

| 644 | |

| 648 set iskeyword+=$ | |
| 649 | |
| 650 Now word-based commands, e.g. the '*'-search-command and the CTRL-] | |
| 236 | 651 tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in |

668 As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators |
| 1709 | 669 deploy those executables system wide. |
| 670 Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather | |
| 3082 | 671 slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X |
| 672 environment detection timeout. | |
| 1709 | 673 |
| 674 Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy | |
| 675 both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: > | |

719 Solution 1. All executables in the same directory with different names |
| 1709 | 720 This is easily done with the following script that can be added |
| 721 to the login.com or sylogin.com: > | |
| 722 | |
| 723 $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX" | |
| 724 $ then | |
| 725 $ say "VAX platform" | |
| 726 $ vi*m:== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_VAX | |
| 727 $ endif | |
| 728 $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH" | |
| 729 $ then | |
| 730 $ say "ALPHA platform" | |
| 731 $ vi*m :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_AXP | |
| 732 $ endif | |
| 733 $ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64" | |
| 734 $ then | |
