34 1. Filename Convention *mac-filename*
35
36 You can use either the unix or mac path separator or a mix of both. In order
37 to determine if the specified filename is relative to the current folder or
38 absolute (i.e. relative to the "Desktop"), the following algorithm is used:
39
40 If the path start by a "/", the path is absolute
41 If the path start by a ":", the path is relative
42 If the path doesn't start by neither a "/" nor ":",
43 and a ":" is found before a "/" then the path is absolute
44 >
45 :e /HD/text
46 :e HD:text
47 < Edit the file "text" of the disk "HD" >
48 :e :src:main.c
49 :e src/main.c
50 < Edit the file "main.c" in the folder "src" in the current folder >
51 :e os_mac.c
52 < Edit the file "os_mac.c" in the current folder.
53
54 You can use the |$VIM| and |$VIMRUNTIME| variable. >

58 ==============================================================================
59 2. .vimrc and .vim files *mac-vimfile*
60
61 On the Mac files starting with a dot "." are discouraged, thus the rc files
62 are named "vimrc" or "_vimrc" and "gvimrc" or "_gvimrc". These files can be in
63 any format (mac, dos or unix). Vim can handle any file format when the
64 |'nocompatible'| option is set, otherwise it will only handle mac format
65 files.
66
67 ==============================================================================
68 3. Mac FAQ *mac-faq*
69
70 Q: I can't enter non-ASCII character in Apple Terminal.
71 A: Under Window Settings, Emulation, make sure that "Escape non-ASCII
72 characters" is not checked.
73
74 ==============================================================================
75 4. Mac Lack *mac-lack*
76
77 -The filenames containing both ":" and "/" are sometimes misinterpreted.
78 (just re-execute the command)
79 -Scrollbar are not scrolling live, and when only the arrow or scroll area,
80 a limit of 32 line or page is scrolled.
81 -Syntax highlighting works on 68k Macs but is _really_ slow.
82
83 ==============================================================================
84 5. Mac Bug Report *mac-bug*
85
86 When reporting any Mac specific bug or feature change, please use the vim-mac
87 maillist |vim-mac|. However, you need to be subscribed. An alternative is to
88 send a message to the current MacVim maintainers:
89
90 mac@vim.org
91
92 ==============================================================================
93 6. Compiling Vim *mac-compile*
94
95 See the file "src/INSTALLmac.txt" that comes with the source files.
