165 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
166 -------------------
167
168 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
169 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
170 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
171 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
172
173 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
174 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
175 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
176 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
177 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
178 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
179 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
180 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
181 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
182 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
183 digit.
184 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
185 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
186 'cpoptions'.

761 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This 790 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
762 is Vi compatible. 791 is Vi compatible.
763 792
793 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
794 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
795 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
796
797 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
798 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
799
800 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
801 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
802
803 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
804 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
805 'cpoptions' for this.
806
807 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
808
809 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
810 be Vi compatible.
811
812 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
813 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
814 shell and caused trouble there.
