| 33 ============================================================================== | |
| 34 1. Filename Convention *mac-filename* | |
| 35 | |
| 719 | 36 Starting with Vim version 7 you can just use the unix path separators with |
| 37 Vim. In order to determine if the specified filename is relative to the | |
| 38 current folder or absolute (i.e. relative to the "Desktop"), the following | |
| 39 algorithm is used: | |
| 7 | 40 |
| 41 If the path start by a "/", the path is absolute | |
| 42 If the path start by a ":", the path is relative | |
| 43 If the path doesn't start by neither a "/" nor ":", | |
| 44 and a ":" is found before a "/" then the path is absolute | |
| 45 > | |
| 46 :e /HD/text | |
| 47 :e HD:text | |
| 48 < Edit the file "text" of the disk "HD" > | |
| 49 :e :src:main.c | |
| 50 :e src/main.c | |
| 51 < Edit the file "main.c" in the folder "src" in the current folder > | |
| 52 :e os_mac.c | |
| 53 < Edit the file "os_mac.c" in the current folder. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 You can use the |$VIM| and |$VIMRUNTIME| variable. > | |
| 56 | |
| 57 :so $VIMRUNTIME:syntax:syntax.vim | |
| 58 | |
| 59 ============================================================================== | |
| 60 2. .vimrc and .vim files *mac-vimfile* | |
| 61 | |
| 719 | 62 It is recommended to use Unix style line separators for Vim scripts, thus a |
| 63 single newline character. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to define | |
| 66 default command-key mappings. | |
| 67 | |
| 68 On older systems files starting with a dot "." are discouraged, thus the rc | |
| 69 files are named "vimrc" or "_vimrc" and "gvimrc" or "_gvimrc". These files | |
| 70 can be in any format (mac, dos or unix). Vim can handle any file format when | |
| 71 the |'nocompatible'| option is set, otherwise it will only handle mac format | |
| 7 | 72 files. |
| 73 | |

| 75 3. Mac FAQ *mac-faq* | |
| 76 | |
| 810 | 77 On the internet: http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php#FAQ |
| 78 | |
| 7 | 79 Q: I can't enter non-ASCII character in Apple Terminal. |
| 80 A: Under Window Settings, Emulation, make sure that "Escape non-ASCII | |
| 81 characters" is not checked. | |
| 82 | |
| 39 | 83 Q: How do I start the GUI from the command line? |
| 84 A: Assuming that Vim.app is located in /Applications: | |
| 85 open /Applications/Vim.app | |
| 86 Or: | |
| 856 | 87 /Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g {arguments} |
| 39 | 88 |
| 818 | 89 Q: How can I set $PATH to something reasonable when I start Vim.app from the |
| 90 GUI or with open? | |
| 91 A: The following trick works with most shells. Put it in your vimrc file. | |
| 92 This is included in the system vimrc file included with the binaries | |
| 93 distributed at macvim.org . > | |
| 94 let s:path = system("echo echo VIMPATH'${PATH}' | $SHELL -l") | |
| 95 let $PATH = matchstr(s:path, 'VIMPATH\zs.\{-}\ze\n') | |
