45 - The 'term' option is set to "builtin_gui" and terminal options are reset to |
| 667 | 46 their default value for the GUI |terminal-options|. |
| 7 | 47 - If the system menu file exists, it is sourced. The name of this file is |
| 48 normally "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim". You can check this with ":version". Also | |
| 49 see |$VIMRUNTIME|. To skip loading the system menu include 'M' in | |
| 50 'guioptions'. *buffers-menu* *no_buffers_menu* | |
| 51 The system menu file includes a "Buffers" menu. If you don't want this, set | |
| 52 the "no_buffers_menu" variable in your .vimrc (not .gvimrc!): > | |
| 53 :let no_buffers_menu = 1 | |
| 54 < NOTE: Switching on syntax highlighting also loads the menu file, thus | |
| 55 disabling the Buffers menu must be done before ":syntax on". | |
| 56 The path names are truncated to 35 characters. You can truncate them at a | |
| 57 different length, for example 50, like this: > | |
| 58 :let bmenu_max_pathlen = 50 | |
| 59 - If the "-U {gvimrc}" command-line option has been used when starting Vim, | |
| 60 the {gvimrc} file will be read for initializations. The following | |
| 42 | 61 initializations are skipped. When {gvimrc} is "NONE" no file will be read |
| 62 for initializations. | |
| 7 | 63 - For Unix and MS-Windows, if the system gvimrc exists, it is sourced. The |
| 64 name of this file is normally "$VIM/gvimrc". You can check this with | |
| 65 ":version". Also see |$VIM|. | |
| 66 - The following are tried, and only the first one that exists is used: | |
| 67 - If the GVIMINIT environment variable exists and is not empty, it is | |
| 68 executed as an Ex command. | |
| 69 - If the user gvimrc file exists, it is sourced. The name of this file is | |
| 70 normally "$HOME/.gvimrc". You can check this with ":version". | |
| 12254 | 71 - For Win32, $HOME is set by Vim if needed, see |$HOME-windows|. |
| 7 | 72 - When a "_gvimrc" file is not found, ".gvimrc" is tried too. And vice |
| 73 versa. | |
| 819 | 74 The name of the first file found is stored in $MYGVIMRC, unless it was |
| 75 already set. | |
| 7 | 76 - If the 'exrc' option is set (which is NOT the default) the file ./.gvimrc |
| 77 is sourced, if it exists and isn't the same file as the system or user | |
| 78 gvimrc file. If this file is not owned by you, some security restrictions | |
| 79 apply. When ".gvimrc" is not found, "_gvimrc" is tried too. For Macintosh | |
| 80 and DOS/Win32 "_gvimrc" is tried first. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 NOTE: All but the first one are not carried out if Vim was started with | |

| 86 All this happens AFTER the normal Vim initializations, like reading your | |
| 87 .vimrc file. See |initialization|. | |
| 88 But the GUI window is only opened after all the initializations have been | |
| 89 carried out. If you want some commands to be executed just after opening the | |
| 90 GUI window, use the |GUIEnter| autocommand event. Example: > | |
| 465 | 91 :autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 100 50 |
| 7 | 92 |
| 93 You can use the gvimrc files to set up your own customized menus (see |:menu|) | |
| 94 and initialize other things that you may want to set up differently from the | |
| 95 terminal version. | |

107 and only the first one that is found is read. |
| 7 | 108 |
| 109 There are a number of options which only have meaning in the GUI version of | |
| 110 Vim. These are 'guicursor', 'guifont', 'guipty' and 'guioptions'. They are | |
| 111 documented in |options.txt| with all the other options. | |
| 112 | |
| 862 | 113 If using the Motif or Athena version of the GUI (but not for the GTK+ or |
| 11 | 114 Win32 version), a number of X resources are available. See |gui-resources|. |
| 7 | 115 |
| 116 Another way to set the colors for different occasions is with highlight | |
| 117 groups. The "Normal" group is used to set the background and foreground | |
| 118 colors. Example (which looks nice): > | |
| 119 | |
| 120 :highlight Normal guibg=grey90 | |
| 121 | |
| 122 The "guibg" and "guifg" settings override the normal background and | |
| 123 foreground settings. The other settings for the Normal highlight group are | |
| 124 not used. Use the 'guifont' option to set the font. | |
| 125 | |
| 126 Also check out the 'guicursor' option, to set the colors for the cursor in | |
| 127 various modes. | |
| 128 | |
| 129 Vim tries to make the window fit on the screen when it starts up. This avoids | |
| 130 that you can't see part of it. On the X Window System this requires a bit of | |
| 131 guesswork. You can change the height that is used for the window title and a | |
| 132 task bar with the 'guiheadroom' option. | |
| 133 | |
| 134 *:winp* *:winpos* *E188* | |
| 135 :winp[os] | |
| 136 Display current position of the top left corner of the GUI vim | |
| 137 window in pixels. Does not work in all versions. | |
| 13437 | 138 Also see |getwinpos()|, |getwinposx()| and |getwinposy()|. |
| 7 | 139 |
| 140 :winp[os] {X} {Y} *E466* | |
| 141 Put the GUI vim window at the given {X} and {Y} coordinates. | |
| 142 The coordinates should specify the position in pixels of the | |
| 143 top left corner of the window. Does not work in all versions. | |
| 144 Does work in an (new) xterm |xterm-color|. | |
| 145 When the GUI window has not been opened yet, the values are | |
| 146 remembered until the window is opened. The position is | |
| 147 adjusted to make the window fit on the screen (if possible). | |
| 148 | |
| 149 *:win* *:winsize* *E465* | |
| 150 :win[size] {width} {height} | |
| 151 Set the window height to {width} by {height} characters. | |
| 152 Obsolete, use ":set lines=11 columns=22". | |
| 153 If you get less lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' | |
| 154 option. | |
| 155 | |
| 156 If you are running the X Window System, you can get information about the | |
| 5697 | 157 window Vim is running in with these commands: > |
| 7 | 158 :!xwininfo -id $WINDOWID |
| 5697 | 159 :!xprop -id $WINDOWID |
| 160 :execute '!xwininfo -id ' . v:windowid | |
| 161 :execute '!xprop -id ' . v:windowid | |
| 3082 | 162 < |
| 163 *gui-IME* *iBus* | |
| 164 Input methods for international characters in X that rely on the XIM | |
| 165 framework, most notably iBus, have been known to produce undesirable results | |
| 12785 | 166 in gvim. These may include an inability to enter spaces, or long delays |
| 3082 | 167 between typing a character and it being recognized by the application. |
| 168 | |
| 169 One workaround that has been successful, for unknown reasons, is to prevent | |
| 170 gvim from forking into the background by starting it with the |-f| argument. | |
| 7 | 171 |
| 172 ============================================================================== | |
| 173 2. Scrollbars *gui-scrollbars* | |
| 174 | |
| 98 | 175 There are vertical scrollbars and a horizontal scrollbar. You may |
| 7 | 176 configure which ones appear with the 'guioptions' option. |
| 177 | |
| 178 The interface looks like this (with ":set guioptions=mlrb"): | |
| 179 | |
| 2642 | 180 +------------------------------+ ` |
| 181 | File Edit Help | <- Menu bar (m) ` | |
| 182 +-+--------------------------+-+ ` | |
| 183 |^| |^| ` | |
| 184 |#| Text area. |#| ` | |
| 185 | | | | ` | |
| 186 |v|__________________________|v| ` | |
| 187 Normal status line -> |-+ File.c 5,2 +-| ` | |
| 188 between Vim windows |^|""""""""""""""""""""""""""|^| ` | |
| 189 | | | | ` | |
| 190 | | Another file buffer. | | ` | |
| 191 | | | | ` | |
| 192 |#| |#| ` | |
| 193 Left scrollbar (l) -> |#| |#| <- Right ` | |
| 194 |#| |#| scrollbar (r) ` | |
| 195 | | | | ` | |
| 196 |v| |v| ` | |
| 197 +-+--------------------------+-+ ` | |
| 198 | |< #### >| | <- Bottom ` | |
| 199 +-+--------------------------+-+ scrollbar (b) ` | |
| 7 | 200 |
| 201 Any of the scrollbar or menu components may be turned off by not putting the | |
| 202 appropriate letter in the 'guioptions' string. The bottom scrollbar is | |
| 203 only useful when 'nowrap' is set. | |
| 204 | |
| 205 | |
| 206 VERTICAL SCROLLBARS *gui-vert-scroll* | |
| 207 | |
| 208 Each Vim window has a scrollbar next to it which may be scrolled up and down | |
| 209 to move through the text in that buffer. The size of the scrollbar-thumb | |
| 210 indicates the fraction of the buffer which can be seen in the window. | |
| 211 When the scrollbar is dragged all the way down, the last line of the file | |
| 212 will appear in the top of the window. | |
| 213 | |
| 214 If a window is shrunk to zero height (by the growth of another window) its | |
| 236 | 215 scrollbar disappears. It reappears when the window is restored. |
| 7 | 216 |
| 217 If a window is vertically split, it will get a scrollbar when it is the | |
| 218 current window and when, taking the middle of the current window and drawing a | |
| 219 vertical line, this line goes through the window. | |
| 220 When there are scrollbars on both sides, and the middle of the current window | |
| 221 is on the left half, the right scrollbar column will contain scrollbars for | |
| 222 the rightmost windows. The same happens on the other side. | |
| 223 | |
| 224 | |
| 225 HORIZONTAL SCROLLBARS *gui-horiz-scroll* | |
| 226 | |
| 227 The horizontal scrollbar (at the bottom of the Vim GUI) may be used to | |
| 228 scroll text sideways when the 'wrap' option is turned off. The | |
| 229 scrollbar-thumb size is such that the text of the longest visible line may be | |
| 230 scrolled as far as possible left and right. The cursor is moved when | |
| 231 necessary, it must remain on a visible character (unless 'virtualedit' is | |
| 232 set). | |
| 233 | |
| 98 | 234 Computing the length of the longest visible line takes quite a bit of |
| 235 computation, and it has to be done every time something changes. If this | |
| 236 takes too much time or you don't like the cursor jumping to another line, | |
| 237 include the 'h' flag in 'guioptions'. Then the scrolling is limited by the | |
| 238 text of the current cursor line. | |
| 7 | 239 |
| 240 *athena-intellimouse* | |
| 241 If you have an Intellimouse and an X server that supports using the wheel, | |
| 242 then you can use the wheel to scroll the text up and down in gvim. This works | |
| 243 with XFree86 4.0 and later, and with some older versions when you add patches. | |
| 244 See |scroll-mouse-wheel|. | |
| 245 | |
| 246 For older versions of XFree86 you must patch your X server. The following | |
| 247 page has a bit of information about using the Intellimouse on Linux as well as | |
| 248 links to the patches and X server binaries (may not have the one you need | |
| 249 though): | |
| 250 http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ | |
| 251 | |
| 252 ============================================================================== | |
| 253 3. Mouse Control *gui-mouse* | |
| 254 | |
| 255 The mouse only works if the appropriate flag in the 'mouse' option is set. | |
| 256 When the GUI is switched on, and 'mouse' wasn't set yet, the 'mouse' option is | |
| 257 automatically set to "a", enabling it for all modes except for the | |
| 258 |hit-enter| prompt. If you don't want this, a good place to change the | |
| 259 'mouse' option is the "gvimrc" file. | |
| 260 | |
| 261 Other options that are relevant: | |
| 262 'mousefocus' window focus follows mouse pointer |gui-mouse-focus| | |
| 263 'mousemodel' what mouse button does which action | |
| 264 'mousehide' hide mouse pointer while typing text | |
| 265 'selectmode' whether to start Select mode or Visual mode | |
| 266 | |
| 267 A quick way to set these is with the ":behave" command. | |
| 268 *:behave* *:be* | |
| 269 :be[have] {model} Set behavior for mouse and selection. Valid | |
| 270 arguments are: | |
| 271 mswin MS-Windows behavior | |
| 272 xterm Xterm behavior | |
| 273 | |
| 274 Using ":behave" changes these options: | |
| 275 option mswin xterm ~ | |
| 276 'selectmode' "mouse,key" "" | |
| 277 'mousemodel' "popup" "extend" | |
| 278 'keymodel' "startsel,stopsel" "" | |
| 279 'selection' "exclusive" "inclusive" | |
| 280 | |
| 281 In the $VIMRUNTIME directory, there is a script called |mswin.vim|, which will | |
| 282 also map a few keys to the MS-Windows cut/copy/paste commands. This is NOT | |
| 283 compatible, since it uses the CTRL-V, CTRL-X and CTRL-C keys. If you don't | |
| 284 mind, use this command: > | |
| 285 :so $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim | |
| 286 | |
| 287 For scrolling with a wheel on a mouse, see |scroll-mouse-wheel|. | |
| 288 | |
| 289 | |
| 290 3.1 Moving Cursor with Mouse *gui-mouse-move* | |
| 291 | |
| 292 Click the left mouse button somewhere in a text buffer where you want the | |
| 293 cursor to go, and it does! | |
| 294 This works in when 'mouse' contains ~ | |
| 295 Normal mode 'n' or 'a' | |
| 296 Visual mode 'v' or 'a' | |
| 297 Insert mode 'i' or 'a' | |
| 298 | |
| 299 Select mode is handled like Visual mode. | |
| 300 | |
| 301 You may use this with an operator such as 'd' to delete text from the current | |
| 302 cursor position to the position you point to with the mouse. That is, you hit | |
| 303 'd' and then click the mouse somewhere. | |
| 304 | |
| 305 *gui-mouse-focus* | |
| 306 The 'mousefocus' option can be set to make the keyboard focus follow the | |
| 307 mouse pointer. This means that the window where the mouse pointer is, is the | |
| 308 active window. Warning: this doesn't work very well when using a menu, | |
| 309 because the menu command will always be applied to the top window. | |
| 310 | |
| 311 If you are on the ':' line (or '/' or '?'), then clicking the left or right | |
| 312 mouse button will position the cursor on the ':' line (if 'mouse' contains | |
| 313 'c', 'a' or 'A'). | |
| 314 | |
| 315 In any situation the middle mouse button may be clicked to paste the current | |
| 316 selection. | |
| 317 | |
| 318 | |
| 319 3.2 Selection with Mouse *gui-mouse-select* | |
| 320 | |
| 321 The mouse can be used to start a selection. How depends on the 'mousemodel' | |
| 322 option: | |
| 323 'mousemodel' is "extend": use the right mouse button | |
| 324 'mousemodel' is "popup": use the left mouse button, while keeping the Shift | |
| 325 key pressed. | |
| 326 | |
| 327 If there was no selection yet, this starts a selection from the old cursor | |
| 328 position to the position pointed to with the mouse. If there already is a | |
| 329 selection then the closest end will be extended. | |
| 330 | |
| 331 If 'selectmode' contains "mouse", then the selection will be in Select mode. | |
| 332 This means that typing normal text will replace the selection. See | |
| 333 |Select-mode|. Otherwise, the selection will be in Visual mode. | |
| 334 | |
| 335 Double clicking may be done to make the selection word-wise, triple clicking | |
| 336 makes it line-wise, and quadruple clicking makes it rectangular block-wise. | |
| 337 | |
| 338 See |gui-selections| on how the selection is used. | |
| 339 | |
| 340 | |
| 341 3.3 Other Text Selection with Mouse *gui-mouse-modeless* | |
| 342 *modeless-selection* | |
| 343 A different kind of selection is used when: | |
| 344 - in Command-line mode | |
| 345 - in the Command-line window and pointing in another window | |
| 346 - at the |hit-enter| prompt | |
| 347 - whenever the current mode is not in the 'mouse' option | |
| 348 - when holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys in the GUI | |
| 1619 | 349 |
| 7 | 350 Since Vim continues like the selection isn't there, and there is no mode |
| 351 associated with the selection, this is called modeless selection. Any text in | |
| 352 the Vim window can be selected. Select the text by pressing the left mouse | |
| 353 button at the start, drag to the end and release. To extend the selection, | |
| 354 use the right mouse button when 'mousemodel' is "extend", or the left mouse | |
| 355 button with the shift key pressed when 'mousemodel' is "popup". | |
| 356 The selection is removed when the selected text is scrolled or changed. | |
| 1619 | 357 |
| 7 | 358 On the command line CTRL-Y can be used to copy the selection into the |
| 1619 | 359 clipboard. To do this from Insert mode, use CTRL-O : CTRL-Y <CR>. When |
| 360 'guioptions' contains a or A (default on X11), the selection is automatically | |
| 361 copied to the "* register. | |
| 362 | |
| 363 The middle mouse button can then paste the text. On non-X11 systems, you can | |
| 364 use CTRL-R +. | |
| 7 | 365 |
| 366 | |
| 367 3.4 Using Mouse on Status Lines *gui-mouse-status* | |
| 368 | |
| 369 Clicking the left or right mouse button on the status line below a Vim | |
| 370 window makes that window the current window. This actually happens on button | |
| 371 release (to be able to distinguish a click from a drag action). | |
| 372 | |
| 373 With the left mouse button a status line can be dragged up and down, thus | |
| 374 resizing the windows above and below it. This does not change window focus. | |
| 375 | |
| 376 The same can be used on the vertical separator: click to give the window left | |
| 377 of it focus, drag left and right to make windows wider and narrower. | |
| 378 | |
| 379 | |
| 380 3.5 Various Mouse Clicks *gui-mouse-various* | |
| 381 | |
| 382 <S-LeftMouse> Search forward for the word under the mouse click. | |
| 383 When 'mousemodel' is "popup" this starts or extends a | |
| 384 selection. | |
| 385 <S-RightMouse> Search backward for the word under the mouse click. | |
| 386 <C-LeftMouse> Jump to the tag name under the mouse click. | |
| 387 <C-RightMouse> Jump back to position before the previous tag jump | |
| 388 (same as "CTRL-T") | |
| 389 | |
| 390 | |
| 391 3.6 Mouse Mappings *gui-mouse-mapping* | |
| 392 | |
| 393 The mouse events, complete with modifiers, may be mapped. Eg: > | |
| 394 :map <S-LeftMouse> <RightMouse> | |
| 395 :map <S-LeftDrag> <RightDrag> | |
| 396 :map <S-LeftRelease> <RightRelease> | |
| 397 :map <2-S-LeftMouse> <2-RightMouse> | |
| 398 :map <2-S-LeftDrag> <2-RightDrag> | |
| 399 :map <2-S-LeftRelease> <2-RightRelease> | |
| 400 :map <3-S-LeftMouse> <3-RightMouse> | |
| 401 :map <3-S-LeftDrag> <3-RightDrag> | |
| 402 :map <3-S-LeftRelease> <3-RightRelease> | |
| 403 :map <4-S-LeftMouse> <4-RightMouse> | |
| 404 :map <4-S-LeftDrag> <4-RightDrag> | |
| 405 :map <4-S-LeftRelease> <4-RightRelease> | |
| 406 These mappings make selection work the way it probably should in a Motif | |
| 407 application, with shift-left mouse allowing for extending the visual area | |
| 408 rather than the right mouse button. | |
| 409 | |
| 410 Mouse mapping with modifiers does not work for modeless selection. | |
| 411 | |
| 412 | |
| 413 3.7 Drag and drop *drag-n-drop* | |
| 414 | |
| 415 You can drag and drop one or more files into the Vim window, where they will | |
| 416 be opened as if a |:drop| command was used. | |
| 417 | |
| 418 If you hold down Shift while doing this, Vim changes to the first dropped | |
| 419 file's directory. If you hold Ctrl Vim will always split a new window for the | |
| 420 file. Otherwise it's only done if the current buffer has been changed. | |
| 421 | |
| 422 You can also drop a directory on Vim. This starts the explorer plugin for | |
| 423 that directory (assuming it was enabled, otherwise you'll get an error | |
| 424 message). Keep Shift pressed to change to the directory instead. | |
| 425 | |
| 426 If Vim happens to be editing a command line, the names of the dropped files | |
| 427 and directories will be inserted at the cursor. This allows you to use these | |
| 428 names with any Ex command. Special characters (space, tab, double quote and | |
| 429 '|'; backslash on non-MS-Windows systems) will be escaped. | |
| 430 | |
| 431 ============================================================================== | |
| 432 4. Making GUI Selections *gui-selections* | |
| 433 | |
| 434 *quotestar* | |
| 435 You may make selections with the mouse (see |gui-mouse-select|), or by using | |
| 436 Vim's Visual mode (see |v|). If 'a' is present in 'guioptions', then | |
| 437 whenever a selection is started (Visual or Select mode), or when the selection | |
| 438 is changed, Vim becomes the owner of the windowing system's primary selection | |
| 439 (on MS-Windows the |gui-clipboard| is used; under X11, the |x11-selection| is | |
| 440 used - you should read whichever of these is appropriate now). | |
| 441 | |
| 442 *clipboard* | |
| 443 There is a special register for storing this selection, it is the "* | |
| 444 register. Nothing is put in here unless the information about what text is | |
| 236 | 445 selected is about to change (e.g. with a left mouse click somewhere), or when |
| 7 | 446 another application wants to paste the selected text. Then the text is put |
| 447 in the "* register. For example, to cut a line and make it the current | |
| 448 selection/put it on the clipboard: > | |
| 449 | |
| 450 "*dd | |
| 451 | |
| 452 Similarly, when you want to paste a selection from another application, e.g., | |
| 453 by clicking the middle mouse button, the selection is put in the "* register | |
| 454 first, and then 'put' like any other register. For example, to put the | |
| 455 selection (contents of the clipboard): > | |
| 456 | |
| 457 "*p | |
| 458 | |
| 459 When using this register under X11, also see |x11-selection|. This also | |
| 460 explains the related "+ register. | |
| 461 | |
| 462 Note that when pasting text from one Vim into another separate Vim, the type | |
| 463 of selection (character, line, or block) will also be copied. For other | |
| 464 applications the type is always character. However, if the text gets | |
| 465 transferred via the |x11-cut-buffer|, the selection type is ALWAYS lost. | |
| 466 | |
| 467 When the "unnamed" string is included in the 'clipboard' option, the unnamed | |
| 468 register is the same as the "* register. Thus you can yank to and paste the | |
| 469 selection without prepending "* to commands. | |
| 470 | |
| 471 ============================================================================== | |
| 472 5. Menus *menus* | |
| 473 | |
| 474 For an introduction see |usr_42.txt| in the user manual. | |
| 475 | |
| 476 | |
| 477 5.1 Using Menus *using-menus* | |
| 478 | |
| 479 Basically, menus can be used just like mappings. You can define your own | |
| 480 menus, as many as you like. | |
| 481 Long-time Vim users won't use menus much. But the power is in adding your own | |
| 482 menus and menu items. They are most useful for things that you can't remember | |
| 483 what the key sequence was. | |
| 484 | |
| 485 For creating menus in a different language, see |:menutrans|. | |

486 If you don't want to use menus at all, see |'go-M'|. |
| 7 | 487 |
| 488 *menu.vim* | |
| 489 The default menus are read from the file "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim". See | |
| 490 |$VIMRUNTIME| for where the path comes from. You can set up your own menus. | |
| 491 Starting off with the default set is a good idea. You can add more items, or, | |
| 492 if you don't like the defaults at all, start with removing all menus | |
| 493 |:unmenu-all|. You can also avoid the default menus being loaded by adding | |
| 494 this line to your .vimrc file (NOT your .gvimrc file!): > | |
| 495 :let did_install_default_menus = 1 | |
| 496 If you also want to avoid the Syntax menu: > | |
| 497 :let did_install_syntax_menu = 1 | |

| 7 | 519 *console-menus* |
| 520 Although this documentation is in the GUI section, you can actually use menus | |
| 521 in console mode too. You will have to load |menu.vim| explicitly then, it is | |
| 522 not done by default. You can use the |:emenu| command and command-line | |
| 523 completion with 'wildmenu' to access the menu entries almost like a real menu | |
| 524 system. To do this, put these commands in your .vimrc file: > | |
| 525 :source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim | |
| 526 :set wildmenu | |
| 527 :set cpo-=< | |
| 528 :set wcm=<C-Z> | |
| 529 :map <F4> :emenu <C-Z> | |
| 530 Pressing <F4> will start the menu. You can now use the cursor keys to select | |
| 531 a menu entry. Hit <Enter> to execute it. Hit <Esc> if you want to cancel. | |
| 532 This does require the |+menu| feature enabled at compile time. | |

535 GTK+ 2 and Motif support Tear-off menus. These are sort of sticky menus or |
| 7 | 536 pop-up menus that are present all the time. If the resizing does not work |
| 537 correctly, this may be caused by using something like "Vim*geometry" in the | |
| 538 defaults. Use "Vim.geometry" instead. | |

| 7 | 543 The Win32 GUI version emulates Motif's tear-off menus. Actually, a Motif user |
| 544 will spot the differences easily, but hopefully they're just as useful. You | |

600 automatically inserted for some modes: |

| 602 Normal nothing nothing | |
| 603 Visual <C-C> <C-\><C-G> | |
| 2152 | 604 Insert <C-\><C-O> |
| 7 | 605 Cmdline <C-C> <C-\><C-G> |
| 606 Op-pending <C-C> <C-\><C-G> | |
| 607 | |
| 608 Appending CTRL-\ CTRL-G is for going back to insert mode when 'insertmode' is | |
| 609 set. |CTRL-\_CTRL-G| | |
| 610 | |
| 611 Example: > | |
| 612 | |
| 613 :amenu File.Next :next^M | |
| 614 | |
| 615 is equal to: > | |
| 616 | |
| 617 :nmenu File.Next :next^M | |
| 618 :vmenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G | |
| 2152 | 619 :imenu File.Next ^\^O:next^M |
| 7 | 620 :cmenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G |
| 621 :omenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G | |
| 622 | |
| 623 Careful: In Insert mode this only works for a SINGLE Normal mode command, | |
| 624 because of the CTRL-O. If you have two or more commands, you will need to use | |
| 625 the ":imenu" command. For inserting text in any mode, you can use the | |
| 626 expression register: > | |
| 627 | |
| 628 :amenu Insert.foobar "='foobar'<CR>P | |
| 629 | |
| 630 Note that the '<' and 'k' flags in 'cpoptions' also apply here (when | |
| 631 included they make the <> form and raw key codes not being recognized). | |
| 632 | |
| 633 Note that <Esc> in Cmdline mode executes the command, like in a mapping. This | |
| 634 is Vi compatible. Use CTRL-C to quit Cmdline mode. | |
| 635 | |
| 636 *:menu-<silent>* *:menu-silent* | |
| 637 To define a menu which will not be echoed on the command line, add | |
| 638 "<silent>" as the first argument. Example: > | |
| 639 :menu <silent> Settings.Ignore\ case :set ic<CR> | |
| 640 The ":set ic" will not be echoed when using this menu. Messages from the | |
| 641 executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a ":silent" | |
| 642 in the executed command: > | |
| 643 :menu <silent> Search.Header :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR> | |
| 859 | 644 "<silent>" may also appear just after "<special>" or "<script>". |
| 645 | |
| 646 *:menu-<special>* *:menu-special* | |
| 647 Define a menu with <> notation for special keys, even though the "<" flag | |
| 648 may appear in 'cpoptions'. This is useful if the side effect of setting | |
| 649 'cpoptions' is not desired. Example: > | |
| 650 :menu <special> Search.Header /Header<CR> | |
| 651 "<special>" must appear as the very first argument to the ":menu" command or | |
| 652 just after "<silent>" or "<script>". | |
| 653 | |
| 7 | 654 *:menu-<script>* *:menu-script* |
| 655 The "to" part of the menu will be inspected for mappings. If you don't want | |
| 656 this, use the ":noremenu" command (or the similar one for a specific mode). | |
| 657 If you do want to use script-local mappings, add "<script>" as the very first | |
| 859 | 658 argument to the ":menu" command or just after "<silent>" or "<special>". |
| 7 | 659 |
| 660 *menu-priority* | |
| 661 You can give a priority to a menu. Menus with a higher priority go more to | |
| 662 the right. The priority is given as a number before the ":menu" command. | |
| 663 Example: > | |
| 664 :80menu Buffer.next :bn<CR> | |
| 665 | |
| 666 The default menus have these priorities: | |
| 667 File 10 | |
| 668 Edit 20 | |
| 669 Tools 40 | |
| 670 Syntax 50 | |
| 671 Buffers 60 | |
| 672 Window 70 | |
| 673 Help 9999 | |
| 674 | |
| 675 When no or zero priority is given, 500 is used. | |
| 676 The priority for the PopUp menu is not used. | |
| 677 | |
| 678 The Help menu will be placed on the far right side of the menu bar on systems | |

680 anymore because right-aligning the Help menu is now discouraged UI design. |
| 7 | 681 |
| 682 You can use a priority higher than 9999, to make it go after the Help menu, | |
| 683 but that is non-standard and is discouraged. The highest possible priority is | |
| 684 about 32000. The lowest is 1. | |
| 685 | |
| 686 *sub-menu-priority* | |
| 687 The same mechanism can be used to position a sub-menu. The priority is then | |
| 688 given as a dot-separated list of priorities, before the menu name: > | |
| 689 :menu 80.500 Buffer.next :bn<CR> | |
| 690 Giving the sub-menu priority is only needed when the item is not to be put | |
| 691 in a normal position. For example, to put a sub-menu before the other items: > | |
| 692 :menu 80.100 Buffer.first :brew<CR> | |
| 693 Or to put a sub-menu after the other items, and further items with default | |
| 694 priority will be put before it: > | |
| 695 :menu 80.900 Buffer.last :blast<CR> | |
| 696 When a number is missing, the default value 500 will be used: > | |
| 697 :menu .900 myMenu.test :echo "text"<CR> | |
| 698 The menu priority is only used when creating a new menu. When it already | |
| 699 existed, e.g., in another mode, the priority will not change. Thus, the | |
| 700 priority only needs to be given the first time a menu is used. | |
| 701 An exception is the PopUp menu. There is a separate menu for each mode | |
| 702 (Normal, Op-pending, Visual, Insert, Cmdline). The order in each of these | |
| 703 menus can be different. This is different from menu-bar menus, which have | |
| 704 the same order for all modes. | |
| 705 NOTE: sub-menu priorities currently don't work for all versions of the GUI. | |
| 706 | |
| 707 *menu-separator* *E332* | |
| 708 Menu items can be separated by a special item that inserts some space between | |
| 709 items. Depending on the system this is displayed as a line or a dotted line. | |
| 710 These items must start with a '-' and end in a '-'. The part in between is | |
| 711 used to give it a unique name. Priorities can be used as with normal items. | |
| 712 Example: > | |
| 713 :menu Example.item1 :do something | |
| 714 :menu Example.-Sep- : | |
| 715 :menu Example.item2 :do something different | |
| 716 Note that the separator also requires a rhs. It doesn't matter what it is, | |
| 717 because the item will never be selected. Use a single colon to keep it | |
| 718 simple. | |
| 719 | |
| 720 *gui-toolbar* | |
| 11 | 721 The toolbar is currently available in the Win32, Athena, Motif, GTK+ (X11), |
| 862 | 722 and Photon GUI. It should turn up in other GUIs in due course. The |
| 236 | 723 default toolbar is setup in menu.vim. |
| 724 The display of the toolbar is controlled by the 'guioptions' letter 'T'. You | |
| 7 | 725 can thus have menu & toolbar together, or either on its own, or neither. |

|
726 The appearance is controlled by the 'toolbar' option. You can choose between |
| 7 | 727 an image, text or both. |
| 728 | |
| 729 *toolbar-icon* | |
| 730 The toolbar is defined as a special menu called ToolBar, which only has one | |
| 731 level. Vim interprets the items in this menu as follows: | |
| 732 1) If an "icon=" argument was specified, the file with this name is used. | |
| 733 The file can either be specified with the full path or with the base name. | |
| 734 In the last case it is searched for in the "bitmaps" directory in | |
| 236 | 735 'runtimepath', like in point 3. Examples: > |
| 7 | 736 :amenu icon=/usr/local/pixmaps/foo_icon.xpm ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR> |
| 737 :amenu icon=FooIcon ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR> | |
| 738 < Note that in the first case the extension is included, while in the second | |
| 739 case it is omitted. | |
| 740 If the file cannot be opened the next points are tried. | |
| 741 A space in the file name must be escaped with a backslash. | |
| 742 A menu priority must come _after_ the icon argument: > | |
| 743 :amenu icon=foo 1.42 ToolBar.Foo :echo "42!"<CR> | |
| 744 2) An item called 'BuiltIn##', where ## is a number, is taken as number ## of | |
| 236 | 745 the built-in bitmaps available in Vim. Currently there are 31 numbered |
| 7 | 746 from 0 to 30 which cover most common editing operations |builtin-tools|. > |
| 747 :amenu ToolBar.BuiltIn22 :call SearchNext("back")<CR> | |
| 748 3) An item with another name is first searched for in the directory | |
| 749 "bitmaps" in 'runtimepath'. If found, the bitmap file is used as the | |
| 750 toolbar button image. Note that the exact filename is OS-specific: For | |
| 751 example, under Win32 the command > | |
| 752 :amenu ToolBar.Hello :echo "hello"<CR> | |
| 753 < would find the file 'hello.bmp'. Under GTK+/X11 it is 'Hello.xpm'. With | |
| 754 GTK+ 2 the files 'Hello.png', 'Hello.xpm' and 'Hello.bmp' are checked for | |
| 755 existence, and the first one found would be used. | |
| 756 For MS-Windows and GTK+ 2 the bitmap is scaled to fit the button. For | |
| 757 MS-Windows a size of 18 by 18 pixels works best. | |
| 758 For MS-Windows the bitmap should have 16 colors with the standard palette. | |
| 759 The light grey pixels will be changed to the Window frame color and the | |
| 760 dark grey pixels to the window shadow color. More colors might also work, | |
| 761 depending on your system. | |
| 762 4) If the bitmap is still not found, Vim checks for a match against its list | |
| 763 of built-in names. Each built-in button image has a name. | |
| 764 So the command > | |
| 765 :amenu ToolBar.Open :e | |
| 766 < will show the built-in "open a file" button image if no open.bmp exists. | |
| 767 All the built-in names can be seen used in menu.vim. | |
| 768 5) If all else fails, a blank, but functioning, button is displayed. | |

| 12559 | 820 Note that Vim may be in any mode when executing these commands. The menu |
| 821 should be defined for Normal mode and will be executed without changing the | |
| 822 current mode. Thus if the current window is in Visual mode and the menu | |
| 823 command does not intentionally change the mode, Vim will remain in Visual | |
| 824 mode. Best is to use `:nnoremenu` to avoid side effects. | |

| 845 5.3 Showing What Menus Are Mapped To *showing-menus* | |
| 846 | |
| 847 To see what an existing menu is mapped to, use just one argument after the | |
| 848 menu commands (just like you would with the ":map" commands). If the menu | |
| 849 specified is a submenu, then all menus under that hierarchy will be shown. | |
| 850 If no argument is given after :menu at all, then ALL menu items are shown | |
| 236 | 851 for the appropriate mode (e.g., Command-line mode for :cmenu). |
| 7 | 852 |
| 853 Special characters in the list, just before the rhs: | |
| 854 * The menu was defined with "nore" to disallow remapping. | |
| 855 & The menu was defined with "<script>" to allow remapping script-local | |
| 856 mappings only. | |
| 857 - The menu was disabled. | |
| 858 | |
| 859 Note that hitting <Tab> while entering a menu name after a menu command may | |
| 860 be used to complete the name of the menu item. | |

883 |
| 7 | 884 If the console-mode vim has been compiled with WANT_MENU defined, you can |
| 885 use :emenu to access useful menu items you may have got used to from GUI | |
| 886 mode. See 'wildmenu' for an option that works well with this. See | |
| 887 |console-menus| for an example. | |
| 888 | |
| 889 When using a range, if the lines match with '<,'>, then the menu is executed | |
| 890 using the last visual selection. | |

904 *:tlu* *:tlunmenu* |
| 7 | 905 To delete a menu item or a whole submenu, use the unmenu commands, which are |
| 906 analogous to the unmap commands. Eg: > | |
| 907 :unmenu! Edit.Paste | |
| 908 | |
| 909 This will remove the Paste item from the Edit menu for Insert and | |
| 910 Command-line modes. | |
| 911 | |
| 912 Note that hitting <Tab> while entering a menu name after an umenu command | |
| 913 may be used to complete the name of the menu item for the appropriate mode. | |
| 914 | |
| 915 To remove all menus use: *:unmenu-all* > | |
| 916 :unmenu * " remove all menus in Normal and visual mode | |
| 917 :unmenu! * " remove all menus in Insert and Command-line mode | |

| 926 5.6 Disabling Menus *disable-menus* | |
| 927 | |
| 928 *:menu-disable* *:menu-enable* | |
| 929 If you do not want to remove a menu, but disable it for a moment, this can be | |
| 930 done by adding the "enable" or "disable" keyword to a ":menu" command. | |
| 931 Examples: > | |
| 932 :menu disable &File.&Open\.\.\. | |
| 933 :amenu enable * | |
| 934 :amenu disable &Tools.* | |
| 935 | |
| 936 The command applies to the modes as used with all menu commands. Note that | |
| 937 characters like "&" need to be included for translated names to be found. | |
| 938 When the argument is "*", all menus are affected. Otherwise the given menu | |
| 939 name and all existing submenus below it are affected. | |
| 940 | |
| 941 | |
| 942 5.7 Examples for Menus *menu-examples* | |
| 943 | |
| 944 Here is an example on how to add menu items with menu's! You can add a menu | |
| 945 item for the keyword under the cursor. The register "z" is used. > | |
| 946 | |
| 947 :nmenu Words.Add\ Var wb"zye:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z<CR> | |
| 948 :nmenu Words.Remove\ Var wb"zye:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR> | |
| 949 :vmenu Words.Add\ Var "zy:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z <CR> | |
| 950 :vmenu Words.Remove\ Var "zy:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR> | |
| 951 :imenu Words.Add\ Var <Esc>wb"zye:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z<CR>a | |
| 952 :imenu Words.Remove\ Var <Esc>wb"zye:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR>a | |
| 953 | |
| 954 (the rhs is in <> notation, you can copy/paste this text to try out the | |
| 955 mappings, or put these lines in your gvimrc; "<C-R>" is CTRL-R, "<CR>" is | |
| 956 the <CR> key. |<>|) | |
| 957 | |
| 958 | |
| 959 5.8 Tooltips & Menu tips | |
| 960 | |
| 961 See section |42.4| in the user manual. | |
| 962 | |
| 963 *:tmenu* *:tm* | |
| 964 :tm[enu] {menupath} {rhs} Define a tip for a menu or tool. {only in | |
| 965 X11 and Win32 GUI} | |
| 966 | |
| 967 :tm[enu] [menupath] List menu tips. {only in X11 and Win32 GUI} | |
| 968 | |

974 |
| 7 | 975 When a tip is defined for a menu item, it appears in the command-line area |
| 976 when the mouse is over that item, much like a standard Windows menu hint in | |
| 236 | 977 the status bar. (Except when Vim is in Command-line mode, when of course |
| 7 | 978 nothing is displayed.) |
| 979 When a tip is defined for a ToolBar item, it appears as a tooltip when the | |
| 980 mouse pauses over that button, in the usual fashion. Use the |hl-Tooltip| | |
| 981 highlight group to change its colors. | |
| 982 | |
| 983 A "tip" can be defined for each menu item. For example, when defining a menu | |
| 984 item like this: > | |
| 985 :amenu MyMenu.Hello :echo "Hello"<CR> | |
| 986 The tip is defined like this: > | |
| 987 :tmenu MyMenu.Hello Displays a greeting. | |
| 988 And delete it with: > | |
| 989 :tunmenu MyMenu.Hello | |
| 990 | |
| 236 | 991 Tooltips are currently only supported for the X11 and Win32 GUI. However, they |
| 7 | 992 should appear for the other gui platforms in the not too distant future. |
| 993 | |
| 994 The ":tmenu" command works just like other menu commands, it uses the same | |
| 995 arguments. ":tunmenu" deletes an existing menu tip, in the same way as the | |
| 996 other unmenu commands. | |
| 997 | |
| 998 If a menu item becomes invalid (i.e. its actions in all modes are deleted) Vim | |
| 999 deletes the menu tip (and the item) for you. This means that :aunmenu deletes | |
| 1000 a menu item - you don't need to do a :tunmenu as well. | |
| 1001 | |
| 1002 | |
| 1003 5.9 Popup Menus | |
| 1004 | |
| 1005 In the Win32 and GTK+ GUI, you can cause a menu to popup at the cursor. | |
| 1006 This behaves similarly to the PopUp menus except that any menu tree can | |
| 1007 be popped up. | |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 This command is for backwards compatibility, using it is discouraged, because | |
| 1010 it behaves in a strange way. | |
| 1011 | |
| 1012 *:popup* *:popu* | |
| 1013 :popu[p] {name} Popup the menu {name}. The menu named must | |
| 1014 have at least one subentry, but need not | |
| 1015 appear on the menu-bar (see |hidden-menus|). | |
| 13437 | 1016 {only available for Win32 and GTK GUI or in |
| 1017 the terminal when compiled with +insert_expand} | |
| 7 | 1018 |
| 398 | 1019 :popu[p]! {name} Like above, but use the position of the mouse |
| 1020 pointer instead of the cursor. | |
| 13437 | 1021 In the terminal this is the last known |
| 1022 position, which is usually at the last click | |
| 14006 | 1023 or release (mouse movement is irrelevant). |
| 398 | 1024 |
| 7 | 1025 Example: > |
| 1026 :popup File | |
| 398 | 1027 will make the "File" menu (if there is one) appear at the text cursor (mouse |
| 1028 pointer if ! was used). > | |
| 7 | 1029 |
| 1030 :amenu ]Toolbar.Make :make<CR> | |
| 1031 :popup ]Toolbar | |
| 1032 This creates a popup menu that doesn't exist on the main menu-bar. | |
| 1033 | |
| 13437 | 1034 Note that in the GUI the :popup command will return immediately, before a |
| 1035 selection has been made. In the terminal the commands waits for the user to | |
| 1036 make a selection. | |
| 1037 | |
| 7 | 1038 Note that a menu that starts with ']' will not be displayed. |
| 1039 | |

1173 7. Extras *gui-extras* |
| 7 | 1174 |
| 1175 This section describes other features which are related to the GUI. | |
| 1176 | |
| 1177 - With the GUI, there is no wait for one second after hitting escape, because | |
| 1178 the key codes don't start with <Esc>. | |
| 1179 | |
| 1180 - Typing ^V followed by a special key in the GUI will insert "<Key>", since | |
| 1181 the internal string used is meaningless. Modifiers may also be held down to | |
| 1182 get "<Modifiers-Key>". | |
| 1183 | |
| 1184 - In the GUI, the modifiers SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT (or META) may be used within | |
| 236 | 1185 mappings of special keys and mouse events. E.g.: :map <M-LeftDrag> <LeftDrag> |
| 7 | 1186 |
| 1187 - In the GUI, several normal keys may have modifiers in mappings etc, these | |
| 1188 are <Space>, <Tab>, <NL>, <CR>, <Esc>. | |
| 1189 | |
| 1190 - To check in a Vim script if the GUI is being used, you can use something | |
| 1191 like this: > | |
| 1192 | |
| 1193 if has("gui_running") | |

| 1199 - When you use the same vimrc file on various systems, you can use something | |
| 1200 like this to set options specifically for each type of GUI: > | |
| 1201 | |
| 1202 if has("gui_running") | |
| 1203 if has("gui_gtk2") | |
| 1204 :set guifont=Luxi\ Mono\ 12 | |
| 1205 elseif has("x11") | |
| 1206 " Also for GTK 1 | |
| 1207 :set guifont=*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-m-*-* | |
| 1208 elseif has("gui_win32") | |
| 1209 :set guifont=Luxi_Mono:h12:cANSI | |
| 1210 endif | |

1217 8. Shell Commands *gui-shell* |
| 7 | 1218 |
| 1219 For the X11 GUI the external commands are executed inside the gvim window. | |
| 1220 See |gui-pty|. | |
| 1221 | |
| 1222 WARNING: Executing an external command from the X11 GUI will not always | |
| 1223 work. "normal" commands like "ls", "grep" and "make" mostly work fine. | |
| 1224 Commands that require an intelligent terminal like "less" and "ispell" won't | |
| 1225 work. Some may even hang and need to be killed from another terminal. So be | |
| 1226 careful! | |
| 1227 | |
| 1228 For the Win32 GUI the external commands are executed in a separate window. | |
| 1229 See |gui-shell-win32|. | |
