patch 9.1.0058: Cannot map Super Keys in GTK UI Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/92e90a1e102825aa9149262cacfc991264db05df Author: Casey Tucker <dctucker@hotmail.com> Date: Thu Jan 25 22:44:00 2024 +0100 patch 9.1.0058: Cannot map Super Keys in GTK UI Problem: Cannot map Super Keys in GTK UI (Casey Tucker) Solution: Enable Super Key mappings in GTK using <D-Key> (Casey Tucker) As a developer who works in both Mac and Linux using the same keyboard, it can be frustrating having to remember different key combinations or having to rely on system utilities to remap keys. This change allows `<D-z>` `<D-x>` `<D-c>` `<D-v>` etc. to be recognized by the `map` commands, along with the `<D-S-...>` shifted variants. ```vimrc if has('gui_gtk') nnoremap <D-z> u nnoremap <D-S-Z> <C-r> vnoremap <D-x> "+d vnoremap <D-c> "+y cnoremap <D-v> <C-R>+ inoremap <D-v> <C-o>"+gP nnoremap <D-v> "+P vnoremap <D-v> "-d"+P nnoremap <D-s> :w<CR> inoremap <D-s> <C-o>:w<CR> nnoremap <D-w> :q<CR> nnoremap <D-q> :qa<CR> nnoremap <D-t> :tabe<CR> nnoremap <D-S-T> :vs#<CR><C-w>T nnoremap <D-a> ggVG vnoremap <D-a> <ESC>ggVG inoremap <D-a> <ESC>ggVG nnoremap <D-f> / nnoremap <D-g> n nnoremap <D-S-G> N vnoremap <D-x> "+x endif ``` closes: #12698 Signed-off-by: Casey Tucker <dctucker@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Apple MacOS

This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
executable version of Vim, you don't need this.

MacOS Classic is no longer supported.  If you really want it use Vim 6.4.
Only '/' is supported as path separator.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you've installed Xcode and CommandLineTools.  You can download Xcode
from the Mac App Store, for free.

To check for CommandLineTools open a terminal and do:

	$ make --version

If not installed yet a window pops up instructing you to install the developer
tools.

If you don't have the source yet, best is to use git (which you need to
install first), see http://www.vim.org/git.php
Or you can download and unpack the Unix tar archive, see
   http://www.vim.org/download.php


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the terminal version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine:
   cd vim/src
   make
   make test
   sudo make install

If you get an error "glibtool: command not found" search on stackoverflow for
mac-osx-where-can-i-download-glibtool.

With Homebrew, run:

      brew install libtool

To build libtool from source:

    1. Download the source code from https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/.

    2. Run these commands from the root of the source code directory:

           ./configure --program-prefix=g
           make
           sudo make install


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the GUI version with X-Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: this probably no longer works, since Athena support has been removed.

First, install XQuartz, which you can download from https://www.xquartz.org.

To tell configure to use a GUI you can edit the Makefile and uncomment these
two lines (remove the # at the start of the line):

    CONF_OPT_GUI = --enable-gui=athena
    CONF_OPT_DARWIN = --disable-darwin

Do "make distclean" to start with a clean slate.
Then build as with the terminal version above.
Instead of "athena" you can try "gtk2" but you probably need to install GTK
first.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac-specific configure options are explained in the Makefile:
	--disable-darwin
	--with-mac-arch
