- ==============================================================================
-
- 1. General *qnx-general*
-
- Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. |os_unix.txt|
-
-
- 2. Compiling Vim *qnx-compiling*
-
- Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to
- compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running
- ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile
- vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other
- features you can enable/disable.
-
-
- 3. Terminal support *qnx-terminal*
-
- Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options
- are compiled in, which they are normally.
-
- The options that affect mouse support are |'mouse'| and |'ttymouse'|. When
- using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is
- supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm
- will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate form what
- vim's doing.
-
- When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt+RightMouse to open the pterm menu.
- To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse=
-
-
- 4. Photon GUI *photon-gui*
-
- To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise
- the terminal version will run. For more info - |gui-x11-start|
-
- Supported features:
- :browse command |:browse|
- :confirm command |:confirm|
- Cursor blinking |'guicursor'|
- Menus, popup menus and menu priorities |:menu|
- |popup-menu|
- |menu-priority|
- Toolbar |gui-toolbar|
- |'toolbar'|
- Font selector (:set guifont=*) |photon-fonts|
- Mouse focus |'mousefocus'|
- Mouse hide |'mousehide'|
- Mouse cursor shapes |'mouseshape'|
- Clipboard |gui-clipboard|
-
- Unfinished features:
- Various international support, such as Farsi & Hebrew support,
- different encodings, etc.
-
- This help file
-
- Unsupported features:
- Find & Replace window |:promptfind|
- Tearoff menus
-
- Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them
-
-
- 5. Fonts *photon-fonts*
-
- You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option >
- :set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal
- <
- The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be
- escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using
- '*' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can
- select a font.
-
- Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and
- style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the
- various styles.
-
- The options are,
- s{size} Set the size of the font to {size}
- b Bold style
- a Use antialiasing
- i Italic style
-
- Examples:
-
- Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing >
- :set guifont=monospace:s10:a
- <
- Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics >
- :set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i
- <
- Select a font with the requester >
- :set guifont=*
- <
-
-
- 6. Bugs & things To Do
-
- Bugs:
- - Still a slight problem with menu highlighting
- - When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that
- doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw
- bold text it will be all messed up.
- - The cursor can sometimes be hard to see.
- - A number of minor problems that can fixed :)
-
- Todo:
- - Improve multi-language support.
- - Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar.
- - Find & Replace dialog.
- - The clientserver features.
- - Maybe tearoff menus.
-
- - Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external
- programs.
