- This file contains the particularities for the UNIX version of Vim.
-
- The default help filename is "/usr/local/lib/vim.hlp"
- The files "$HOME/.vimrc" and "$HOME/.exrc" are used instead of "s:.vimrc" and
- "s:.exrc". Additionally "/usr/etc/.vimrc" is used first.
-
- Temporary files (for filtering) are put in "/tmp".
-
- In some cases the terminal may have a problem with CTRL-S (subtract
- command). To get around this you can map another key to CTRL-S, and remap
- CTRL-S to nothing. You could use CTRL-W:
- :noremap! ^W ^V019
- :noremap! ^V019 ^V^V
- :noremap ^W ^V019
- :noremap ^V019 ^V^V
- (^V is the single character CTRL-V. Do not use the '^' character. You have to
- type CTRL-V twice to get one. What is shown above is what you have to type,
- it will look different on the screen or in the .exrc file.)
-
- With wildcard expansion you can use <~> (home directory) and <$>
- (environment variable).
-
- Because terminal updating under UNIX is often slow (e.g. serial line
- terminal, shell window in suntools), the 'showcommand' and 'ruler' options
- are default off.
-
- The file Vim132 is a shell script that can be used to put Vim in 132 column
- mode on a vt100 and lookalikes.
-
- The *.info files are for the Amiga. You don't need them with unix.
