What is Vim? + +Vim stands for Vi IMproved. It used to be Vi IMitation, but there are so +many improvements that a name change was appropriate. Vim is a text editor +which includes almost all the commands from the Unix program "Vi" and a lot +of new ones. All commands can be given with the keyboard. This has the +advantage that you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and your eyes on +the screen. For those who want it, there is mouse support and a GUI version +with scrollbars and menus. + +Vim is an editor, not a word processor. A word processor is used mainly to +do layout of text. This means positioning it, changing the way it appears +on output. More often than not, the final document is meant to be printed +or typeset or what have you, in order to present it in a pleasing manner to +others. Examples of word processors are Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, +FrameMaker, and AmiPro. + +An editor is simply for entering text. Any typesetting or laying out of the +document is secondary. With an editor, one's main concern is entering text, +not making the text look good. Examples of editors other than Vim and Vi +are Emacs, Crisp, Brief, and xedit. And Notepad. + +For more information, read + + :help intro + + +1.2. Who wrote Vim? + +Most of Vim was written by Bram Moolenar, with contributions from too many +people to mention here. See ":h credits" for a complete list. + +Vim is based on Stevie, worked on by Tim Thompson, Tony Andrews and G.R. +(Fred) Walter. + +For more information, read + + :help author + + +1.3. Is Vim compatible with Vi? + +Yes. Vim is very much compatible with Vi. You can use the "-C" +command-line flag to start Vim in Vi compatible mode: + + $ vim -C + +You can also use: + + $ vim -u NONE + +You can also set the 'compatible' option to enable Vi compatibility: + + :set compatible + +For more information, read + + :help -C + :help 'compatible' + :help compatible-default + + +1.4. What are some of the improvements of Vim over Vi? + +A short summary of the improvements of Vim over vi is listed below. The +list shows that Vim is a thoroughly modern and feature-packed editor. +Standard features of modern editors are implemented, and there is an equal +emphasis on general power-user features and features for programmers. + +Features to modernise Vi: + + Multi-level undo + Allows you to set the number of times you can undo your changes in a + file buffer. You can also redo an undone change. + Multiple windows and buffers + Each file can be displayed in its own window. You can move easily from + one window to another. Each file opened during a Vim session also has + an associated buffer and you can easily jump from one to the other. + Flexible insert mode + Vim allows you to use the arrow keys while in insert mode to move + around in the file. No more hitting , moving around, then hitting + `i' or `a'. + Macros + Vim has a facility which allows you to record a sequence of typed + characters and repeat them any number of times. + Visual mode + You can highlight sections of text and execute operations on this + section of text only. + Block operators + Allow selection and highlighting of rectangular blocks of text in + order do execute specific operations on them. + Online help system + You can easily find help on any aspect of using Vim. Help is displayed + in its own window. + Command-line editing and history + History allows you to use the arrow keys to repeat or search for a + command that has already been typed. Allows you to match the beginning + of a command with the beginning of another similar command in the + history buffer. You can also edit a command to correct typos or change + a few values. + Command line completion. + Using the key, you can complete commands, options, filenames, + etc. as needed. + Horizontal scrolling. + Long lines can be scrolled horizontally (with or without the GUI). + +Advanced user features: + + Text formatting. + With two keystrokes, you can format large sections of text, without + the use of external programs. + Word completion in Insert mode + Vim can complete words while you are typing, by matching the current + word with other similar words in the file. + Jump tags + Just like in an internet browser, you can jump back to previous parts + of the text you were editing, and then forward again. Your brain is + thus free to edit instead of navigate. + Automatic commands + Commands automatically executed when reading or writing a file, + jumping to another buffer, etc. + Viminfo + Allows storing of the command line history, marks and registers in a + file to be read on startup. Therefore, you can recall old search + patterns, macros, etc., in a new Vim session. + Mouse support + The mouse is supported in an xterm and for MS-DOS. It can be used to + position the cursor, select the visual area, paste a register, etc. + Graphical User Interface (GUI) + Just like any modern editor. Also, it's very easy to add your own + menus. Of course, console vim is still supported, and very widely + used. + Scripting language + Vim has a powerful scripting language so new commands can be created. + You can also use Perl, Python, TCL and Ruby to achieve the same thing! + Plugins + Extra functionality implemented via vim commands (regular commands or + the scripting language) that is automatically loaded on startup. + Examples: file explorer, network editing. More are being developed + and shared on VimOnline all the time. + Syntax highlighting for many programming languages + Syntax highlighting for hundreds of programming languages is + supported. Support for others can be added. + Extended regular expressions + Vim supports extended regular expressions which are similar in + functionality to that of perl regular expressions. + +Programming performance features: + + Edit-compile-edit speedup + You can compile within Vim and automatically jump to the location of + errors in the source code. + Indenting for many programming languages + C, C++, Java, Perl, XML and many other languages can be automatically + indented by vim while you type. Support for others can be added. + Searching for words in include files + Vim allows you to search for a match of the word under the cursor in + the current and included files. + Advance text objects + Instantly select, or delete, or copy, or indent, or format, or change + case, or ... to all the text between ( and ), or { and }, or < and >, + or [ and ]. Or a word, sentence, or paragraph. Very powerful. + Folding + Certain parts of the text can be "folded" away. The best example is + the body of a function. You can get an overview of the code, and then + open the fold of the function whose detail you need to see. + ctags and cscope integration + Using these two powerful programs, you can jump to a definition of a + function from a calling instance of it, and use other tricks to + navigate source code. + +For more information, read + + :help vi-differences + + +1.5. Is Vim free? + +Vim is Charityware. There are no restrictions on using or copying Vim, but +the author encourages you to make a donation to charity. A document +explaining how to do so is included in the distribution. + +For more information, read + + :help copyright + + +============================================================================= + +SECTION 2 - RESOURCES + + +2.1. Where can I learn more about Vim? + +You can post your Vim questions to the vim@vim.org mailing list. You can +post your Vim development related questions to the vim-dev@vim.org mailing +list. Vim does not have a newsgroup of its own. But the appropriate +newsgroup to post to is comp.editors. + +"VimOnline" is a web page that serves as a de facto homepage for vim, +although the main purpose of it is to gather tips and scripts from +everywhere. Get involved! The URL is vim.sourceforge.net or vim.sf.net. + +Finally, read the Vi FAQ: + + http://www.faqs.org/faqs/editor-faq/vi/part1/index.html + +For more information, read + + :help mail-list + :help internet + + +2.2. Is there a mailing list available? + +There are several: + + NAME DESCRIPTION + + vim-announce Announcements of new releases + vim General discussion + vim-dev Patches, bug reports, development discussions + vim-mac Macintosh discussion + vim-fr General discussion in French + vim-multibyte Multibyte development issues + vim-vms Development on VMS + +Of these, only vim and vim-dev are of general interest. vim-announce is +read-only to most people, and its messages are sent to the other lists as +well. The remaining four are very low volume. + +To subscribe: send an email to -subscribe@vim.org +To unsubscribe: send an email to -unsubscribe@vim.org +To get help: send an email to -help@vim.org + + +2.3. Is there an archive available for the Vim mailing lists? + +Yes. Visit http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/, where name is one of: +vimannounce, vim, vimdev, vim-fr, vim-mac, vim-multibyte, vim-vms. + +Alternatively, visit www.gmane.org to find out about GMANE, which allows +you to access the mailing lists as though they were newsgroups. This +offers some convenience to those who wish to browse the history or casually +observe the current threads. + + +2.4. Where can I get the Vim user manual in HTML/PDF/PS format? + +You can download the HTML/PDF/PS format of the Vim user manual from: + + http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/ + + +2.5. I have a "xyz" (some) problem with Vim. How do I determine it is a + problem with my setup or with Vim? + +First, you have to determine that the problem is not with your .vimrc or +.gvimrc or system vimrc or your personal plugin files or in any of your +setup files. To do this, use + + $ vim -N -u NONE -U NONE + +This will start Vim in 'nocompatible" mode and will not source your +personal .vimrc and .gvimrc files. It will also not load your personal +plugins. In this invocation of Vim, try to reproduce your problem. If you +are not able to reproduce the problem, then the problem is related to some +setting in one of your local setup files or plugins. To locate the problem +in your setup files, you have to use trial and error and try commenting out +the lines in your setup files one by one. You can also use the -V command +line argument to Vim to get more debug information and analyze the problem: + + $ vim -V2 + +You can increase the value passed to the -V argument to get more debug +information. + +For more information, read + + :help -u + :help -U + :help -N + :help -V + :help 'verbose' + :help :verbose + :help set-verbose + + +2.6. Where can I report bugs? + +First collect the required information using the following command: + + :source $VIMRUNTIME/bugreport.vim + +Now send the resulting text from the above command to the bugs@vim.org +e-mail address. + +The Vim Development mailing list (see above) is a good place to discuss +general bugs. If the bug you find is with syntax highlighting or some +other "added feature" (i.e. not directly programmed into vim), attempt to +inform the maintainer of that feature. + +For more information, read + + :help bug-reports + + +2.7. Where can the FAQ be found? + +The FAQ can be found at VimOnline (vim.sf.net). Other places will be +decided in the future. + + +2.8. What if I don't find an answer in this FAQ? + +This FAQ covers mainly Vim-specific questions. You may find more +information suitable for most Vi clones by reading the Vi FAQ. It is posted +regularly on comp.editors. You can also find a copy at + + http://www.faqs.org/faqs/editor-faq/vi/part1/index.html + +Also, since Vim has gathered so many features in the last few years, +successfully documenting the frequently asked questions here is a +near-impossible task. To make it possible, please email the maintainer if +you have a good question. A good question is one that you've tried to +answer yourself (remember, Vim has great documentation) but struggled. + + +2.9. I have a patch for implementing a Vim feature. Where can I send this + patch? + +You can send your patches to the Vim developer mailing list +vim-dev@vim.org. + +For more information, read + + :help vim-dev + + +2.10. I have a Vim tip or developed a new Vim + syntax/indent/filetype/compiler plugin or developed a new script or a + colorscheme. Is there a public website where I can upload this? + +Yes. You can use the Vim Online website to upload your plugins/scripts, +colorschemes, tips, etc. The site is at http://vim.sourceforge.net + + +============================================================================= + +SECTION 3 - AVAILABILITY + + +3.1.

How do I use the help files? + +Help can be found for all functions of Vim. In order to use it, use the +":help" command. This will bring you to the main help page. On that first +page, you will find explanations on how to move around. Basically, you move +around in the help pages the same way you would in a read-only document. +You can jump to specific subjects by using tags. This can be done in two +ways: + + * Use the "" command while standing on the name of a command or + option. This only works when the tag is a keyword. "" + and "g" work just like "". + * use the ":tag " command. This works with all characters. + +Use "" to jump back to previous positions in the help files. Use +":q" to close the help window. + +If you want to jump to a specific subject on the help pages, use ":help +{subject}". If you don't know what to look for, try ":help index" to get a +list of all available subjects. Use the standard search keys to locate the +information you want. You can abbreviate the ":help" command as ":h". + +For more information, read + + :help online-help + + +4.2. How do I search for a keyword in the Vim help files? + +You can press the CTRL-D key after typing the help keyword to get a list of +all the help keywords containing the supplied pattern. You can also use the +meta characters like *, \+, etc to specify the help search pattern: + + :help init + :help str*() + :help '*indent + +You can press the Tab key after typing a partial help keyword to expand to +the matching keyword. You can continue to press the Tab key to see other +keyword matches. + +From the help window, you can use the ":tag" command to search for +keywords. For example, + + :tselect /window + +This command will list all the help keywords containing the text "window". +You can select one from the list and jump to it. + +You can use the ":helpgrep" command to search for the given text in all the +help files. The quickfix window will be opened with all the matching lines. + +For more information, read + + :help c_CTRL-D + :help c_ + :help :tselect + :help :help + :help :helpgrep + + +4.3. I am getting an error message E123, what did I do wrong? + +You can get more information about the error and the error message using: + + :help E123 + +For more information, read + + :help error-messages + + +4.4. Where can I read about the various modes in Vim? + +You can get information about the different modes in Vim by reading + + :help vim-modes + + +4.5. How do I generate the Vim help tags file after adding a new Vim help + file? + +You can use the ":helptags" command to regenerate the Vim help tag file. +For example: + + :cd $VIMRUNTIME/doc + :helptags . + +For more information, read + + :help :helptags + :help add-local-help + + +4.6. Can I use compressed versions of the help files? + +Yes. You can compress the help files and still be able to view them with +Vim. This makes accessing the help files a bit slower and requires the +"gzip" utility.

Why do I hear a beep (why does my window flash) about 1 second after + I hit the Escape key? + +This is normal behavior. If your window flashes, then you've got the visual +bell on. Otherwise, you should hear a beep. + +Vim needs a timeout to tell the difference between a simple escape and, +say, a cursor key sequence. When you press a key in normal mode (and even +in insert mode) and that key is the beginning of a mapping, Vim waits a +certain amount of time to see if the rest of the mapping sequence follows. +If the mapping sequence is completed before a given timeout period, the +mapping for that sequence of keys is applied. If you interrupt the mapping, +the normal actions associated with the keys are executed. + +For example, if you have a mapping defined as ":imap vvv Vim is great!!" +and you type "vvv" quickly, the "Vim is great!!" will be inserted into your +text. But if you type "vv v" then that is what will put into your text. +This is also true if you type "vvv" too slowly where "too slowly" is longer +than the value for the timeout option.

How do I create a mapping that works only in visual mode? + +You can create mappings that work only in specific mode (normal, command, +insert, visual, etc). To create a mapping that works only in the visual +mode, use the ":vmap" command: + + :vmap + +For more information, read + + :help :vmap + :help map-modes + :help 40.1 + + +20.7. In a Vim script, how do I know which keys to use for my mappings, so + that the mapped key will not collide with an already used key? + +Vim uses most of the keys in the keyboard. You can use the prefix +in maps to define keys which will not overlap with Vim keys. For example: + + :map S s + :map j j + :map k k + +where by default gets substituted with a backslash (\), so the +user would enter + + \s + \j + \k + +to invoke the above map commands. The user can change the mapleader +variable to be whatever they wanted: + + :let mapleader = "," + +When writing a plugin or other script, more often than not, it is advisable +to use :noremap instead of :map to avoid side effects from user defined +mappings. + +For more information, read + + :help + :help + :help write-plugin + + +20.8.

Why does it take a second or more for Vim to process a key, + sometimes when I press a key? + +Make sure you have not defined a mapping for this key using the following +command: + + :map + +If a mapping is defined for this key and the mapped key contains more than +one character, then Vim will wait for the next character to be pressed to +determine whether it is the mapped key or not. For example, if you have +mapped "ab", then if you press "a", Vim will wait for the next key to be +pressed. If the next key is "b", Vim will execute the mapped sequence. +Otherwise, Vim will proceed with the normal processing of "a" followed by +the next key.

How do I map a key to run an external command using a visually + selected text? + +You can the ":vmap" command to map a key in the visual mode. In the mapped +command sequence, you have to first yank the text. The yanked text is +available in the '"' register. Now, you can use the contents of this +register to run the external command. For example, to run the external +command "perldoc" on a visually selected text, you can use the following +mapping: + + :vmap y:!exec "!perldoc '" . @" . "'" + +If you want the mapping to work in the visual mode, but not with the +highlighted text, you can use the following command: + + :vmap :!perldoc + +The above mapping will use the word under the cursor instead of the +highlighted text. Note the use of the before invoking the "perldoc" +external command. The is used to erase the range of text selected in +the visual mode and displayed on the command line.

I am running Vim in a xterm. When I press the CTRL-S key, Vim + freezes. What should I do now? + +Many terminal emulators and real terminal drivers use the CTRL-S key to +stop the data from arriving so that you can stop a fast scrolling display +to look at it (also allowed older terminals to slow down the computer so +that it did not get buffer overflows). You can start the output again by +pressing the CTRL-Q key. + +When you press the CTRL-S key, the terminal driver will stop sending the +output data. As a result of this, it will look like Vim is hung. If you +press the CTRL-Q key, then everything will be back to normal. + +You can turn off the terminal driver flow control using the 'stty' command: + + $ stty -ixon -ixoff + +or, you can change the keys used for the terminal flow control, using the +following commands: + + $ stty stop + $ stty start + + +32.2. I am seeing weird screen update problems in Vim. What can I do to + solve this screen/display update problems? + +You have to use a proper terminal emulator like xterm with correct TERM +settings (TERM=xterm) and a correct terminfo/termcap file. +For more information, read + + :help 'term' + + +32.3. I am using the terminal/console version of Vim. In insertmode, When I + press the backspace key, the character before the cursor is not + erased. How do I configure Vim to do this? + +You have to make sure that Vim gets the correct keycode for the backpspace +key. You can try using the command: + + :fixdel + +Make sure the TERM environment variable is set to the correct terminal +name. You can try using the 'stty' command: + + $ stty erase ^H + +where, you have to enter the ^H character by pressing the CTRL-V key and +then the CTRL-H key. + +For more information, read + + :help :fixdel + :help Linux-backspace + :help NetBSD-backspace + + +32.4. I am using Vim in a xterm. When I quit Vim, the screen contents are + restored back to the original contents. How do I disable this? + +The xterm has a capability called "alternate screen". If this capability +is present, vim switches to that alternate screen upon startup and back on +exit, thus restoring the original screen contents. To disable this +feature, add the following line to your .vimrc file: + + :set t_ti= t_te= + +For more information, read + + :help restorescreen + :help xterm-screens + + +32.5. When I start Vim, it takes quite a few seconds to start. How do I + minimize the startup time? + +This may be related to Vim opening the X display for setting the xterm +title and using the X clipboard. Make sure the DISPLAY variable is set to +point to the correct host. Try using the command line: + + $ vim -X + +This will prevent Vim from opening the X display. With this command-line +option, the X clipboard cannot be used and also Vim will not be able to +change the xterm title. + +You can also set the 'clipboard' option to + + :set clipboard=exclude:.* + +This has the same effect as using the -X command-line argument. + +For more information, read + + :help -X + :help 'clipboard' + + +32.6.

To +solve this problem, use a Vim binary built without the Python interface. + +For more information, read + + :help +python + :help python + + +32.10. How do I get the Vim syntax highlighting to work in a Unix terminal? + +The easiest and simplest way to get Vim syntax highlighting is to use the +GUI version of Vim (GVIM). To get syntax highlighting to work in the +console/terminal version of Vim, you have to run a terminal emulator (like +Xfree86 xterm or rxvt or dtterm) that supports color. Note that if a +terminal emulator supports changing the background and foreground colors, +that does not mean that it also supports ANSI escape sequences for changing +the color. You can download the latest version of Xfree86 xterm from +http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html. You can download the latest version +of rxvt from http://www.rxvt.org. You have to install the terminfo/termcap +file that supports colors for the terminal emulator. Also, set the TERM +environment variable to the correct name of the term that supports colors. + +You can use the colortest.vim script supplied with the Vim runtime +package to test the color setup.

Is it possible to create Unicode files using Vim? + +Yes. It may be more or less complicated depending on the keyboard and fonts +available to you, but it is always possible to encode any possible Unicode +codepoint (and some illegal ones) into a file. To create a Unicode file +using Vim, you should have compiled Vim with the "+multi_byte" compile-time +option. You can get more information about Unicode from the following +sites: + + http://www.unicode.org + http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html + +For more information, read + + :help multibyte + :help usr_45.txt + + +37.2. Which Vim settings are particularly important for editing Unicode + files? + +The most important are the various "encoding" options, i.e., 'encoding', +'fileencoding', 'fileencodings' and 'termencoding'. The boolean option +'bomb' is also significant. + +For more information, read + + :help 'encoding' + :help 'fileencoding' + :help 'fileencodings' + :help 'termencoding' + :help 'bomb' + + +37.3. What is the 'encoding' option? + +Basically, the 'encoding' option defines how Vim will represent your data +internally. However, all Unicode encodings are represented internally as +utf-8 and converted (if necessary) when reading and writing. + +For more information, read + + :help 'encoding' + + +37.4. How does Vim name the various Unicode encodings? + +Utf-8 is called utf-8 or utf8; utf-16 is called ucs-2 or ucs2; utf-32 is +called ucs-4 or ucs4. Also, you may specify endianness (except for utf-8 +which does not vary for endianness) by appending le for little-endian or be +for big-endian. If you create a file with an encoding of ucs-2 or ucs-4 +without specifying endianness, Vim will use what is typical of your +machine. + +For more information, read + + :help encoding-names + :help encoding-values + :help encoding-table + + +37.5. How does Vim specify the presence or absence of a byte-order mark? + +When reading a file, if the 'fileencodings' option includes "ucs-bom", Vim +will check for a byte-order mark. When writing a file, if the 'bomb' option +is set, Vim will write a byte-order mark on files whose encoding warrants +it. + +For more information, read + + :help 'fileencodings' + :help 'bomb' + + +37.6. What is the 'fileencoding' option? + +The 'fileencoding' option defines the particular encoding which Vim will +use to write a file. If empty, then the value of the 'encoding' option is +the default. + +For more information, read + + :help 'fileencoding' + + +37.7. What is the 'fileencodings' option? + +The 'fileencodings' option defines the heuristics used by Vim when opening +an existing file. It is a comma separated list of encodings. A special +name, "ucs-bom" is used to indicate that Vim should check for the presence +of a byte-order mark; however, it will not be recognised if it comes after +"utf-8". Normally, "ucs-bom" (if present) should be first in the list. + +When Vim opens a file, it checks it against the encodings listed in +'fileencodings'. The first one that matches is used. If there is no match, +then Vim sets 'fileencoding' to the null string, i.e., the value of +'encoding' will be used. + +For more information, read + + :help 'fileencodings' + :help 'encoding' + + +37.8. What is the 'termencoding' option? + +The 'termencoding' option defines how your keyboard encodes the data you +type. If empty, Vim assumes that it has the same value as 'encoding'. +Usually it should be set to something that matches your locale. + +For more information, read + + :help 'termencoding' + :help locale + + +37.9. What is the 'bomb' option? + +When reading a file with "ucs-bom" present in the 'fileencodings' option, +Vim will set the 'bomb' option on or off depending on the presence or +absence of a byte-order mark at the start of the file. When writing, Vim +will write a byte-order mark if the 'bomb' option is set. You may set or +unset it manually do make Vim write, or not write, the b.o.m. + +For more information, read + + :help 'bomb' + + +37.10.

Vim is an almost compatible +version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features have been added: multi level +undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename +completion, block operations, etc. + +This package was put together by Wichert Akkerman from +sources obtained from: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/. The current maintainer +is Debian VIM Maintainers . + +Vim was written by Bram Moolenaar. The following copying conditions are taken +from the online documentation. + + +I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except + that they must include this license text. You can also distribute + unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must + include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables + that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage + examples and Vim scripts. + +II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, + including executables and/or source code, when the following four + conditions are met: + 1) This license text must be included unmodified. + 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: + a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in + the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you + (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you + must make your changes, including source code, available to the + maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to + include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the + maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they + will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation + then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes. + The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar . If this + changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely + vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely + impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him + your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has + received your changes they will not have to be sent again. + b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as + mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it + unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the + text under a) applies to those changes. + c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of + the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a + context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you + add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from + making their own changes to the official version of Vim. + d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned + under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the + changes if the following three conditions are met: + - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute + the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and + permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official + version of Vim without fee or restriction. + - You keep the changes for at least three years after last + distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer + or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in + any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them + available to him. + - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This + contact information must remain valid for at least three years + after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long + as possible. + e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, + you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or + any later version. + 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" + command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim + is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned + under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does + not conflict with the license used for the changes. + 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be + removed or changed, except that the person himself can make + corrections. + +III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use + the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the + maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is + by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. + If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a + context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is + + +IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim + sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this + license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came + with, at your option. + +On Debian systems the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 is located on +the filesystem at /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2. + +The Vim user manual and reference manual are Copyright (c) 1988-2003 by Bram +Moolenaar and are distributed under the Open Publication License, v1.0 or later +(no license options are exercised): + + +Open Publication License +v1.0, 8 June 1999 + + +I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS + +The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in +part, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the terms of this +license are adhered to, and that this license or an incorporation of it by +reference (with any options elected by the author(s) and/or publisher) is +displayed in the reproduction. + +Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows: + + Copyright (c) by . This material may be + distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open + Publication License, vX.Y or later (the latest version is presently + available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/). + +The reference must be immediately followed with any options elected by the +author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see section VI). + +Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is permitted. + +Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation of the +original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names shall appear on +all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer surfaces of the book the original +publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work and cited as +possessive with respect to the title. + + +II. COPYRIGHT + +The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or designee. + + +III. SCOPE OF LICENSE + +The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works, unless +otherwise explicitly stated in the document. + +Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open Publication +work with other works or programs on the same media shall not cause this +license to apply to those other works. The aggregate work shall contain a +notice specifying the inclusion of the Open Publication material and +appropriate copyright notice. + +SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be unenforceable in any +jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the license remain in force. + +NO WARRANTY. Open Publication works are licensed and provided "as is" without +warranty of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the +implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or a +warranty of non-infringement. + + +IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS + +All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including +translations, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must meet the +following requirements: + + 1. The modified version must be labeled as such. + 2. The person making the modifications must be identified and the + modifications dated. + 3. Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if applicable must + be retained according to normal academic citation practices. + 4. The location of the original unmodified document must be identified. + 5. The original author's (or authors') name(s) may not be used to assert or + imply endorsement of the resulting document without the original author's + (or authors') permission. + + +V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS + +In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and +strongly recommended of redistributors that: + + 1. If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you + provide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute + at least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the + authors time to provide updated documents. This notification should + describe modifications, if any, made to the document. + 2. All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly + marked up in the document or else described in an attachment to the + document. + 3. Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered + good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of + an Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s). + + +VI. LICENSE OPTIONS + +The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may +elect certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the +license. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be +included with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works. + +A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the +explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as +a change to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in +format or typographical corrections. + +To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified +versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the +copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy. + +B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or in +part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited unless +prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder. + +To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or derivative of +the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior +permission is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference or +copy. --- vim-7.2.025.orig/debian/vim-common.dirs +++ vim-7.2.025/debian/vim-common.dirs @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +/etc/ +/usr/bin/ +/var/lib/vim/addons/ --- vim-7.2.025.orig/debian/gvim.desktop +++ vim-7.2.025/debian/gvim.desktop @@ -0,0 +1,78 @@ +[Desktop Entry] +Name=GVim Text Editor +Comment=Edit text files +Comment[af]=Redigeer tekslêers +Comment[am]=የጽሑá á‹á‹­áˆŽá‰½ ያስተካክሉ +Comment[ar]=حرّر ملÙات نصية +Comment[az]=MÉ™tn fayllarını redaktÉ™ edin +Comment[be]=РÑдагаваньне Ñ‚ÑкÑтавых файлаў +Comment[bg]=Редактиране на текÑтови файлове +Comment[bn]=টেকà§à¦¸à§à¦Ÿ ফাইল à¦à¦¡à¦¿à¦Ÿ করà§à¦¨ +Comment[bs]=Izmijeni tekstualne datoteke +Comment[ca]=Edita fitxers de text +Comment[cs]=Úprava textových souborů +Comment[cy]=Golygu ffeiliau testun +Comment[da]=Redigér tekstfiler +Comment[de]=Textdateien bearbeiten +Comment[el]=ΕπεξεÏγασία αÏχείων κειμένου +Comment[en_CA]=Edit text files +Comment[en_GB]=Edit text files +Comment[es]=Edita archivos de texto +Comment[et]=Redigeeri tekstifaile +Comment[eu]=Editatu testu-fitxategiak +Comment[fa]=ویرایش پرونده‌های متنی +Comment[fi]=Muokkaa tekstitiedostoja +Comment[fr]=Édite des fichiers texte +Comment[ga]=Eagar comhad Téacs +Comment[gu]=લખાણ ફાઇલોમાં ફેરફાર કરો +Comment[he]=ערוך קבצי טקסט +Comment[hi]=पाठ फ़ाइलें संपादित करें +Comment[hr]=UreÄ‘ivanje tekstualne datoteke +Comment[hu]=Szövegfájlok szerkesztése +Comment[id]=Edit file teks +Comment[it]=Modifica file di testo +Comment[ja]=テキスト・ファイルを編集ã—ã¾ã™ +Comment[kn]=ಪಠà³à²¯ ಕಡತಗಳನà³à²¨à³ ಸಂಪಾದಿಸೠ+Comment[ko]=í…스트 파ì¼ì„ 편집합니다 +Comment[lt]=Redaguoti tekstines bylas +Comment[lv]=Rediģēt teksta failus +Comment[mk]=Уреди текÑтуални фајлови +Comment[ml]=വാചക രചനകളൠതിരàµà´¤àµà´¤àµà´• +Comment[mn]=ТекÑÑ‚ файл боловÑруулах +Comment[mr]=गदà¥à¤¯ फाइल संपादित करा +Comment[ms]=Edit fail teks +Comment[nb]=Rediger tekstfiler +Comment[ne]=पाठ फाइललाई संशोधन गरà¥à¤¨à¥à¤¹à¥‹à¤¸à¥ +Comment[nl]=Tekstbestanden bewerken +Comment[nn]=Rediger tekstfiler +Comment[no]=Rediger tekstfiler +Comment[or]=ପାଠà­à¬¯ ଫାଇଲଗà­à¬¡à¬¼à¬¿à¬•à­ ସମà­à¬ªà¬¾à¬¦à¬¨ କରନà­à¬¤à­ +Comment[pa]=ਪਾਠ ਫਾਇਲਾਂ ਸੰਪਾਦਨ +Comment[pl]=Edytor plików tekstowych +Comment[pt]=Editar ficheiros de texto +Comment[pt_BR]=Edite arquivos de texto +Comment[ro]=Editare fiÅŸiere text +Comment[ru]=Редактор текÑтовых файлов +Comment[sk]=Úprava textových súborov +Comment[sl]=Urejanje datotek z besedili +Comment[sq]=Përpuno files teksti +Comment[sr]=Измени текÑтуалне датотеке +Comment[sr@Latn]=Izmeni tekstualne datoteke +Comment[sv]=Redigera textfiler +Comment[ta]=உரை கோபà¯à®ªà¯à®•à®³à¯ˆ தொகà¯à®•à¯à®•à®µà¯à®®à¯ +Comment[th]=à¹à¸à¹‰à¹„ขà¹à¸Ÿà¹‰à¸¡à¸‚้อความ +Comment[tk]=Metin faýllary editle +Comment[tr]=Metin dosyalarını düzenle +Comment[uk]=Редактор текÑтових файлів +Comment[vi]=Soạn thảo tập tin văn bản +Comment[wa]=Asspougnî des fitchîs tecses +Comment[zh_CN]=编辑文本文件 +Comment[zh_TW]=編輯文字檔 +TryExec=gvim +Exec=gvim -f %F +Terminal=false +Type=Application +Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/vim.svg +Categories=Utility;TextEditor;
