For example try using :!vim, :!mutt, or :!irssi from gVim, or pressing K over a word (which, by default, opens the manpage for that word). The :! ex command in gVim doesn't offer a (full) terminal emulator, so starting external programs that use a lot of terminal features won't work very well.Secondly, even if you prefer using Vim, installing a GUI version may offer more compile-time features than the version without, at least in some distros (such as clipboard and clientserver support on Debian-based system in vim-nox vs vim-gnome).Īlso, under Windows, a gVim window can be resized more easily than a console Vim window. Autoselect: If set, any visual selection is automatically yanked to primary/clipboard.while they require more tweaking of the terminal in the other case.

Offers a nice, customizable menu system, where each option has the corresponding Vim command listed. If you’re a developer there is a pretty good chance that you spend a lot of time in either Sublime Text or MacVim gVim on Windows wrangling code.Terminal Vim can also handle the mouse quite well, but not drag-and-drop. Enables mouse support, if otherwise left alone (including drag-and-drop for files).Note that Python 3.9 + Pip 21.0.1 are required for a proper experience on macOS, these must be custom Apple builds. python3 (from the CLT) is 3.8.2 with pip 19.2.3. python is installed, 2.7.16, with the standard warning not to use it. A terminal can only do "blocks of monospaced characters". Before getting into setup, here are my observations on the base system setup. Some other more advanced graphical features, such as "wiggly lines" for spell checking, more flexible cursor shapes, etc.In the GUI (gvim), the cursor can be fully customized. Depending upon your system, you can make the cursor more prominent using blinking and a distinctive color, or you can make the cursor less distracting by disabling blinking and using a bland color. Note that you should be using a font that supports true italics. Vim allows the cursor shape, blink rate, and color to be customized, if supported by the underlying system. For true italics, the same holds true (see this and this). 24-bit color support out of the box (to get the same amount of colors in terminal vim, you have to try a little harder, see this and this).Once Neovim is installed, it behaves the same way as Vim and. This reduces surface area for bugs, and removes a common source of confusion and friction for users. Think of it as a leaner version of Vim’s HUGE build. Some features that will only work with gVim: Nvim always includes ALL features, in contrast to Vim (which ships with various combinations of 100+ optional features).
