| NAME |
| evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| evim [options] [file ..] |
| eview |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi‐ |
| tor. This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. This |
| feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in |
| the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar. |
| |
| Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal |
| way. Editing will be much less efficient. |
| |
| eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like |
| evim -R. |
| |
| See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc. |
| |
| The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly. |
| Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows |
| keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text. |
| Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| See vim(1). |
| |
| FILES |
| /usr/local/share/vim/vim??/evim.vim |
| The script loaded to initialize eVim. |
| vim?? is short version number, like vim91 for Vim 9.1 |
| |
| AKA |
| Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected to |
| take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on your |
| head. |
