| 11 | DESCRIPTION |
| Bram Moolenaar | 8299df9 | 2004-07-10 09:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file first, so that |
| 13 | it can be modified without changing the original file. |

| Bram Moolenaar | 8299df9 | 2004-07-10 09:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim |
| 16 | commands. |

| Bram Moolenaar | 446cb83 | 2008-06-24 21:56:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | The optional argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if |
| RestorerZ | 81b62dd | 2024-08-15 21:39:33 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | the GUI version of Vim is available, or falls back to vim if gvim is |

| Bram Moolenaar | 8299df9 | 2004-07-10 09:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, |
| 23 | like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the language |
| 24 | of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is |
| 25 | available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will be |
| 26 | used. |

| 28 | Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode. |
