7Differences between Vim and Vi *vi-differences*
8
9Throughout the help files differences between Vim and Vi/Ex are given in
10curly braces, like "{not in Vi}". This file only lists what has not been
11mentioned in other files and gives an overview.
12
13Vim is mostly POSIX 1003.2-1 compliant. The only command known to be missing
14is ":open". There are probably a lot of small differences (either because Vim
15is missing something or because Posix is beside the mark).

25==============================================================================
Bram Moolenaar6bdcfc02005-02-22 08:28:13 +0000261. Simulated command *simulated-command*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000027
Bram Moolenaardd2a3cd2007-05-05 17:10:09 +000028This command is in Vi, but Vim only simulates it:
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000029
Bram Moolenaar6bdcfc02005-02-22 08:28:13 +000030 *:o* *:op* *:open*
31:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
32 {Vi: start editing in open mode}
33
34:[range]o[pen] /pattern/ As above, additionally move the cursor to the
35 column where "pattern" matches in the cursor
36 line.
37
38Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For those
39situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex mode, which
40allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole screen instead of
41only one line.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000042
43==============================================================================
442. Missing options *missing-options*
45
46These options are in the Unix Vi, but not in Vim. If you try to set one of
47them you won't get an error message, but the value is not used and cannot be
48printed.
49
50autoprint (ap) boolean (default on) *'autoprint'* *'ap'*
51beautify (bf) boolean (default off) *'beautify'* *'bf'*
52flash (fl) boolean (default ??) *'flash'* *'fl'*
53graphic (gr) boolean (default off) *'graphic'* *'gr'*
54hardtabs (ht) number (default 8) *'hardtabs'* *'ht'*
55 number of spaces that a <Tab> moves on the display
56mesg boolean (default on) *'mesg'*
57novice boolean (default off) *'novice'*
58open boolean (default on) *'open'*
59optimize (op) boolean (default off) *'optimize'* *'op'*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000060redraw boolean (default off) *'redraw'*
61slowopen (slow) boolean (default off) *'slowopen'* *'slow'*
62sourceany boolean (default off) *'sourceany'*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000063w300 number (default 23) *'w300'*
64w1200 number (default 23) *'w1200'*
65w9600 number (default 23) *'w9600'*
66
67==============================================================================
683. Limits *limits*
69
70Vim has only a few limits for the files that can be edited {Vi: can not handle
71<Nul> characters and characters above 128, has limited line length, many other
72limits}.
73 *E340*
74Maximum line length On machines with 16-bit ints (Amiga and MS-DOS real
75 mode): 32767, otherwise 2147483647 characters.
76 Longer lines are split.
77Maximum number of lines 2147483647 lines.
78Maximum file size 2147483647 bytes (2 Gbyte) when a long integer is
79 32 bits. Much more for 64 bit longs. Also limited
80 by available disk space for the |swap-file|.
81 *E75*
82Length of a file path Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 256
83 characters (or as much as the system supports).
84Length of an expanded string option
85 Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 256
86 characters
87Maximum display width Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 255
88 characters
89Maximum lhs of a mapping 50 characters.
Bram Moolenaar4770d092006-01-12 23:22:24 +000090Number of different highlighting types: over 30000
91Range of a Number variable: -2147483648 to 2147483647 (more on 64 bit
92 systems)
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000093
94Information for undo and text in registers is kept in memory, thus when making
95(big) changes the amount of (virtual) memory available limits the number of
96undo levels and the text that can be kept in registers. Other things are also
97kept in memory: Command-line history, error messages for Quickfix mode, etc.
98
99Memory usage limits
100-------------------
101
102The option 'maxmem' ('mm') is used to set the maximum memory used for one
103buffer (in kilobytes). 'maxmemtot' is used to set the maximum memory used for
104all buffers (in kilobytes). The defaults depend on the system used. For the
105Amiga and MS-DOS, 'maxmemtot' is set depending on the amount of memory
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000106available.
107These are not hard limits, but tell Vim when to move text into a swap file.
108If you don't like Vim to swap to a file, set 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' to a
109very large value. The swap file will then only be used for recovery. If you
110don't want a swap file at all, set 'updatecount' to 0, or use the "-n"
111argument when starting Vim.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000112
113==============================================================================
1144. The most interesting additions *vim-additions*
115
116Vi compatibility. |'compatible'|
117 Although Vim is 99% Vi compatible, some things in Vi can be
118 considered to be a bug, or at least need improvement. But still, Vim
119 starts in a mode which behaves like the "real" Vi as much as possible.
120 To make Vim behave a little bit better, try resetting the 'compatible'
121 option:
122 :set nocompatible
123 Or start Vim with the "-N" argument:
124 vim -N
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000125 Vim starts with 'nocompatible' automatically if you have a .vimrc
126 file. See |startup|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000127 The 'cpoptions' option can be used to set Vi compatibility on/off for
128 a number of specific items.
129
130Support for different systems.
131 Vim can be used on:
132 - All Unix systems (it works on all systems it was tested on, although
133 the GUI and Perl interface may not work everywhere).
134 - Amiga (500, 1000, 1200, 2000, 3000, 4000, ...).
135 - MS-DOS in real-mode (no additional drivers required).
136 - In protected mode on Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS (DPMI driver required).
137 - Windows 95 and Windows NT, with support for long file names.
138 - OS/2 (needs emx.dll)
139 - Atari MiNT
140 - VMS
141 - BeOS
142 - Macintosh
143 - Risc OS
144 - IBM OS/390
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000145 Note that on some systems features need to be disabled to reduce
146 resource usage, esp. on MS-DOS. For some outdated systems you need to
147 use an older Vim version.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000148
149Multi level undo. |undo|
150 'u' goes backward in time, 'CTRL-R' goes forward again. Set option
151 'undolevels' to the number of changes to be remembered (default 1000).
Bram Moolenaar4499d2e2005-04-15 20:41:38 +0000152 Set 'undolevels' to 0 for a vi-compatible one level undo. Set it to
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000153 -1 for no undo at all.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000154 When all changes in a buffer have been undone, the buffer is not
155 considered changed anymore. You can exit it with :q, without <!>.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000156 When undoing a few changes and then making a new change Vim will
157 create a branch in the undo tree. This means you can go back to any
Bram Moolenaar143c38c2007-05-10 16:41:10 +0000158 state of the text, there is no risk of a change causing text to be
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000159 lost forever. |undo-tree|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000160
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000161Graphical User Interface (GUI). |gui|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000162 Included support for GUI: menu's, mouse, scrollbars, etc. You can
163 define your own menus. Better support for CTRL/SHIFT/ALT keys in
164 combination with special keys and mouse. Supported for various
165 platforms, such as X11 (with Motif and Athena interfaces), GTK, Win32
166 (Windows 95 and later), BeOS, Amiga and Macintosh.
167
168Multiple windows and buffers. |windows.txt|
169 Vim can split the screen into several windows, each editing a
170 different buffer or the same buffer at a different location. Buffers
171 can still be loaded (and changed) but not displayed in a window. This
172 is called a hidden buffer. Many commands and options have been added
173 for this facility.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000174 Vim can also use multiple tab pages, each with one or more windows. A
175 line with tab labels can be used to quickly switch between these pages.
176 |tab-page|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000177
178Syntax highlighting. |:syntax|
179 Vim can highlight keywords, patterns and other things. This is
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000180 defined by a number of |:syntax| commands, and can be made to
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000181 highlight most languages and file types. A number of files are
182 included for highlighting the most common languages, like C, C++,
183 Java, Pascal, Makefiles, shell scripts, etc. The colors used for
184 highlighting can be defined for ordinary terminals, color terminals
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000185 and the GUI with the |:highlight| command. A convenient way to do
186 this is using a |:colorscheme| command.
187 The highlighted text can be exported as HTML. |convert-to-HTML|
188 Other items that can be highlighted are matches with the search string
189 |'hlsearch'|, matching parens |matchparen| and the cursor line and
190 column |'cursorline'| |'cursorcolumn'|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000191
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000192Spell checking. |spell|
193 When the 'spell' option is set Vim will highlight spelling mistakes.
194 About 40 languages are currently supported, selected with the
Bram Moolenaarf2330482008-06-24 20:19:36 +0000195 'spelllang' option. In source code only comments and strings are
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000196 checked for spelling.
197
198Folding. |folding|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000199 A range of lines can be shown as one "folded" line. This allows
200 overviewing a file and moving blocks of text around quickly.
201 Folds can be created manually, from the syntax of the file, by indent,
202 etc.
203
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000204Diff mode. |diff|
205 Vim can show two versions of a file with the differences highlighted.
206 Parts of the text that are equal are folded away. Commands can be
207 used to move text from one version to the other.
208
209Plugins. |add-plugin|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000210 The functionality can be extended by dropping a plugin file in the
211 right directory. That's an easy way to start using Vim scripts
212 written by others. Plugins can be for all kind of files, or
213 specifically for a filetype.
214
215Repeat a series of commands. |q|
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000216 "q{c}" starts recording typed characters into named register {c}.
217 A subsequent "q" stops recording. The register can then be executed
218 with the "@{c}" command. This is very useful to repeat a complex
219 action.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000220
221Flexible insert mode. |ins-special-special|
222 The arrow keys can be used in insert mode to move around in the file.
223 This breaks the insert in two parts as far as undo and redo is
224 concerned.
225
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000226 CTRL-O can be used to execute a single Normal mode command. This is
227 almost the same as hitting <Esc>, typing the command and doing |a|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000228
229Visual mode. |Visual-mode|
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000230 Visual mode can be used to first highlight a piece of text and then
231 give a command to do something with it. This is an (easy to use)
232 alternative to first giving the operator and then moving to the end of
233 the text to be operated upon.
234 |v| and |V| are used to start Visual mode. |v| works on characters
235 and |V| on lines. Move the cursor to extend the Visual area. It is
236 shown highlighted on the screen. By typing "o" the other end of the
237 Visual area can be moved. The Visual area can be affected by an
238 operator:
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000239 d delete
240 c change
241 y yank
242 > or < insert or delete indent
243 ! filter through external program
244 = filter through indent
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000245 : start |:| command for the Visual lines.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000246 gq format text to 'textwidth' columns
247 J join lines
248 ~ swap case
249 u make lowercase
250 U make uppercase
251
252Block operators. |visual-block|
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000253 With Visual mode a rectangular block of text can be selected. Start
254 Visual mode with CTRL-V. The block can be deleted ("d"), yanked ("y")
255 or its case can be changed ("~", "u" and "U"). A deleted or yanked
256 block can be put into the text with the "p" and "P" commands.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000257
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000258Help system. |:help|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000259 Help is displayed in a window. The usual commands can be used to
260 move around, search for a string, etc. Tags can be used to jump
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000261 around in the help files, just like hypertext links. The |:help|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000262 command takes an argument to quickly jump to the info on a subject.
263 <F1> is the quick access to the help system. The name of the help
264 index file can be set with the 'helpfile' option.
265
266Command-line editing and history. |cmdline-editing|
267 You can insert or delete at any place in the command-line using the
268 cursor keys. The right/left cursor keys can be used to move
269 forward/backward one character. The shifted right/left cursor keys
270 can be used to move forward/backward one word. CTRL-B/CTRL-E can be
271 used to go to the begin/end of the command-line.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000272 |cmdline-history|
273 The command-lines are remembered. The up/down cursor keys can be used
274 to recall previous command-lines. The 'history' option can be set to
275 the number of lines that will be remembered. There is a separate
276 history for commands and for search patterns.
277
278Command-line completion. |cmdline-completion|
279 While entering a command-line (on the bottom line of the screen)
280 <Tab> can be typed to complete
281 what example ~
282 - command :e<Tab>
283 - tag :ta scr<Tab>
284 - option :set sc<Tab>
285 - option value :set hf=<Tab>
286 - file name :e ve<Tab>
287 - etc.
288
289 If there are multiple matches, CTRL-N (next) and CTRL-P (previous)
290 will walk through the matches. <Tab> works like CTRL-N, but wraps
291 around to the first match.
292
293 The 'wildchar' option can be set to the character for command-line
294 completion, <Tab> is the default. CTRL-D can be typed after an
295 (incomplete) wildcard; all matches will be listed. CTRL-A will insert
296 all matches. CTRL-L will insert the longest common part of the
297 matches.
298
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000299Insert-mode completion. |ins-completion|
300 In Insert mode the CTRL-N and CTRL-P keys can be used to complete a
301 word that appears elsewhere. |i_CTRL-N|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000302 With CTRL-X another mode is entered, through which completion can be
303 done for:
304 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F| file names
305 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K| words from 'dictionary' files
306 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T| words from 'thesaurus' files
307 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I| words from included files
308 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L| whole lines
309 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]| words from the tags file
310 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D| definitions or macros
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000311 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| Omni completion: clever completion
312 specifically for a file type
313 etc.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000314
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000315Long line support. |'wrap'| |'linebreak'|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000316 If the 'wrap' option is off, long lines will not wrap and only part
317 of them will be shown. When the cursor is moved to a part that is not
318 shown, the screen will scroll horizontally. The minimum number of
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000319 columns to scroll can be set with the 'sidescroll' option. The |zh|
320 and |zl| commands can be used to scroll sideways.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000321 Alternatively, long lines are broken in between words when the
322 'linebreak' option is set. This allows editing a single-line
323 paragraph conveniently (e.g. when the text is later read into a DTP
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000324 program). Move the cursor up/down with the |gk| and |gj| commands.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000325
326Text formatting. |formatting|
327 The 'textwidth' option can be used to automatically limit the line
328 length. This supplements the 'wrapmargin' option of Vi, which was not
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000329 very useful. The |gq| operator can be used to format a piece of text
330 (for example, |gqap| formats the current paragraph). Commands for
331 text alignment: |:center|, |:left| and |:right|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000332
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000333Extended search patterns. |pattern|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000334 There are many extra items to match various text items. Examples:
335 A "\n" can be used in a search pattern to match a line break.
336 "x\{2,4}" matches "x" 2 to 4 times.
337 "\s" matches a white space character.
338
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000339Directory, remote and archive browsing. |netrw|
340 Vim can browse the file system. Simply edit a directory. Move around
341 in the list with the usual commands and press <Enter> to go to the
342 directory or file under the cursor.
343 This also works for remote files over ftp, http, ssh, etc.

Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000346Edit-compile-edit speedup. |quickfix|
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000347 The |:make| command can be used to run the compilation and jump to the
348 first error. A file with compiler error messages is interpreted. Vim
349 jumps to the first error.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000350
351 Each line in the error file is scanned for the name of a file, line
352 number and error message. The 'errorformat' option can be set to a
353 list of scanf-like strings to handle output from many compilers.
354
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000355 The |:cn| command can be used to jump to the next error.
356 |:cl| lists all the error messages. Other commands are available.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000357 The 'makeef' option has the name of the file with error messages.
358 The 'makeprg' option contains the name of the program to be executed
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000359 with the |:make| command.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000360 The 'shellpipe' option contains the string to be used to put the
361 output of the compiler into the errorfile.
362
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000363Finding matches in files. |:vimgrep|
364 Vim can search for a pattern in multiple files. This uses the
365 advanced Vim regexp pattern, works on all systems and also works to
366 search in compressed files.
367
368Improved indenting for programs. |'cindent'|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000369 When the 'cindent' option is on the indent of each line is
370 automatically adjusted. C syntax is mostly recognized. The indent
371 for various styles can be set with 'cinoptions'. The keys to trigger
372 indenting can be set with 'cinkeys'.
373
374 Comments can be automatically formatted. The 'comments' option can be
375 set to the characters that start and end a comment. This works best
376 for C code, but also works for e-mail (">" at start of the line) and
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000377 other types of text. The |=| operator can be used to re-indent
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000378 lines.
379
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000380 For many other languages an indent plugin is present to support
381 automatic indenting. |30.3|
382
383Searching for words in included files. |include-search|
384 The |[i| command can be used to search for a match of the word under
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000385 the cursor in the current and included files. The 'include' option
386 can be set the a pattern that describes a command to include a file
387 (the default is for C programs).
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000388 The |[I| command lists all matches, the |[_CTRL-I| command jumps to
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000389 a match.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000390 The |[d|, |[D| and |[_CTRL-D| commands do the same, but only for
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000391 lines where the pattern given with the 'define' option matches.
392
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000393Automatic commands. |autocommand|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000394 Commands can be automatically executed when reading a file, writing a
395 file, jumping to another buffer, etc., depending on the file name.
396 This is useful to set options and mappings for C programs,
397 documentation, plain text, e-mail, etc. This also makes it possible
398 to edit compressed files.
399
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000400Scripts and Expressions. |expression|
401 Commands have been added to form up a powerful script language.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000402 |:if| Conditional execution, which can be used for example
403 to set options depending on the value of $TERM.
404 |:while| Repeat a number of commands.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000405 |:for| Loop over a list.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000406 |:echo| Print the result of an expression.
407 |:let| Assign a value to an internal variable, option, etc.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000408 Variable types are Number, String, List and Dictionary.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000409 |:execute| Execute a command formed by an expression.
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000410 |:try| Catch exceptions.
411 etc., etc. See |eval|.
412 Debugging and profiling are supported. |debug-scripts| |profile|
413 If this is not enough, an interface is provided to |Python|, |Ruby|,
414 |Tcl|, |Perl| and |MzScheme|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000415
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000416Viminfo. |viminfo-file|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000417 The command-line history, marks and registers can be stored in a file
418 that is read on startup. This can be used to repeat a search command
419 or command-line command after exiting and restarting Vim. It is also
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000420 possible to jump right back to where the last edit stopped with |'0|.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000421 The 'viminfo' option can be set to select which items to store in the
422 .viminfo file. This is off by default.
423
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000424Printing. |printing|
425 The |:hardcopy| command sends text to the printer. This can include
426 syntax highlighting.
427
428Mouse support. |mouse-using|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000429 The mouse is supported in the GUI version, in an xterm for Unix, for
Bram Moolenaarf2330482008-06-24 20:19:36 +0000430 BSDs with sysmouse, for Linux with gpm, for MS-DOS, and Win32. It
431 can be used to position the cursor, select the visual area, paste a
432 register, etc.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000433
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000434Usage of key names. |<>| |key-notation|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000435 Special keys now all have a name like <Up>, <End>, etc.
436 This name can be used in mappings, to make it easy to edit them.
437
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000438Editing binary files. |edit-binary|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000439 Vim can edit binary files. You can change a few characters in an
440 executable file, without corrupting it. Vim doesn't remove NUL
441 characters (they are represented as <NL> internally).
442 |-b| command-line argument to start editing a binary file
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000443 |'binary'| Option set by |-b|. Prevents adding an <EOL> for the
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000444 last line in the file.
445
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000446Multi-language support. |multi-lang|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000447 Files in double-byte or multi-byte encodings can be edited. There is
448 UTF-8 support to be able to edit various languages at the same time,
449 without switching fonts. |UTF-8|
450 Messages and menus are available in different languages.
451
Bram Moolenaar18144c82006-04-12 21:52:12 +0000452Move cursor beyond lines.
453 When the 'virtualedit' option is set the cursor can move all over the
454 screen, also where there is no text. This is useful to edit tables
455 and figures easily.
456
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000457==============================================================================
4585. Other vim features *other-features*
459
460A random collection of nice extra features.
461
462
463When Vim is started with "-s scriptfile", the characters read from
464"scriptfile" are treated as if you typed them. If end of file is reached
465before the editor exits, further characters are read from the console.
466
467The "-w" option can be used to record all typed characters in a script file.
468This file can then be used to redo the editing, possibly on another file or
469after changing some commands in the script file.
470
471The "-o" option opens a window for each argument. "-o4" opens four windows.
472
473Vi requires several termcap entries to be able to work full-screen. Vim only
474requires the "cm" entry (cursor motion).
475
476
477In command mode:
478
479When the 'showcmd' option is set, the command characters are shown in the last
480line of the screen. They are removed when the command is finished.
481
482If the 'ruler' option is set, the current cursor position is shown in the
483last line of the screen.
484
485"U" still works after having moved off the last changed line and after "u".
486
487Characters with the 8th bit set are displayed. The characters between '~' and
4880xa0 are displayed as "~?", "~@", "~A", etc., unless they are included in the
489'isprint' option.
490
491"][" goes to the next ending of a C function ('}' in column 1).
492"[]" goes to the previous ending of a C function ('}' in column 1).
493
494"]f", "[f" and "gf" start editing the file whose name is under the cursor.
495CTRL-W f splits the window and starts editing the file whose name is under
496the cursor.
497
498"*" searches forward for the identifier under the cursor, "#" backward.
499"K" runs the program defined by the 'keywordprg' option, with the identifier
500under the cursor as argument.
501
502"%" can be preceded with a count. The cursor jumps to the line that
503percentage down in the file. The normal "%" function to jump to the matching
504brace skips braces inside quotes.
505
506With the CTRL-] command, the cursor may be in the middle of the identifier.
507
508The used tags are remembered. Commands that can be used with the tag stack
509are CTRL-T, ":pop" and ":tag". ":tags" lists the tag stack.
510
511The 'tags' option can be set to a list of tag file names. Thus multiple
512tag files can be used. For file names that start with "./", the "./" is
513replaced with the path of the current file. This makes it possible to use a
514tags file in the same directory as the file being edited.
515
516Previously used file names are remembered in the alternate file name list.
517CTRL-^ accepts a count, which is an index in this list.
518":files" command shows the list of alternate file names.
519"#<N>" is replaced with the <N>th alternate file name in the list.
520"#<" is replaced with the current file name without extension.
521
522Search patterns have more features. The <NL> character is seen as part of the
523search pattern and the substitute string of ":s". Vi sees it as the end of
524the command.
525
526Searches can put the cursor on the end of a match and may include a character
527offset.
528
529Count added to "~", ":next", ":Next", "n" and "N".
530
531The command ":next!" with 'autowrite' set does not write the file. In vi the
532file was written, but this is considered to be a bug, because one does not
533expect it and the file is not written with ":rewind!".
534
535In Vi when entering a <CR> in replace mode deletes a character only when 'ai'
536is set (but does not show it until you hit <Esc>). Vim always deletes a
537character (and shows it immediately).
538
539Added :wnext command. Same as ":write" followed by ":next".
540
541The ":w!" command always writes, also when the file is write protected. In Vi
542you would have to do ":!chmod +w %" and ":set noro".
543
544When 'tildeop' has been set, "~" is an operator (must be followed by a
545movement command).
546
547With the "J" (join) command you can reset the 'joinspaces' option to have only
548one space after a period (Vi inserts two spaces).
549
550"cw" can be used to change white space formed by several characters (Vi is
551confusing: "cw" only changes one space, while "dw" deletes all white space).
552
553"o" and "O" accept a count for repeating the insert (Vi clears a part of
554display).
555
556Flags after Ex commands not supported (no plans to include it).
557
558On non-UNIX systems ":cd" command shows current directory instead of going to
559the home directory (there isn't one). ":pwd" prints the current directory on
560all systems.
561
562After a ":cd" command the file names (in the argument list, opened files)
563still point to the same files. In Vi ":cd" is not allowed in a changed file;
564otherwise the meaning of file names change.
565
566":source!" command reads Vi commands from a file.
567
568":mkexrc" command writes current modified options and mappings to a ".exrc"
569file. ":mkvimrc" writes to a ".vimrc" file.
570
571No check for "tail recursion" with mappings. This allows things like
572":map! foo ^]foo".
573
574When a mapping starts with number, vi loses the count typed before it (e.g.
575when using the mapping ":map g 4G" the command "7g" goes to line 4). This is
576considered a vi bug. Vim concatenates the counts (in the example it becomes
577"74G"), as most people would expect.
578
579The :put! command inserts the contents of a register above the current line.
580
581The "p" and "P" commands of vi cannot be repeated with "." when the putted
582text is less than a line. In Vim they can always be repeated.
583
584":noremap" command can be used to enter a mapping that will not be remapped.
585This is useful to exchange the meaning of two keys. ":cmap", ":cunmap" and
586":cnoremap" can be used for mapping in command-line editing only. ":imap",
587":iunmap" and ":inoremap" can be used for mapping in insert mode only.
588Similar commands exist for abbreviations: ":noreabbrev", ":iabbrev"
589":cabbrev", ":iunabbrev", ":cunabbrev", ":inoreabbrev", ":cnoreabbrev".
590
591In Vi the command ":map foo bar" would remove a previous mapping
592":map bug foo". This is considered a bug, so it is not included in Vim.
593":unmap! foo" does remove ":map! bug foo", because unmapping would be very
594difficult otherwise (this is vi compatible).
595
596The ':' register contains the last command-line.
597The '%' register contains the current file name.
598The '.' register contains the last inserted text.
599
600":dis" command shows the contents of the yank registers.
601
602CTRL-O/CTRL-I can be used to jump to older/newer positions. These are the
603same positions as used with the '' command, but may be in another file. The
604":jumps" command lists the older positions.
605
606If the 'shiftround' option is set, an indent is rounded to a multiple of
607'shiftwidth' with ">" and "<" commands.
608
609The 'scrolljump' option can be set to the minimum number of lines to scroll
610when the cursor gets off the screen. Use this when scrolling is slow.
611
612The 'scrolloff' option can be set to the minimum number of lines to keep
613above and below the cursor. This gives some context to where you are
614editing. When set to a large number the cursor line is always in the middle
615of the window.
616
617Uppercase marks can be used to jump between files. The ":marks" command lists
618all currently set marks. The commands "']" and "`]" jump to the end of the
619previous operator or end of the text inserted with the put command. "'[" and
620"`[" do jump to the start.
621
622The 'shelltype' option can be set to reflect the type of shell used on the
623Amiga.
624
625The 'highlight' option can be set for the highlight mode to be used for
626several commands.
627
628The CTRL-A (add) and CTRL-X (subtract) commands are new. The count to the
629command (default 1) is added to/subtracted from the number at or after the
630cursor. That number may be decimal, octal (starts with a '0') or hexadecimal
631(starts with '0x'). Very useful in macros.
632
633With the :set command the prefix "inv" can be used to invert boolean options.
634
635In both Vi and Vim you can create a line break with the ":substitute" command
636by using a CTRL-M. For Vi this means you cannot insert a real CTRL-M in the
637text. With Vim you can put a real CTRL-M in the text by preceding it with a
638CTRL-V.
639
640
641In Insert mode:
642
643If the 'revins' option is set, insert happens backwards. This is for typing
644Hebrew. When inserting normal characters the cursor will not be shifted and
645the text moves rightwards. Backspace, CTRL-W and CTRL-U will also work in
646the opposite direction. CTRL-B toggles the 'revins' option. In replace mode
647'revins' has no effect. Only when enabled at compile time.
648
649The backspace key can be used just like CTRL-D to remove auto-indents.
650
651You can backspace, CTRL-U and CTRL-W over line breaks if the 'backspace' (bs)
652option includes "eol". You can backspace over the start of insert if the
653'backspace' option includes "start".
654
655When the 'paste' option is set, a few option are reset and mapping in insert
656mode and abbreviation are disabled. This allows for pasting text in windowing
657systems without unexpected results. When the 'paste' option is reset, the old
658option values are restored.
659
660CTRL-T/CTRL-D always insert/delete an indent in the current line, no matter
661what column the cursor is in.
662
663CTRL-@ (insert previously inserted text) works always (Vi: only when typed as
664first character).
665
666CTRL-A works like CTRL-@ but does not leave insert mode.
667
668CTRL-R {0-9a-z..} can be used to insert the contents of a register.
669
670When the 'smartindent' option is set, C programs will be better auto-indented.
671With 'cindent' even more.
672
673CTRL-Y and CTRL-E can be used to copy a character from above/below the
674current cursor position.
675
676After CTRL-V you can enter a three digit decimal number. This byte value is
677inserted in the text as a single character. Useful for international
678characters that are not on your keyboard.
679
680When the 'expandtab' (et) option is set, a <Tab> is expanded to the
681appropriate number of spaces.
682
683The window always reflects the contents of the buffer (Vi does not do this
684when changing text and in some other cases).
685
686If Vim is compiled with DIGRAPHS defined, digraphs are supported. A set of
687normal digraphs is included. They are shown with the ":digraph" command.
688More can be added with ":digraph {char1}{char2} {number}". A digraph is
689entered with "CTRL-K {char1} {char2}" or "{char1} BS {char2}" (only when
690'digraph' option is set).
691
692When repeating an insert, e.g. "10atest <Esc>" vi would only handle wrapmargin
693for the first insert. Vim does it for all.
694
695A count to the "i" or "a" command is used for all the text. Vi uses the count
696only for one line. "3iabc<NL>def<Esc>" would insert "abcabcabc<NL>def" in Vi
697but "abc<NL>defabc<NL>defabc<NL>def" in Vim.
698
699
700In Command-line mode:
701
Bram Moolenaar4499d2e2005-04-15 20:41:38 +0000702<Esc> terminates the command-line without executing it. In vi the command
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000703line would be executed, which is not what most people expect (hitting <Esc>
704should always get you back to command mode). To avoid problems with some
705obscure macros, an <Esc> in a macro will execute the command. If you want a
706typed <Esc> to execute the command like vi does you can fix this with
707 ":cmap ^V<Esc> ^V<CR>"
708
709General:
710
711The 'ttimeout' option is like 'timeout', but only works for cursor and
712function keys, not for ordinary mapped characters. The 'timeoutlen' option
713gives the number of milliseconds that is waited for. If the 'esckeys' option
714is not set, cursor and function keys that start with <Esc> are not recognized
715in insert mode.
716
717There is an option for each terminal string. Can be used when termcap is not
718supported or to change individual strings.
719
720The 'fileformat' option can be set to select the <EOL>: "dos" <CR><NL>, "unix"
721<NL> or "mac" <CR>.
722When the 'fileformats' option is not empty, Vim tries to detect the type of
723<EOL> automatically. The 'fileformat' option is set accordingly.
724
725On systems that have no job control (older Unix systems and non-Unix systems)
726the CTRL-Z, ":stop" or ":suspend" command starts a new shell.
727
728If Vim is started on the Amiga without an interactive window for output, a
729window is opened (and :sh still works). You can give a device to use for
730editing with the |-d| argument, e.g. "-d con:20/20/600/150".
731
732The 'columns' and 'lines' options are used to set or get the width and height
733of the display.
734
735Option settings are read from the first and last few lines of the file.
736Option 'modelines' determines how many lines are tried (default is 5). Note
737that this is different from the Vi versions that can execute any Ex command
738in a modeline (a major security problem). |trojan-horse|
739
740If the 'insertmode' option is set (e.g. in .exrc), Vim starts in insert mode.
741And it comes back there, when pressing <Esc>.

743Undo information is kept in memory. Available memory limits the number and
744size of change that can be undone. This may be a problem with MS-DOS, is
745hardly a problem on the Amiga and almost never with Unix and Win32.
746
747If the 'backup' or 'writebackup' option is set: Before a file is overwritten,
748a backup file (.bak) is made. If the "backup" option is set it is left
749behind.
750
751Vim creates a file ending in ".swp" to store parts of the file that have been
752changed or that do not fit in memory. This file can be used to recover from
753an aborted editing session with "vim -r file". Using the swap file can be
754switched off by setting the 'updatecount' option to 0 or starting Vim with
755the "-n" option. Use the 'directory' option for placing the .swp file
756somewhere else.
757
758Vim is able to work correctly on filesystems with 8.3 file names, also when
759using messydos or crossdos filesystems on the Amiga, or any 8.3 mounted
760filesystem under Unix. See |'shortname'|.
761
762Error messages are shown at least one second (Vi overwrites error messages).
763
764If Vim gives the |hit-enter| prompt, you can hit any key. Characters other
765than <CR>, <NL> and <Space> are interpreted as the (start of) a command. (Vi
766only accepts a command starting with ':').
767
768The contents of the numbered and unnamed registers is remembered when
769changing files.
770
771The "No lines in buffer" message is a normal message instead of an error
772message, since that may cause a mapping to be aborted.
773
774The AUX: device of the Amiga is supported.
775

Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +00009577. POSIX compliance *posix* *posix-compliance*
Bram Moolenaarf97ca8f2005-02-07 21:49:25 +0000958
Bram Moolenaardd2a3cd2007-05-05 17:10:09 +0000959In 2005 the POSIX test suite was run to check the compatibility of Vim. Most
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000960of the test was executed properly. There are the few things where Vim
Bram Moolenaar6bdcfc02005-02-22 08:28:13 +0000961is not POSIX compliant, even when run in Vi compatibility mode.
Bram Moolenaarf97ca8f2005-02-07 21:49:25 +0000962
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000963Set the $VIM_POSIX environment variable to have 'cpoptions' include the POSIX
964flags when Vim starts up. This makes Vim run as POSIX as it can. That's
Bram Moolenaar6bdcfc02005-02-22 08:28:13 +0000965a bit different from being Vi compatible.
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000966
967This is where Vim does not behave as POSIX specifies and why:
968
Bram Moolenaarf97ca8f2005-02-07 21:49:25 +0000969 *posix-screen-size*
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000970 The $COLUMNS and $LINES environment variables are ignored by Vim if
971 the size can be obtained from the terminal in a more reliable way.
972 Add the '|' flag to 'cpoptions' to have $COLUMNS and $LINES overrule
973 sizes obtained in another way.
Bram Moolenaarf97ca8f2005-02-07 21:49:25 +0000974
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000975 The "{" and "}" commands don't stop at a "{" in the original Vi, but
976 POSIX specifies it does. Add the '{' flag to 'cpoptions' if you want
977 it the POSIX way.
978
979 The "D", "o" and "O" commands accept a count. Also when repeated.
980 Add the '#' flag to 'cpoptions' if you want to ignore the count.
Bram Moolenaarf97ca8f2005-02-07 21:49:25 +0000981
Bram Moolenaar6bdcfc02005-02-22 08:28:13 +0000982 The ":cd" command fails if the current buffer is modified when the '.'
983 flag is present in 'cpoptions'.
984
985 There is no ATTENTION message, the "A" flag is added to 'shortmess'.
986
987These are remarks about running the POSIX test suite:
988- vi test 33 sometimes fails for unknown reasons
989- vi test 250 fails; behavior will be changed in a new revision
990 http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mailarchives/ag-review/msg01710.html
991- vi test 310 fails; exit code non-zero when any error occurred?
992- ex test 24 fails because test is wrong. Changed between SUSv2 and SUSv3.
993- ex tests 47, 48, 49, 72, 73 fail because .exrc file isn't read in silent
994 mode and $EXINIT isn't used.
995- ex tests 76, 78 fail because echo is used instead of printf. (fixed)
996 Also: problem with \s not changed to space.
997- ex test 355 fails because 'window' isn't used for "30z".
998- ex test 368 fails because shell command isn't echoed in silent mode.
999- ex test 394 fails because "=" command output isn't visible in silent mode.
1000- ex test 411 fails because test file is wrong, contains stray ':'.
1001- ex test 475 and 476 fail because reprint output isn't visible in silent mode.
1002- ex test 480 and 481 fail because the tags file has spaces instead of a tab.
1003- ex test 502 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode.
1004- ex test 509 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode. and exit code is
1005 1 instead of 2.
1006- ex test 534 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode.
