| 10 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 11 | .B eVim |
| 12 | starts |
| 13 | .B Vim |
| 14 | and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor. |
| 15 | This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. |
| 16 | This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. |
| 17 | .B eVim |
| 18 | will always run in the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar. |
| 19 | .PP |
| 20 | Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal way. |
| 21 | Editing will be much less efficient. |
