| 6 | evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing |

| 12 | DESCRIPTION |
| RestorerZ | 81b62dd | 2024-08-15 21:39:33 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi‐ |
| Bram Moolenaar | fd35811 | 2018-07-07 23:21:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | tor. This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. This |
| 15 | feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in |
| 16 | the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal |
| 19 | way. Editing will be much less efficient. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like |
| 22 | evim -R. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly. |
| 27 | Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows |
| 28 | keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text. |
| 29 | Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | OPTIONS |
| 32 | See vim(1). |

| 40 | Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected to |
| 41 | take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on your |
| 42 | head. |
