1*os_amiga.txt* For Vim version 7.3. Last change: 2010 Aug 14 2 3 4 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar 5 6 7 *Amiga* 8This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim. 9There is also a section specifically for |MorphOS| below. 10 11NOTE: The Amiga code is still included, but has not been maintained or tested. 12 13Installation on the Amiga: 14- Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will 15 look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command). 16 Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around: 17 when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used. 18- With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been 19 compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are 20 in "C:" (for executing external commands). 21- Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk 22 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for 23 executing external commands). 24 25If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and 26csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put 27"rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez 28version 0.5. 29 30If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without 31the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can 32recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x. 33See the makefiles and feature.h. 34 35If you notice Vim crashes on some files when syntax highlighting is on, or 36when using a search pattern with nested wildcards, it might be that the stack 37is too small. Try increasing the stack size. In a shell use the Stack 38command before launching Vim. On the Workbench, select the Vim icon, use the 39workbench "Info" menu and change the Stack field in the form. 40 41If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes: 42 t_mr (for inverted text) 43 t_md (for bold text) 44 t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md) 45 t_so (for standout mode) 46 t_se (for normal text after t_so) 47 t_us (for underlined text) 48 t_ue (for normal text after t_us) 49 t_ZH (for italic text) 50 t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH) 51 52Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are: 5330 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off 5431 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface 5532 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint 5633 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic 5734 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore 5835 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video 5936 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible 6037 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background 61 62The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be 63the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For 64example to get white text on a blue background: > 65 :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m 66 :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m 67 :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m 68 :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m 69 :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m 70 :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m 71 :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m 72 :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m 73 :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m 74 75When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g. > 76 :r! echo this; echo that 77Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the 78commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done 79automatically in Vim). Examples: > 80 :r! (echo this; echo that) 81 :r! {echo this; echo that} 82 83Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file 84name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded 85spaces need to be escaped with a backslash. 86 87------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 88Vim for MorphOS *MorphOS* 89 90[this section mostly by Ali Akcaagac] 91 92For the latest info about the MorphOS version: 93 http://www.akcaagac.com/index_vim.html 94 95 96Problems ~ 97 98There are a couple of problems which are not MorphOS related but more Vim and 99UN*X related. When starting up Vim in ram: it complains with a nag requester 100from MorphOS please simply ignore it. Another problem is when running Vim as 101is some plugins will cause a few problems which you can ignore as well. 102Hopefully someone will be fixing it over the time. 103 104To pass all these problems for now you can either run: 105 106 vim <file to be edited> 107 108or if you want to run Vim plain and enjoy the motion of Helpfiles etc. it then 109would be better to enter: 110 111 vim --noplugins <of course you can add a file> 112 113 114Installation ~ 115 1161) Please copy the binary 'VIM' file to c: 1172) Get the Vim runtime package from: 118 119 ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/amiga/vim62rt.tgz 120 121 and unpack it in your 'Apps' directory of the MorphOS installation. For me 122 this would create following directory hierarchy: 123 124 MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62/... 125 1263) Add the following lines to your s:shell-startup (Important!). 127 128 ;Begin VIM 129 Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 130 Assign HOME: "" 131 ;End VIM 132 1334) Copy the '.vimrc' file to s: 134 1355) There is also a file named 'color-sequence' included in this archive. This 136 will set the MorphOS Shell to show ANSI colors. Please copy the file to s: 137 and change the s:shell-startup to: 138 139 ;Begin VIM 140 Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 141 Assign HOME: "" 142 Execute S:Color-Sequence 143 Cls 144 ;End VIM 145 146 147 vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: 148
