- NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
-
-
- *win32* *Win32* *MS-Windows*
-This file documents the Win32 version of Nvim.
-
-==============================================================================
-1. Known problems *win32-problems*
-
-When doing file name completion, Vim also finds matches for the short file
-name. But Vim will still find and use the corresponding long file name. For
-example, if you have the long file name "this_is_a_test" with the short file
-name "this_i~1", the command ":e *1" will start editing "this_is_a_test".
-
-==============================================================================
-2. Startup *win32-startup*
-
-Current directory *win32-curdir*
-
-If Vim is started with a single file name argument, and it has a full path
-(starts with "x:\"), Vim assumes it was started from the file explorer and
-will set the current directory to where that file is. To avoid this when
-typing a command to start Vim, use a forward slash instead of a backslash.
-Example: >
-
- vim c:\text\files\foo.txt
-
-Will change to the "C:\text\files" directory. >
-
- vim c:/text\files\foo.txt
-
-Will use the current directory.
-
-
-Term option *win32-term*
-
-The only kind of terminal type that the Win32 version of Vim understands is
-"win32", which is built-in. If you set 'term' to anything else, you will
-probably get very strange behavior from Vim. Therefore Vim does not obtain
-the default value of 'term' from the environment variable "TERM".
-
-$PATH *win32-PATH*
-
-The directory of the Vim executable is appended to $PATH. This is mostly to
-make "!xxd" work, as it is in the Tools menu. And it also means that when
-executable() returns 1 the executable can actually be executed.
-
-Quotes in file names *win32-quotes*
-
-Quotes inside a file name (or any other command line argument) can be escaped
-with a backslash. E.g. >
- vim -c "echo 'foo\"bar'"
-
-Alternatively use three quotes to get one: >
- vim -c "echo 'foo"""bar'"
-
-The quotation rules are:
-
-1. A `"` starts quotation.
-2. Another `"` or `""` ends quotation. If the quotation ends with `""`, a `"`
- is produced at the end of the quoted string.
-
-Examples, with [] around an argument:
- "foo" -> [foo]
- "foo"" -> [foo"]
- "foo"bar -> [foobar]
- "foo" bar -> [foo], [bar]
- "foo""bar -> [foo"bar]
- "foo"" bar -> [foo"], [bar]
- "foo"""bar" -> [foo"bar]
-
-
-==============================================================================
-3. Using the mouse *win32-mouse*
-
-The Win32 version of Vim supports using the mouse. If you have a two-button
-mouse, the middle button can be emulated by pressing both left and right
-buttons simultaneously - but note that in the Win32 GUI, if you have the right
-mouse button pop-up menu enabled (see 'mouse'), you should err on the side of
-pressing the left button first. |mouse-using|
-
-When the mouse doesn't work, try disabling the "Quick Edit Mode" feature of
-the console.
-
-==============================================================================
-4. Win32 mini FAQ *win32-faq*
-
-Q. How do I change the font?
-A. In the GUI version, you can use the 'guifont' option. Example: >
- :set guifont=Lucida_Console:h15:cDEFAULT
-< In the console version, you need to set the font of the console itself.
- You cannot do this from within Vim.
-
-Q. I'm using Vim to edit a symbolically linked file on a Unix NFS file server.
- When I write the file, Vim does not "write through" the symlink. Instead,
- it deletes the symbolic link and creates a new file in its place. Why?
-A. On Unix, Vim is prepared for links (symbolic or hard). A backup copy of
- the original file is made and then the original file is overwritten. This
- assures that all properties of the file remain the same. On non-Unix
- systems, the original file is renamed and a new file is written. Only the
- protection bits are set like the original file. However, this doesn't work
- properly when working on an NFS-mounted file system where links and other
- things exist. The only way to fix this in the current version is not
- making a backup file, by ":set nobackup nowritebackup" |'writebackup'|
-
-Q. I'm using Vim to edit a file on a Unix file server through Samba. When I
- write the file, the owner of the file is changed. Why?
-A. When writing a file Vim renames the original file, this is a backup (in
- case writing the file fails halfway). Then the file is written as a new
- file. Samba then gives it the default owner for the file system, which may
- differ from the original owner.
- To avoid this set the 'backupcopy' option to "yes". Vim will then make a
- copy of the file for the backup, and overwrite the original file. The
- owner isn't changed then.
-
-Q. How do I get to see the output of ":make" while it's running?
-A. Basically what you need is to put a tee program that will copy its input
- (the output from make) to both stdout and to the errorfile. You can find a
- copy of tee (and a number of other GNU tools) at
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net or http://unxutils.sourceforge.net
- Alternatively, try the more recent Cygnus version of the GNU tools at
- http://www.cygwin.com Other Unix-style tools for Win32 are listed at
- http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Unix/Win32/
- When you do get a copy of tee, you'll need to add >
- :set shellpipe=\|\ tee
-< to your _vimrc.
-
- *:!start*
-Q. How can I run an external command or program asynchronously?
-A. When using :! to run an external command, you can run it with "start": >
- :!start winfile.exe<CR>
-< Using "start" stops Vim switching to another screen, opening a new console,
- or waiting for the program to complete; it indicates that you are running a
- program that does not affect the files you are editing. Programs begun
- with :!start do not get passed Vim's open file handles, which means they do
- not have to be closed before Vim.
- To avoid this special treatment, use ":! start".
- There are two optional arguments (see the next Q):
- /min the window will be minimized
- /b no console window will be opened
- You can use only one of these flags at a time. A second one will be
- treated as the start of the command.
-
-Q. How do I avoid getting a window for programs that I run asynchronously?
-A. You have two possible solutions depending on what you want:
- 1) You may use the /min flag in order to run program in a minimized state
- with no other changes. It will work equally for console and GUI
- applications.
- 2) You can use the /b flag to run console applications without creating a
- console window for them (GUI applications are not affected). But you
- should use this flag only if the application you run doesn't require any
- input. Otherwise it will get an EOF error because its input stream
- (stdin) would be redirected to \\.\NUL (stdout and stderr too).
-
- Example for a console application, run Exuberant ctags: >
- :!start /min ctags -R .
-< When it has finished you should see file named "tags" in your current
- directory. You should notice the window title blinking on your taskbar.
- This is more noticeable for commands that take longer.
- Now delete the "tags" file and run this command: >
- :!start /b ctags -R .
-< You should have the same "tags" file, but this time there will be no
- blinking on the taskbar.
- Example for a GUI application: >
- :!start /min notepad
- :!start /b notepad
-< The first command runs notepad minimized and the second one runs it
- normally.
-
- *windows-icon*
-Q. I don't like the Vim icon, can I change it?
-A. Yes, place your favorite icon in bitmaps/vim.ico in a directory of
- 'runtimepath'. For example ~/vimfiles/bitmaps/vim.ico.
