description
eVim
starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a
modeless editor. This is still Vim but used as a
point-and-click editor. This feels a lot like using Notepad
on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in the GUI, to
enable the use of menus and toolbar.
Only to be used
for people who really can’t work with Vim in the
normal way. Editing will be much less efficient.
eview is
the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like
evim -R.
See vim(1) for
details about Vim, options, etc.
The
’insertmode’ option is set to be able to type
text directly.
Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the
MS-Windows keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and
CTRL-V pastes text. Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original
meaning of CTRL-V.
options
See vim(1).
aka
Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected
to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on
your head.
