Hi, I missed something, According to https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17039 : > Looks like problem was introduced in 9.1.1054-1
I downgraded vim to check: $ cygcheck -c | grep vim vim 9.0.2155-2 OK vim-common 9.1.1054-1 Incomplete vim-doc 9.1.1054-1 OK vim-minimal 9.1.1054-1 OK The command 'view' now works OK. I don't see what is different or how it works. There are no aliases in /etc/profile.d/vim.sh. "view" is still tiny vim. So: - the problem was introduced in vim 9.1.1054-1 - The previous version appears to use another method than my proposed aliases.
