[Haifux] vim was so nice
Hi All, My system was recently updated from Red Hat Enterprize 3 to RHE4, this update including an updated of vim, from 6.1.320 to 6.3.82. Now, with the new vim, many nice features were lost: *syntax highlighting *automatically viewing gzip compressed files *directory browsing *remembering the last search string *remembering, for each file, the line I was at. This is just what I found so far. Before that, when I tried vim version 7.something (an alpha version), I felt like I was walking even backwards - moving with arrows while in insert mode produced ^A, ^B, ^C and ^D, like in really old vi versions (before vim). What is happening? Is there a global switch to get back modernism into my life? Alternatively, how can I re-configure all those options on? This solution is not as good as a global solution, because every day I find another feature which was lost. I should mention that both my .vimrc and my .virc are empty and have always been. My home directory was not changed during the transfer - it is NFS mounted.

Re: [Haifux] vim was so nice
it was a redhat thing, and due to messing stuff up it was cancelled afaik. vim shouldnt do to many stuff out of the box. vim7, btw works very well with a proper vimrc btw.On 5/25/06, Orna Agmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All,My system was recently updated from Red Hat Enterprize 3 to RHE4, thisupdate including an updated of vim, from 6.1.320 to 6.3.82.Now, with the new vim, many nice features were lost:*syntax highlighting *automatically viewing gzip compressed files*directory browsing*remembering the last search string*remembering, for each file, the line I was at.This is just what I found so far.
