vim via serial console

2018-06-30 Thread tuxic
Hi,

to my Rapsberry Pi Zero W I connect via serial
terminal.

The serial terminal output respect the size
of my terminal window on the host pc.

As soon as I start vim, the size of the
"printable area" - that is: what vim uses
to let me edit text" is drastically shrunken
to 24 lines and 80 colums, which is too tiny
to edit config files and look through log files
in most cases.

Is there a way to tell vim to use the full size
as (in this case) picocom does?

Thanks a lot for any bigger edit window in advance! :)

Cheers
Meino

It would be helpful if you'd explain in plain English what your question
is. From the body of your message, it looks like you're just asking* if Vim
is the right tool for writing and reading; that's incredibly subjective and
open-ended. But your subject line doesn't make any sense to me.

* At least I'm assuming you're asking a question, since you end it with two
question marks; but your sentence doesn't include the word order inversion
usually used of questions in English, and has a period at the end, so it
looks like a statement.

You can use the terminal debugger.  See ":help terminal-debug".
I made it especially to be able to debug Vim (also while travelling,
thus it doesn't depend on a GUI or IDE).
