Hi Chris,

I am in position to comment but I am wondering if "runtime" was a typo and
you meant "behave"?

JavaBob

It was not a typo.

The ":runtime" command searches the directories in 'runtimepath' for its argument, and if found, sources it. Thus ":runtime mswin.vim" is more or less equivalent to ":source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim". Your vimrc may have either of them, or (recommended) neither, but not both.

The ":behave" command takes an argument which can be either "unix" or "mswin". ":behave mswin" is, IIRC, one of the commands issued by the mswin.vim script.


Best regards,
Tony.

Hi,

Long time lurker first time poster :)

Under windows when I try and use blockwise selection Ctl-v it just
pastes
whatever is in the windows clipboard. Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance,

Whenever Ctrl-V does a paste, the "classical" functionality of Ctrl-V is
taken over by Ctrl-Q

See ":help CTRL-V-alternative"
Thats fantastic thanks!


My pleasure.

Another possibility is to check your vimrc for a line containing one of

        source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
        runtime mswin.vim

and to remove it. The mswin.vim script boasts that it makes Vim "easier
for Windows users". IMHO, what it really does is cripple Vim functionality.

See
        :help mswin.vim
        :help :behave
        :view $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim


Best regards,
Tony.
