Hi,
New to vim project as I didn't want to install a whole subsystem
(cygwin) just to use vi.
Anyway, I installed vim on a 64 bit XP env (Opteron, not IA64) and then
copied 64 bit vim binaries/files (x64) from georgevreilly.com/vim.
But I don't see the shell extensions but can run it manually.
Any tips or ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bri-
- You may run the "install" program (which is normally installed in the same
directory as your Vim executable) to add "Edit with gvim" functionality to
Windows Explorer. This ought to work out of the box, but if it doesn't, you
can add the same functionality by editing the Windows registry, see ":help
install-registry".
- You can create a shortcut (on your desktop or elsewhere) pointing to your
gvim.exe program if you want to be able to start it by clicking an icon or by
dropping a file on an icon, rather than running "gvim.exe" from the dos-box
prompt or the Windows "Execute..." prompt. To do that, click right wherever it
is that you want to create that icon, then select "New -> Shortcut"; the rest
ought to be obvious.
Best regards,
Tony.
