Hmm. Perhaps this was the wrong mailing list. I'll repost on vim users
mailing list.
Changing settings is something that I and perhaps many other users don't do
often, so it's less familiar than other parts of vim. It would be a great
development if it were easier to change settings by having a curses menu driven
interface (obviously without replacing the existing command line input).
Recently, I wanted to change the syntax highlighting language, but even
after spending 15 minutes reading the documentation I got fed up and
gave up. It really shouldn't be that hard. A menu-driven interface could
solve this by just letting the
user pick out settings from a list and likewise choose from possible
values.
I have been using vi[m] for 20 years and it as always been my editor of choice.
Even though I use it for hours a day, one area has always proved to be a pain:
changing settings.
Cheers,
Parker
