Hi!
I've been using a few GUI versions of Vim and most of them seem to
simply act as a wrapper while everything else remain the same. If one
already uses Vim one is probably familiar enough with the various
keybindings and commands to make navigating menus with a mouse
somewhat redundant.
Wouldn't it be neat if certain elements, such as the line numbers
column, window split borders and statusline could be replaced with
graphical such? I'm thinking that such settings would be separate from
the "normal", e.g. :numbers and :guinumbers, to preserve the status
quo for those who prefer it looking the same as in a terminal.
As an example I find editors that display the line numbers in a
smaller font size make them less obtrusive. This is (probably) not
possible in Vim today as far as I know - it'd most likely screw up the
font rendering, but if such data could be passed on to the GUI it
could be done. It'd still be the same Vim, but when you run GVim it'd
actually take advantage of GTK/Qt/Cocoa/etc.
If it's just about the size of the LineNr font, you can have it changed:
:hi LineNr font=XXX
where XXX is a 'guifont' argument,
:set gfn?
no example given here, it very much depends on the system.
In the help:
:h highlight-font

General question: 9 out of 10 editors provide fancy graphics. Why
should that one innocent remaining editor also get fancy graphics? To
provide users with more choices on the editor market? er ...
The Law of VIM states:
Sooner or later everyone wants everything as an option.
so true ...
