The idea has merit. At the moment, IIUC, Bram's "official" sources can be used on the Mac to build console-only Vim, or to build Vim for MacOS X11. But who uses X11 on the Mac? A native-Mac Vim GUI requires the macvim code. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
