I asked this in vim-use, but only got a reply asking what was in .vimrc and .,gvimrc, neither of which I have, so I thought maybe this might be a Mac question after all.
When I run gvim, I get syntax coloring all over the place, even in USENET posting all the headers and quotes and signatures are color coded. But when I run vim, there's no syntax coloring at all. I went ahead and looked at these: system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc" system gvimrc file: "$VIM/gvimrc" but I don't know if I can merely copy the gvimrc to $HOME/.vimrc without that causing problems. I mean, it SEEMS to work, but what do I know. Since I am hear, I'd like to ask a couple of other questions. 1) why does MacVim look different from vim even with identical rc files? (MacVim uses a white background, vim a black one as is right and proper). 2) how do I integrate spell-checking into vim (both gvim and vim)? 3) I have "Open files from applications in the current window with a tab for each file" selected in the preferences, but when I issue the following: % vim file1 file2 I do not get tabs, and have to use :n to go to the next file. -- I WILL NOT FAKE RABIES Bart chalkboard Ep. 8F07 -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
