My original post was about two problems: 1) MacPorts ignored what was already installed 2) I had two vims, and the original complained about missing features triggered trough my .vimrc
Both these problems are solved and I'd like to share my current setup. For starters, I have removed the MacPorts version of MacVim. I then installed MacVim from http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ which of course still left me with two different vims. I symlinked /usr/bin/vim to /opt/local/bin/vim to solve that problem. (note that ':h macvim-start' refers to /usr/local/bin/mvim, where my original mvim is in /opt/local/bin) I added a 'wait' clause the mvim script to be able to create a gwait symlink and specify that as editor for e.g. the "it's all text" extension which I use in FireFox to edit my gmail: % diff -u /opt/local/bin/mvim.orig ./mymvim --- /opt/local/bin/mvim.orig 2010-11-30 18:31:26.000000000 +0100 +++ ./mymvim 2010-12-14 13:54:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -52,6 +52,9 @@ *view) opts="$opts -R" ;; + *wait) + opts="$opts -f" + ;; *ex) opts="$opts -e" ;; I think that this should be in the default mvim file (ignore the file dates on the diff output, they're not correct) Being a keyboard maniac, I have v, view, vim, vimdiff, g, gview, gviewdiff, gvim, gvimdiff as well as gwait symlinks that all link to the same mymvim (i.e. original mvim edited cfr supra) This setup is quite satisfactory, and maybe it does inspire others.
