You will need to make a copy of your '.vimrc', re-name it 'v', and save it to the desktop. You need this step because the Mac file open dialog will not see the .vimrc file because it is a unix hidden file. When you get it on the ios device you will need to re-name it back to '.vimrc'. Now: + connect ios device to the Mac with usb + open iTunes + click on the ios device mounting icon + at the bottom click the vim icon + click the Add... button, you will NOT use 'Save to...' button + use the file open dialog to browse to your 'v' file + select it and click Open The 'v' file will show in the list above the Add... button and it has been transferred to the ios device. You do not use the 'Save to...' button when transferring to the ios device, only when transferring from the ios device to Mac. Note: strings in '...' single quotes are to be typed LITERALLY but without the single quotes. Now for the tricky part: + open vim on the ios device + type this LITERALLY 'nm <lf> <cr>' then press return - that will map linefeed to carriage return + type ':E' then press return (note uppercase 'E') + you should now be browsing the file system and - see the 'v' file + use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard + use one finger to select the 'v' file + select the 'v' file and type 'R' for Rename + delete the 'v' and type '.vimrc' - because you do not have cursor keys + use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard + use one finger to select the '.vimrc' file - then press return + you should now be back in vim looking at your .vimrc file! + add 'nm <lf> <cr>' to your '.vimrc' file Bill -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
