Hello!
I am new to Vim (and only learning programming), and will be grateful
for your help.
I am on Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6.
Recently I have been advised to start using Gvim, but upon
visiting vim.org and trying to decipher information published
there in Download tab, I deduced the Gvim is used only for
Windows, while Macs can use only MacVim.
Questions:
(1) is it correct that Gvim is used only for Windows, and
on Mac I can use only MacVim?
(2) is MacVim the same as Gvim, i.e. does it have same
features?
(3) I have checked my version of Vim installed on my
computer (I wonder if it came with El Capitan, looks like
it, because I don't recall installing it myself), and if I understood
correctly it doesn't have GUI features. I assume Gvim is the
same as Vim but with GUI, correct?
If yes, how can I add GUI, or shall I install MacVim from scratch?
Here is what I see in my Terminal:
vim --version
