It works for konsole and mxterm at least, no idea what terminal emulators you use.

Konsole "just works" too (at least here it does). And since console vim is so useful for working over ssh anyway, I don't see any reason to have different font settings for vim and gvim.

Vertical real estate is more valuable than the horizontal one since more and more monitors are "wide". Unless you like to rotate it of course. I didn't get the part about the size. Konsole is arbitrarily resizable. I can get > 200 columns even without X using kernel mode setting or the framebuffer driver with the 1920x1200 monitor resolution. In any case, this is off-topic and I really shouldn't have ranted about gvim. The only point I 'm trying to make is that console vim is at least as useful (more useful imho) and deserves to get support for asynchronous input / netbeans interface too :) Regards, Pantelis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
