Sounds like the command being passed to your shell is not working. I
myself use
function man
{
gvim -c "Man $*" -c "silent! only"
}
and that works fine for me. So, to determine what's going on with your
setup:
* enable debugging for manpageview:
o get the Decho.vim plugin if you don't already have it:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120
-or-
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#DECHO
(this latter one is always the most up-to-date)
o vim manpageview.vim
:DechoOn
:wq
(editing the file and typing :DechoOff will turn the debugging off)
* Please send me a copy of the text in the "Decho Tab" .
FYI: there should a line such as
|(nrml) exe silent keepjumps r!man 'ls'
which I got by enabling debugging and doing a "man ls".
This command is what is sent to your o/s (which is what, by the way?);
normally
aliases and expansions aren't applied/made to it so the "man" command is
simply the one
found on your PATH. It'd be good to know what the basic command is
doing; to avoid the
aliasing and expanding, just use the full path; something like
/usr/bin/man 'ls'
If you're using windows+cygwin, then check your vim/shell settings.
I've found the following useful:
set shell=bash
set shq=
set sxq=\"
set ssl
set shcf=-c
set sp=>&
