Ok I didn't know some shells do it (interpret literal ~ in PATH), but other shells don't. This turns out to be shell-dependent thing: Shell Interprets literal~ in PATH ? ------- ----------------- bash yes tcsh no csh no ksh no zsh no dash no (posix-compatible shell) ash no (another posix-compatibl shell) ------- ----------------- If you insist on having literal ~ in your $PATH, then adding this line to ~/.vimrc will fix results of executable(): let $PATH=substitute($PATH,'\~',$HOME,'g') -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
