Apparently yes. :set columns=50 does not resize the terminal window. Don't know what is trapping this in vanilla Ubuntu. It's not just gnome-terminal; I can't resize any terminal window from within vim, nor with "export COLUMNS=50" on the command line. But gvim resizes just fine. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
