inside vim :ver has been beautified to list features in as many columns as will fit the window, but out at the bash prompt vim --version seems limited to four columns of features, causing the display to scroll off the top of my screen if i let --version print all of the Compilation and Linking lines
i have attempted to make those last two lines readable with vim --version | awk '!/^Compilation/ && !/Linking/' vim --version | grep '^Compilation' | fmt -w $(( $(tput cols) - 2 )) vim --version | grep '^Linking' | fmt -w $(( $(tput cols) - 2 )) if i want it to fit do i need to write a script to capture the --version output and perform some parsing and tabling magic or is there an option to tell vim to query the system with maybe a call to tput cols -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
