Does vim do it's own TTY / terminal extension, or does it use the one in Win10.What do you mean with "terminal extension"? Vim runs in the console, can use the Windows terminal and also has a built-in terminal emulator.
---- Sorry I meant the graphical version of vim -- gvim. This came out of the note entitled "RedHat Athena: GUI vim is extremely slow using terminal" by "Aleksandr JakuĊĦev", date+time 2021/05/07 07:57(PDT).
He said the new ":term" function in Gvim_v8 (wasn't in V7) was really slow, example: ":term ls -l" takes several minutes to run. I couldn't try to repeat his problem at the time because I still was running gvim 7.x on my linx at the time. Anyway, got that upgraded and realized I could also use the gvim running natively on Windows as it was also at 8.2.2803. (running on linux, displaying on Windows).
I.e. I thought someone said they didn't think it would work under Win7?The Windows terminal is not available in Windows 7.
yeah, but the gvim ":term" feature doesn't use the Windows terminal feature, so it works regardless. What I notice as a bit 'odd' is that the emulated terminal feature set isn't consistent. For example, I have a shellscript to show 24-bit color (attached). The native Win version, _maybe_ has 256 colors at most. but definitely not 24-bit: VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Apr 23 2021 22:01:55) MS-Windows 64-bit GUI version with OLE support Included patches: 1-2803 Compiled by appveyor@APPVYR-WIN Huge version with GUI. But in the Cygwin version: VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2.486 Mod+compiled by <cyg...@cygwin.com> Huge version with GTK3 GUI. as well as a linux version(s) (displayed on same cygwin-X): Vim 8.2.3204 Compiled by 'http://www.opensuse.org/' Huge version with GTK3 GUI. 24-bit color fully works and is fast! Why would vim's terminal emulation be different and less capable using native Win calls, vs. when it's displayed via 'X'? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
