NAME
evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for
modeless editing
SYNOPSIS
evim [options] [file ..]
eview
DESCRIPTION
eVim starts Vim and sets options
to make it behave like a modeless editor. This is still Vim but
used as a point-and-click editor. This feels a lot like using
Notepad on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in the GUI, to
enable the use of menus and toolbar.
Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the
normal way. Editing will be much less efficient.
eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works
just like evim -R.
See vim(1) for
details about Vim, options, etc.
The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text
directly.
Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows
keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.
OPTIONS
See vim(1).
FILES
- /usr/share/vim/evim.vim
- The script loaded to initialize eVim.
AKA
Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you
are expected to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and
wear it on your head.
