Gvim For Mac

Vim 8.2 is the latest stable version. It is highly recommended, many bugs have been fixed since previous versions. If you have a problem with it (e.g., when it's too big for your system), you could try version 6.4 or 5.8 instead. To avoid having to update this page for every new version, there are links to the directories. FAQ What is the project status? The current stable release version is 0.4.4.See the roadmap for progress and plans. Is Neovim trying to turn Vim into an IDE? With 30% less source-code than Vim, the vision of Neovim is to enable new applications without compromising Vim's traditional roles. There are many alternatives to Vim for Mac if you are looking to replace it. The most popular Mac alternative is Visual Studio Code, which is free.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 100 alternatives to Vim and loads of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. I am on Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6. Recently I have been advised to start using Gvim, but upon visiting vim.org and trying to decipher information published there in Download tab, I deduced the Gvim is used only for Windows, while Macs can use only MacVim. (1) is it correct that Gvim is used only for Windows, and on Mac I can use only MacVim? Hi, On, at 19:09, Corcoran wrote: I would love a port of MacVim for the Windows platform.

It's not possible to port MacVim to windows, as MacVim relies heavily
on OS X's APIs.
What do you mean by porting MacVim to windows? What does MacVim do
that gvim for windows doesn't do? If I recall correctly, there's some
gvim option that makes it behave more like a windows app (i.e. ctrl-c/
v/x work etc – which overrides the usual vim keybindings for these
keys (especially annoying for ctrl-v)). Your best bet is probably to
make a list of things you want gvim on windows to do and then aks on
vim_users about how to make gvim do that. It probably can do some of
the things with some options. You could write patches for the rest.

Question or issue on macOS:

I am using MacVim (basically gvim for the mac).

If I open macvim from the command line then my $PATH variable will be properly set.

If I open macvim via point and click with the finder, the $PATH variable will NOT be properly set.

Can anyone give me some insight?

Note: I know at least part of my path is set in ~/.bashrc, but I am not sure where the rest of it is set.

Examples:

If I open macvim from the terminal:

And then in MacVim I go:

This is the right path.

When I open the file with the mouse (in finder)

When I go:

Gvim For Mac Free Download

It gives me a little path. Why?

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

I had this same issue but it only appeared after setting my default shell to zsh like so

It seems that there is a bug in the OS X zsh setup. The work around in brief is to merge /etc/zshenv into /etc/zprofile. In my case I didn’t have a /etc/zprofile so just moving over the file did the trick:

sudo mv /etc/zshenv /etc/zprofile

This post describes the solution in more detail.

Solution no. 2:

For me, simply creating a new symbolic link from .zprofile to .zshrc did the trick:

Solution no. 3:

The place to set environment variables
on the Mac for GUI applications (those started via loginwindow, the
Finder, etc.) is ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

Alternately in MacVim you can choose to launch vim processes in a login-shell (look in the preferences).

Vim Macro

For more info see this post.

Solution no. 4:

The difference in the PATHs probably has something to do with the difference between a login shell (logging in) and a non-login shell (bringing up a console).

Gvim For Mac Os X

From the bash man page:


When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell … it looks for ~/.bash_profile…
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc…

What I did to get around this issue was to add the following code to my ~/.bash_profile, telling it to source my ~/.bashrc if it exists:

Hope this helps!
