Thanks for reporting this. It would be great if you could create an issue for this on github, https://github.com/sodero/MUI-Vim, so it's not forgotten. I've promised myself to give some love to Vim once my Tabor is here, not next week exactly, but better than never. Kas1e is quick though, he might feel tempted
@All sTix still working on giving us the latest vim with MUI GUI, and since the last discussion in this topic, there were few releases, the last of which I also uploaded on os4depot (in upload query for now).
Update worth because it for first keeping in sync with main's vim repo (so fixes and stuff on the core), and for second in the last release there was fixed issue with spawning an empty shell window on start.
@kas1e I tested this version as downloaded from Aminet a few days ago. It is great having the latest version of vim for our system. And of'course, even a small fix, like removeing the empty shell, is so nice to have. And I bet it was a tricky one.
Thank you stix for all the work you do.
In the package there is also a lite gvim executable. Unfortunately, there is not enough information about it. What are the differences against the full version?
There are two executables in the archive, gvim for the full MUI version, and vi (or vim, can't remember) for the CLI only version which works as it should now, there was a problem with shell window size / resize before, but that's solved now. I did a separate build for that, it was the easiest solution, I dont't want to fiddle around to much with the terminal magic in Vim.
Yes, there is :) That, and MUI tabs, is something that would be nice to have. I really need to finish another project of mine first though (and it's sort of big, so it will take some time, a *lot* more than I initially thought).
Annoying, I can't reproduce the 'exchange' problem in MorphOS. I hope that Tabor early bird thing ends up in my mail before I die, working with Amiga Forever is just painful.
Yesterday I uploaded a new version (based on the latest upstream version) to Aminet that makes the console build a bit more attractive. All 8 colors are used now. Looks pretty good, not sure if I would have done the MUI thing if it had looked like this from the start. I don't know about the performance though, on Amiga Forever it's a lot slower (if you use a lot of split windows atleast) than the MUI build, but I guess it's a completely different story on the X5000. I just ordered one of those BTW, got sick and tired of waiting for the Tabor.
