evim(1)
NAME
evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for mode
less 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 pointand-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/vim62/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 cor
ner and wear it on your head.
