Description

Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Many new features have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, script language, etc. There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. Still, Vi compatibility is maintained, those who have Vi "in the fingers" will feel at home. See runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt for differences with Vi. This package of Vim-Classic is a new fork from an older branch point (8.2.148) expected to settle down to slow and quiet maintenance. Flavors: gtk3 - build using the Gtk+3 toolkit lua - build with Lua support python3 - build with Python3 support
