vim without gvim?
I've been using vi and clones since around 1984, so I'm pretty much
married to them. I've just started dabbling with a pure xubuntu install, and found that my naïve addition of vim also pulled in a huge bunch of other packages, including gnome libraries that I'd prefer to not have. I don't really want a GUI editor, as I learned vim without a mouse and consider the mouse a hindrance for almost everything except menus and explicily graphical chores. Is there a keyboard-only vim package, or will I have to roll my own? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |

It would seem you've installed vim-gnome... which is the gui version. If you'd installed vim [7.2] you'd have got what you wanted. nvi if you want a pure vi version. james -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |

I reinstalled 12.04 and found that any of {vim-tiny, vim, vim-nox} would leave out the GUI stuff. Must have been a brain fart. I opted for vim-nox. If I want a GUI, I might try vim-gtk since there are already GTK libraries installed on the system. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |
