Guilford Ave +Indianapolis IN 46220 USA + +============================================================================== +1. Filename Convention *mac-filename* + +You can use either the unix or mac path separator or a mix of both. In order +to determine if the specified filename is relative to the current folder or +absolute (i.e. relative to the "Desktop"), the following algorithm is used: + + If the path start by a "/", the path is absolute + If the path start by a ":", the path is relative + If the path doesn't start by neither a "/" nor ":", + and a ":" is found before a "/" then the path is absolute +> + :e /HD/text + :e HD:text +< Edit the file "text" of the disk "HD" > + :e :src:main.c + :e src/main.c +< Edit the file "main.c" in the folder "src" in the current folder > + :e os_mac.c +< Edit the file "os_mac.c" in the current folder. + +You can use the |$VIM| and |$VIMRUNTIME| variable. > + + :so $VIMRUNTIME:syntax:syntax.vim + +============================================================================== +2. .vimrc and .vim files *mac-vimfile* + +On the Mac files starting with a dot "." are discouraged, thus the rc files +are named "vimrc" or "_vimrc" and "gvimrc" or "_gvimrc". These files can be in +any format (mac, dos or unix). Vim can handle any file format when the +|'nocompatible'| option is set, otherwise it will only handle mac format +files. + +============================================================================== +3. Mac FAQ *mac-faq* + +Q: I can't enter non-ASCII character in Apple Terminal. +A: Under Window Settings, Emulation, make sure that "Escape non-ASCII + characters" is not checked. + +============================================================================== +4. Mac Lack *mac-lack* + +-The filenames containing both ":" and "/" are sometimes misinterpreted. + (just re-execute the command) +-Scrollbar are not scrolling live, and when only the arrow or scroll area, + a limit of 32 line or page is scrolled. +-Syntax highlighting works on 68k Macs but is _really_ slow. + +============================================================================== +5. Mac Bug Report *mac-bug* + +When reporting any Mac specific bug or feature change, please use the vim-mac +maillist |vim-mac|. However, you need to be subscribed. An alternative is to +send a message to the current MacVim maintainers: + + mac@vim.org + +============================================================================== +6.
