Installation

Install one of the following two packages:

  • vim - Python 2/3, Lua, Ruby, and Perl interpreter support, but no GTK/X support
  • gvim - In addition to providing the same functionality as vim an image interface is also available.

Attention:

  • The vim package does not contain Xorg support. A s a result, Vim is missing the feature of the +clipboard and Vim is not able to interact with the X11 primary and clipboard shears. The gvim package provides a command-line version of Vim with a +clipboard while fully supporting the graphical interface.
  • Unofficial source herecura also offers a large number of Vim/gVim variants: vim-cli vim-gvim-common vim-gvim-gtk vim-gvim-qt vim-rt and vim-tiny
