| ============================================================================== |
| |
| 1. General *qnx-general* |
| |
| Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. |os_unix.txt| |
| |
| |
| 2. Compiling Vim *qnx-compiling* |
| |
| Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to |
| compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running |
| ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile |
| vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other |
| features you can enable/disable. |
| |
| |
| 3. Terminal support *qnx-terminal* |
| |
| Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options |
| are compiled in, which they are normally. |
| |
| The options that affect mouse support are |'mouse'| and |'ttymouse'|. When |
| using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is |
| supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm |
| will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate from what |
| vim's doing. |
| |
| When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt-RightMouse to open the pterm menu. |
| To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse= |
| |
| |
| 4. Photon GUI *photon-gui* |
| |
| To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise |
| the terminal version will run. For more info - |gui-x11-start| |
| |
| Supported features: |
| :browse command |:browse| |
| :confirm command |:confirm| |
| Cursor blinking |'guicursor'| |
| Menus, popup menus and menu priorities |:menu| |
| |popup-menu| |
| |menu-priority| |
| Toolbar |gui-toolbar| |
| |'toolbar'| |
| Font selector (:set guifont=*) |photon-fonts| |
| Mouse focus |'mousefocus'| |
| Mouse hide |'mousehide'| |
| Mouse cursor shapes |'mouseshape'| |
| Clipboard |gui-clipboard| |
| |
| Unfinished features: |
| Various international support, such as Farsi & Hebrew support, |
| different encodings, etc. |
| |
| This help file |
| |
| Unsupported features: |
| Find & Replace window |:promptfind| |
| Tearoff menus |
| |
| Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them |
| |
| |
| 5. Fonts *photon-fonts* |
| |
| You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option > |
| :set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal |
| < |
| The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be |
| escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using |
| '*' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can |
| select a font. |
| |
| Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and |
| style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the |
| various styles. |
| |
| The options are, |
| s{size} Set the size of the font to {size} |
| b Bold style |
| a Use antialiasing |
| i Italic style |
| |
| Examples: |
| |
| Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing > |
| :set guifont=monospace:s10:a |
| < |
| Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics > |
| :set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i |
| < |
| Select a font with the requester > |
| :set guifont=* |
| < |
| |
| |
| 6. Bugs & things To Do |
| |
| Known problems: |
| - Vim hangs sometimes when running an external program. Workaround: |
| put this line in your |vimrc| file: > |
| set noguipty |
| |
| Bugs: |
| - Still a slight problem with menu highlighting. |
| - When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that |
| doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw |
| bold text it will be all messed up. |
| - The cursor can sometimes be hard to see. |
| - A number of minor problems that can fixed. :) |
| |
| Todo: |
| - Improve multi-language support. |
| - Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar. |
| - Find & Replace dialog. |
| - The clientserver features. |
| - Maybe tearoff menus. |
| |
| - Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external |
| programs. |
