Name
evim
Synopsis
evim [options] [file...] eview [options] [file...]
evim starts the graphical
version of vim in “easy mode,”
whereby editing uses point-and-click. This makes vim feel like the very simple text
editor found on some non-Unix operating systems. It should be used
only by people who can’t handle regular vim. eview is the same as evim but it starts up in read-only mode
(equivalent to the -R option). See also vim and Chapter 9.
Solaris supplies evim in
/opt/sfw/bin, and evim is installed by default if you
build vim from source. On
GNU/Linux, you can make a symbolic link named evim to gvim and it will work. On Mac OS X, you
can link regular vim to
evim, and it will work inside
a terminal window. To access the ex prompt (so that you can exit, for
example), type CTRL-O :.
