egvim

SYNOPSIS

       evim [options] [file ..]
       eview

DESCRIPTION

       eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like  a
       modeless  editor.   This is still Vim but used as a point-
       and-click editor.  This feels a lot like using Notepad  on
       MS-Windows.   eVim  will  always run in the GUI, to enable
       the use of menus and toolbar.

       Only to be used for people who really can't work with  Vim
       in the normal way.  Editing will be much less efficient.

       eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works
       just like evim -R.

       See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.

       The 'insertmode' option is set to be  able  to  type  text
       directly.
       Mappings  are  setup  to make Copy and Paste work with the
       MS-Windows keys.  CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and
       CTRL-V  pastes  text.   Use  CTRL-Q to obtain the original
       meaning of CTRL-V.

OPTIONS

       See vim(1).

FILES

       /usr/share/vim/vim62/evim.vim
                      The script loaded to initialize eVim.

AKA

       Also Known As "Vim for gumbies".  When using evim you  are
       expected  to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each cor­
       ner and wear it on your head.
