I've always had [EMAIL PROTECTED]@#$ problems when using vi/vim within Cygwin, until I recently (got off my lazy butt;-) copied over my /etc/vim/vimrc file over to the Cygwin box.
The issues I would have with Cygwin's default install of vim would be that the cursor and delete keys would fail to work properly. Is there a way to review & import other distro's default vimrc file into the Cygwin Distro? On a side, note, I usually do also port over my .bashrc file which gives me color folders and prompt enhancements. I find using a color term (which provides color for folders) makes the working in the term more usable. I think a small enhancement to the default bashrc (to atleast provide color for folders) and fixing the default vimrc file to enable proper cursor/delete keys -- along with color within vim -- definitely makes Cygwin much much much easier & useful!!! This probably should be at the top of the list of things to fix by now. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
