well, it would be good if vim itself display in which mode it runs. So then if I run "vim", I get "vi", i will know, ok, i got only the stripped down version because i am in a container and the "extension" is not yet installed. I would very much appreciate it as a user (about 16 years) of the great vim. Usually in a vanilla container, i just want to run an editor quickly to look at a file or quickly edit something - i don't really care about user experience because if I did, I would already customized the container. I wonder if typing vi instead of "vim" on my computer has any effect. I am quite positive that it had at some point in time but not sure about nowadays. clime > > This problem should be solved by user (when he know there is no Vim and > excepts to use Vi, then he creates alias) or by installing vim-enhanced. > > -- > Zdenek Dohnal > Software Engineer > Red Hat Czech - Brno TPB-C > > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
