Is there a good way to detect if you have a gui version or console?
This query should have been sent to the [email protected] list.
But the answer is yes, see the second example at the top of ":help

Yes, there are in fact two possible answers, corresponding to two
different questions:
- The Subject of this thread: How can I know if Vim is running as a GUI
or in the console?
if has('gui_running')
" running as gvim
else
" running in some console terminal
endif
- The question at the top of the OP's body text: How can I know if this
Vim instance supports GUI mode?
if has('gui')
" this version of Vim can be run as gvim
else
" it cannot
endif
Under Windows, both are equivalent (GUI mode and Console mode require
different executables) but not on Unix-like systems (where a GUI-enabled
executable can also run in Console mode).
Best regards,
Tony.
