Hi.
I'm a vi user :-)
I recently started using cygwin, so forgive me if this is an obvious
one. I want to use vi under cygwin but I'm having trouble with
terminal settings.
apparently these are the possible term settings.
builtin_ansi
builtin_xterm
builtin_iris-ansi
builtin_dumb
However, none of these work right.
Can someone advise me on the term settings for windows XP/cygwin or
point me to an appropriate resource.
Just to clarify: if you use the default cmd.exe "console" window
(i.e., the default Cygwin shortcut), then your TERM is "cygwin". If
you use rxvt or xterm, you'd use TERM="xterm", of course...
HTH,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm using rxvt. I use the following in cygwin.bat:
bash --login -i -c 'rxvt -geometry 80x29 -sb -sl 10000 -bg Black -fg green -bd
LightSeaGreen -fn Courier -font 7x15'
I've tried setting
term=builtin_xterm -> bad characters when using cursor, no
backspace=delete to previous line as in vim set backspace=2, no info
telling me which mode I'm in.
term=ansi, backspace=2 -> no mode info, backspace deletes but screen
doesn't show deletions until next insert (annoying, not workable)
If there are any cygwin users on XP who have a nicely working vi, please
let me know what your settings are.
I use vi under XP all the time. Here are my settings:
:set
--- Options ---
background=dark isprint=@,129-255 scroll=11 term=cygwin
nocompatible laststatus=2 shell=/bin/sh visualbell
incsearch ruler shiftwidth=2 nowrapscan
formatoptions=tcroq
shortmess=filnxtToOI
If you wish, I could also email you the output of ':set all' off-list...
HTH,
No need.
The 'set nocompatible' did it.
I used some of the others including laststatus as well.
Thanks muchly.
