Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim-full
In Ubuntu, the history of commands used within vim is missing.
These are the internal vim commands used when editing text: find and replace,
split windows, open files from within vim, etc.
I have the following in my ~/.vimrc:
set history=1000
Changing the number of lines does not make a difference.
I have these packages installed:
vim
vim-common
vim-gui-common
vim-full
vim-runtime
vim-tiny
This is on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but I've noticed this behaviour also in
past releases.
Output of 'vim --version' shows that '+cmdline_hist' is present.
