Vim - the text editor - for macOS. Contribute to macvim-dev/macvim development by creating an account on GitHub. MacVim supports multiple windows with tabbed editing and a host of other features such as bindings to standard OS X keyboard shortcuts (command-Z, command-V, command-A, command-G, etc.). Many systems ship with a version of Vim that was compiled with the -clipboard feature disabled, which is a damned nuisance! Being able to access the system clipboard from Vim is an essential feature.

Add the vim into PATH

Windows

The Vim installer will add the %VIM_EXE_DIR% and the path into system %PATH%. The normal installation path is c:Program Files (x86)Vim (Let call this MVIM_HOME. This directory has all .vimrc files).
You can manually adding the vim into the environment variable

• Start Control Panel > System (pop-up window) > search 'edit system environment variables'
• In Advance System Setting window: Edvironment Variables
  • Edit and Add (for example) c:Program Files (x86)Vimvim81 into PATH variable.

Mac

MacVim installer only copy MacVim.app into Application directory, but it does not add the path into user's .profile file. To enable command line to use mvim command:

• cd $HOME
• vi .profile
  • Find the PATH line. Add this new line before PATH line: MVIM_HOME=/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents
  • Add MVIM_HOME into PATH line: PATH=$MVIM_HOME/bin:...

For Windows, find out the _vimrc and _gvimrc files location

• Start vim, enter :version and :echo $HOME
• The normal setup, the $HOME is c:Users{UID}
• Edit $HOME_gvimrc file.

For Mac, it is user HOME directory, just 'cd' to switch back to $HOME directory.

• Edit $HOME/.gvimrc
