#MACVIM HANGS FULL#
So, to summarize: the rationale behind VimR is to build an editor which offers the full Vim experience, even if I don’t use all features of Vim, but has other convenience features-found in many other editors and in Vim scripts-in a graphical form, improving the whole editing experience. To quote the creator of VimR, Tae Won Ha MacVimFramework is a fork of MacVim which has been tweaked so that it can be used inside other projects. The slightly longer answer, if I follow what people have been saying correctly is that this an implementation of the MacVimFramework. The quick answer is that it is a more visual Vim environment, not dissimilar to MacVim.

So what is VimR (apart from a refined Vim Experience for OS X!)? Note - The version I am using is v0.1.5, the creator has stated in several places that this is still very much a work in progress What is VimR Recently I noticed a post on Hacker News about something called VimR, the full title was VimR - Refined Vim Experience for OS X.Īs someone who a) uses Vim, b) runs OS X and c) enjoys refined experiences this had my attention.
