It controls the width of your window. The 'textwidth' variable controls the column at which your text will wrap for things like the "format lines" command (:help gq), and it sets the maximum width of text that will be inserted (longer lines will be broken at whitespace). Try this in your .gvimrc: set columns=78 I set columns=78 but when I opened vim editor, I found the editor's column size to be 70. Why?
editor size
After I set textwidth=78 in the .gvimrc and .vimrc, I opened my vim editor and the cursor ends at column 68. Everytime I need manaually drag the editor to make it column 78. Is there a way to make the editor the desired size (column 78)?
textwidth
After I set textwidth=66 in the .gvimrc and .vimrc, I edited my vim file. I tried adding one new word but the the original well-displayed paragraph immediately appeared as if there was no textwidth setting. Why?

a question
I have both vim and gvim app under my applications in the Mac. Both work fine. I typed vim in the terminal and it successfully went yo VIM interface. However, if I typed gvim, there came an error message "-bash: gvim: command not found". If I want to launch gvim from the terminal, what to do
folder
In the vim, how to create a folder and make it permanent? (I tried tools/folding/create folder but it was not a permanent change).
change word
I read the help file of "cw" but really can not understand what it means. I use "/" to get the word i want to replace, then no matter i type :cw or cw, unexpected results show.
open file
In the command mode, i typed :vim filename and got the error message: not an edit command why i can not use :vim to open the file? Linda
restore function
If I wrongly set nnoremap w k in my command mode, how to restore the function of "w"? Linda

But what is the difference between "map" and "nnoremap"? I tested it and they are the same. If so, why use "nnoremap"? Also, I wonder how I can use the help file? I mean though I know "j" means go down one space , i can not image "gj" can solve my question. Thanks again, Linda
multiple search
if type /q, vim will search the letter "q" only for one time. how i can search "q" multiple times? Linda
arrow key
I used arrow keys to move the cursor, but sometimes I will jump from line one to line three, ignoring line two. i have to use mouse to click the place where I want to insert in the line two. Is there anyway to move to line two just using the keyboard. I guess VIM treat the sentence which extends from line one to line two as a whole one s it jumps directly from line one to line three if using the arrow key...
Re: delete in the insert mode
in the command mode, I pushed "shift" and "j" together to join lines. in the insert mode, I pushed "control","shift" and "o" together but it did not work. I am very new to this...
