2010-03-06 Thread James Beck
I'm guessing wildly here, but the main difference between running :make! in Vim and running make in the shell, is that Vim must, after invoking make, parse the output for errors. It is quite possible that the extra time taken is the time needed for Vim to parse the make output into the quickfix

You can :set rightleft to reverse the whole split-window in gvim, or (on Linux) you can run Vim in a true-bidi terminal such as mlterm. When $TERM is mlterm at startup, Vim sets 'termbidi' which means that the terminal, not Vim, is in charge of bidirectional text display. Thanks! However,
