I'll suppose you mean "convince kdevelop to use Vim", not "away from" using
Vim. I don't use kdevelop myself, but I think the following should work:
1. Open Konqueror.
2. Type
settings:/Components/
in the Location Bar.
3. Click "Vim Embedding".
4. In the popup which opens now, open the tab "Vim Executable Selection"
5. Select the radio button "Vim/X11 Communication" (if it is greyed out, then
proceed with steps 6 and 7 below and select the radio button after doing them).
6. Click the "Browse" button (usually a blue folder-like icon) next to the top
type-in bar, and browse to the location of your Vim executable (e.g.
/usr/local/bin/vim ). It must be a Vim executable with at least +gui and
+clientserver compiled-in; +eval is "recommended".
7. If you click "Test", it will display whether this Vim executable has GUI
and client-server features compiled-in, and at which version. Depending on
your GUI version, there may be a popup warning; but if you're using an
up-to-date binary it shouldn't be a problem.
8. Click OK to close the popup. Close Konqueror if you don't need it for
something else.
9. In kdevelop, select Settings -> Configure KDevelop -> Editor, and make sure
that "Embedded Editor" is set to "Embedded Advanced Text Editor". Then click OK.
If that doesn't work, you may need to search the KDE help; but I hope the
above can put you on the right track.
Best regards,
Tony.
