OK. Well, I've found one reason it doesn't work, which is documented! One of the main things I need is composing characters which are not yet supported. There are a couple of reasons I didn't find the documentation earlier: 1. The snapshot archives contain multiple items at the top level. This is fairly nonstandard IMHO. I am in the habit of grabbing distribution files and unarchiving them in a folder full of other files and then finding the single folder that the archive contains. Could I suggest doing the same with MacVim, i.e. rather than providing the snapshots containing MacVim.app, README and mvim all at the top level, provide them containing a single folder MacVim which contains the other stuff. 2. There is no mention of gui_mac.txt at the top of gui.txt in the (patched) help files! This should definitely be added, circa line 20 in gui.txt. Could I also suggest moving the bulk if not all of the content of the README into the help files? Even though some of it is snapshot related, it is a much more accessible place, given Vim's excellent help facility. I will get to moving the clipboard support and providing more details on the trouble with right-to-left stuff later. Cheers, Ben.
