Hi! I hit the problem in vim yesterday when I wanted to run fish shell (http://fishshell.org) within vim and soon got informed that the problem is that Vim expects to see posix-compliant shell which fish is not.
Googling a bit brought me to this thread http://tinyurl.com/3cgns7 which provides 'workaround', i.e. putting something like: if $SHELL =3D~ 'fish' set shell=3D/bin/sh endif at the beginning of one's ~/.vimrc. However, the 'workaround' means only to be able to use shell with vim when one has fish as default shell, but not using fish. Short discussion on #vim confirmed that, somehow, vim has posix- compliancy hardwired, so the question is if there is some prospect in the future that vim can execute posx non-compliant shells like fish? After switching to xmonad WM, i (mostly) replaced gvim with vim running it in fullscreen session and I'd be more than happy being able to jump into my default (fish) shell to perform e.g. darcs-related tasks and not having to switch to another fish term. Moreover, after 'discovering' the shell-problem, I was quickly ridiculed by some emxxx users :-( Sincerely, Gour --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
