To use Vim under powershell in MS Windows, set &shell=powershell and &shellcmdflag=-c.
However, if &shell=powershell and &shellcmdflag=-c, then tempname() returns a file name with forward slashes because 'powershell' contains 'sh' and '-c' starts with '-'. Then again, if instead &shellcmdflag=\ -c, that is, a leading space is added, then tempname() uses backward slashes. Because powershell expects backward slashes, the second setup is better but also less intuitive. How about a note in the documentation of &shellcmdflag? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
