I think the biggest tip would be to take a look at what features you use least/most and exclude/include them. Using "vim --version" from the command-line or ":ver" within Vim, you can see the multitude of knobs that you can twiddle. For me, I know I'd exclude all the embedded interpreters (Python, Ruby, Perl, Scheme, etc), any international stuff (-arabic -rightleft -gettext -farsi -inconv -hangul_input -keymap -langmap -multi_byte* and perhaps -digraphs), mouse stuff, balloon evaluation, -signs, -profile, -cryptv, -cscope, -emacs_tags, -float, and if it won't have a GUI, exclude all the GUI stuff (clipboard, dialog_gui, GUI_*, etc). If my environment supports its own terminals, I'd exclude builtin_terms too. Additionally, I don't use printing/hardcopy much (only on my Win32 machine at work), so I'd skip those too. You can get a good idea at :help +feature-list as there's a key that tells you whether items are (T)iny, (S)mall, (N)ormal, (B)ig, or (H)uge. If you want to cut fat, attack the Big/Huge items first. Most of my list came from issuing :help +feature-list :set hls :/^[NH].* to highlight the biggest offenders. You can also comb through the list for other things you just don't care about and nuke them as well. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
