I wish I could use Ubuntu Mint, but I am on a Mac and have not yet set it up; back when I used to use Mint, I used gedit instead of vim, but if I could use it again I would use vim in Konsole or another teminal-like application. I have never seen the appeal of GVim. Also I am beginning to use tmux, and I do use it with vim, but I am new to it and can't really offer any helpful tips there. -- b -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
