Thanks.
Which version are you using? Pasting the first few lines of the stdout output of "vim --version" (without the quotes, at a shell prompt) ought to be enough. For me it says the following: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 13 2015 21:11:46) Included patches: 1-898 Compiled by antoine.mechely...@skynet.be Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): The rest (and there is a lot of it) is less interesting to solve your problem. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
