Vim for RISC OS 5?

There seems to be more to it than that. What am I missing? I just get a black window.

It might be you’re using a version of Nettle that hasn’t been rebuilt to work on armv8. The version available via PackMan should work.

That’s better. Thank You.

The defaut window size to small for my files.

But if I resize the window to 160 columns, I get a wider window, but Vim still wraps at 80 characters.

You can change the default size from the Choices menu.

Sorry, I was looking in the Resize option in the Window.

It is all good, now. Thank You.

If you disable the mouse then you can use menu over the window to change the size.

:set mouse-=a

Wow! Thank you. :)) I have it running on my Pi4.

Has anyone been able to switch on colour syntax highlighting (c-mode)? If you have it working. How did you do it?

I like it.

But, what would by really useful, would be to run in a Telnet window to another Pi.

I have tried with both !Igor and !NetTask with no success.

It sort of works. The zip download has been updated to handle RISC OS paths a bit better. There’s also a default vimrc file.
Once you’ve downloaded the updated version copy the ‘!Vim.runtime.syntax’ folder to !UnixHome.home./vim. Create the /vim folder if it doesn’t exist.

Run VIM and type ‘:set filetype=c’. You should now see bright colours. They can be changed in the Nettle ‘Choices→Colours’.

Thanks for the update, its improving :) I had a quick look at cscope, make and colorscheme vim commands, but I couldn’t do much with them.

I also spotted that you’d fixed the help system, thank you :)
