And I’ve run into times when I wanted macvim to open from a different application without blocking until it finishes running, and other times when I’ve wanted it to block until it finishes running. If you have multiple MacVims floating around your machine, you might not get the right one without setting a VIM_APP_DIR environment variable. If you have two windows and close one, the other one is still open and therefore Vim doesnt exit. Vim exits itself when the last window is closed. Just trying to understand why you think thats inconsistent. There are a few quirks to this old script. MacVim stays open because the terminal window wasnt the last one. It has some extra stuff for making sure parameters are passed correctly. The old mvim file used to search through its own list of locations to find a MacVim app and then launch it. So I copied my mvim from my old computer and just set it up there. Somewhere on stack overflow said to copy the mvim file from MacVim.app into your path, but that didn’t work from me. MacVim is very quick where as there is lag i. I want mvim to be inside of my path so that I know it will definitely work as my visual editor no matter what. After moving from MacVim to terminal vim I've noticed a considerable drop in speed on Unite (mainly on the initial list of files and filter typing). I don’t know of any obvious pros/cons to the new way vs the old way. The new way, – I guess – is to just copy MacVim to applications and then set up an alias in your bash_profileĪlias mvim = '/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/mvim' And its nothing like it was the last time I set up a computer. And then they moved the mvim script inside of the app file. However, it seems there was some arguments about something involving whether the mvim script should open MacVim in a gui, or in the terminal. And there was a readme that said where to copy the bash script. The name of the github page owner isn’t super professional seeming, so the only reason I think I linked to the right page is because if you open a copy of MacVim and go to Help -> MacVim Website and then click on the github page, it takes you to where I linked.įrom there, you need to click on releases at the top of the github page, and just download the dmg for whatever release you want.īack in the day, the dmg contained MacVim.app and mvim a bash script. here it is again. I will admit to running into some issues. I’ve mentioned the github page, and even linked to it. Vim is ranked 1st while MacVim is ranked 14th. It doesn’t actually put MacVim into the applications folder, so you would assume you could just install through homebrew, and copy the app into /Applications from the github release page, but this actually means you have two copies of the MacVim.app and that means double the updates. The biggest benefit to installing through homebrew is that you have mvim available from the terminal right out of the gate. As a result, it doesn’t support the plugins I use. It’s compiled with different support for python and ruby than what you get if you go grab MacVim from the GitHub releases page. ![]()
