NAME

6       evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing
7

SYNOPSIS

9       evim [options] [file ..]
10       eview
11

DESCRIPTION

13       eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi‐
14       tor.  This is still Vim but used as  a  point-and-click  editor.   This
15       feels  a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.  eVim will always run in
16       the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.
17
18       Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal
19       way.  Editing will be much less efficient.
20
21       eview  is  the  same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works just like
22       evim -R.
23
24       See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.
25
26       The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
27       Mappings are setup to make Copy and  Paste  work  with  the  MS-Windows
28       keys.   CTRL-X  cuts  text,  CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
29       Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.
30

OPTIONS

32       See vim(1).
33

FILES

35       /usr/share/vim/evim.vim
36                      The script loaded to initialize eVim.
37

AKA

39       Also Known As "Vim for gumbies".  When using evim you are  expected  to
40       take  a  handkerchief,  make  a knot in each corner and wear it on your
41       head.
