From vim Wed Jun 30 08:52:21 2004 From: Gabriel Birke Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 08:52:21 +0000 To: vim Subject: Re: Gvim, Mac OS X and terminal settings Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=vim&m=108858559302602 Now I'm answering myself because I've found out new things (new for me, not for experienced vim users): The reason for the behavior described in the previous mail is that in gvim the terminal type is set to "builtin_gui". This terminal type can not be changed. Now again my question: How can I get a fully functional terminal (readline support, bold character support, color support) environment from gvim? Can I define a termcap file for builtin_gui to make the terminal more comfortable? What capabilities has builtin_gui?
