I used to love the terminal.app for many reasons.
I especially liked the way I could navigate to a file and edit using vim it all in one app, without having to leave the keyboard.
But, since the terminal.app doesn't support many of vim's rich features, I decided to make the step to MacVim.
This breaks the symmetry though, I have to use terminal.app to navigate to a file, edit in MacVim (using mvim
of course), quit MacVim and open up the terminal again.
Isn't there a way to use MacVim in stead of terminal to do all this? I'm not talking about iTerm 2
etc, these apps don't cut is for me. I'm talking about true unix command line in MacVim..
This should be possible, I guess, only... is it?
vim
, right?vim
command line app, that's actually the whole point. My guess was that MacVim uses some sort of command line interface which you don't get to see because it is always invim
mode. exiting thisvim
mode in macvim means exiting macvim. But what if that could be disabled?
