[9fans] Announcing Vim for Plan 9

[9fans] Announcing Vim for Plan 9

[stefanha]

I am porting Vim and have made the first tarballs available.  See
http://vmsplice.net/9vim.html.

If you are interested, please try it and let me know how it goes.  It
is usable, but do not rely on it yet.

Things that currently do not work:
 * Shell execution (including :sh, !, :make, vimdiff, man page
viewing, and suspend)
 * Mouse
 * Some unicode characters appear not to be fixed width
 * Startup is slow

so, is the color scheme fixed? can we get something resembling gvim's
"delek" color scheme (black letters on white background, light grey
selections)? that would make vim stand out against everything else
much less.

"colo delek" in $home/lib/vimrc doesn't seem to work

but "colo evening" does, so it should be possible

i thought :colorscheme only worked for vim -g :)

oh well, here's a reproducible bug:

start vim, type :colorscheme ron (or whatever you like from
/lib/vim/vimfiles/color/), hit 'i', try to type some text. crash log
attached.

A question in total innocence: What does Vim really buy you?

it buys you a negative. I won't have to hear people whine any more about
"where is vi?". So it's one less complaint.

One less buzzing sound in my ears. All good.

Oh, and I personally like the tags stack.

and syntax highlighting. two rabbits with one shot (sorry, glenda)

I have fixed color scheme loading and made the default colors black
for foreground and white for background.  Will roll new tarballs
tomorrow.

The colors and background=dark are hardcoded at the moment.  Since all
graphics is being done inside Vim, I might hook :set background=light
to change the background color to white and foreground to black.

To tweak the source, look at src/os_plan9.c:init_colors.  Try:
cterm_normal_bg_color = 16;
cterm_normal_fg_color = 1;

Note that loading color schemes with :colo appears to crash (reported
by fgb).  I am fixing that right now.
