> Cannot properly run commands in the GUI.
You could always run ":!bash", or ":!" ........ Also, wtf "GUI".
Dominic Jackson
That's why I use vi.
Bentley Campbell
Carpenfer Jeniter.
Nicholas Price
You think you're funny but I know her name is actually jenenfer carpiter.
Lucas Parker
What does this mean? I use (Neo)vim for rather basic text editing and occasional code editing, so I don't know the implications.
Ryder Diaz
It means Vim's maintainer is butthurt due to Neovim gaining popularity.
Robert Perry
Dude, just run :!sh
William King
Bram is probably being spiteful. Honestly though, he should just try to make the best Vim possible without those features instead of backtracking on his decision. Or at the very least, he should make them compatible instead of this half assed display of "they weren't how I would do it." Because of the chasing after neovim shenanigans, I've replaced /usr/bin/vi with ex-vi on all of my VMs and Replaced vim with neovim on my desktop.

Why is this better than just using :! ?

You can simply CTRL-Z. When you fg all your file is right where you left it.
also :r! to read command output right into your file.
:r!date
Nathaniel Reyes
yay?
Lincoln Torres
Why shitty pic tho? What's the relevance?
Isaac Bennett
>when the admin fucked up and gave you sudo for vi and less
Never abused it but I was really tempted.
Ryder Garcia
I'm confused, what does this do? Why is it needed? Cant you just save the file you are working on in vim, then work in the terminal, then return to vim?
Bentley Adams
Simplicity. I run the program I just compiled in vim, and it's nice to be able to scroll the output unlike with :!.

>save, work in terminal, open file again.
When you run vim in a terminal, you can just ctrl-z, then fg again when you want vim back.

Dominic Edwards
Fg?

Carter Smith
>GUI
Who the fuck is worried about the GUI? Lol stop breathing.
Julian Green
ctrl-z sends vim to the background and fg brings it back to the foreground. It is like minimizing a window except in the terminal. This way you can hide vim without closing it, run a command then un-hide vim and keep working
Aiden Ortiz
that's what I thought. what are we talking about?
Brandon Turner
Holy shit I never thought of this
Foreground
C-Z pauses the program and puts it in background, fg does the inverse
Christian Walker
ctrl-z, fg, bg, disown.
google shell job control commands
or something like that.
Nathan Perez
Thats a command though right you press fg then enter, not just "f+g" or something
Robert Barnes
why is this bad?
Henry Ortiz
...
Xavier Ortiz
inside vim press and hold ctrl then z, type fg in terminal and hit enter to return.
Daniel Martin
This is awesome. Thank you.
