NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       evim [options] [file ..]
       eview

DESCRIPTION

       eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor.  This is still Vim but used as
       a point-and-click editor.  This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.  eVim will  always  run  in
       the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.

       Only  to  be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal way.  Editing will be much less
       efficient.

       eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works just like evim -R.

       See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.

       The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
       Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows keys.  CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies
       text and CTRL-V pastes text.  Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.

OPTIONS

       See vim(1).

FILES

       /usr/share/vim/vim81/evim.vim
                      The script loaded to initialize eVim.

AKA

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