when you compile vim this way, do you get the menus also, or is that only gvim? About the only thing I do by menu is change the color scheme, because I never remember the commands (nor the scheme names, for that matter). Different schemes can be useful for different lighting conditions and different monitors.
- pyre 16y agoThe menus are only drawn in gvim. It doesn't draw them in the terminal like Emacs. The colorscheme command is ":colorscheme <scheme>" or ":colors <scheme>". It tab-completes to the scheme names that it has accessible to it, so you don't really need the menu. This is useful even in the terminal due to 256-color support (":set t_Co=256" if it doesn't auto-detect this for you). There are also a couple of plugins that will auto-convert gvim-only (aka fullcolor) colorschemes into 256-color schemes when you are in a 256-color terminal.
