No Windows version, where I need it. If you are used to Vim then regular editors are dangerous, you find things like '=aB' or 'jjjjj' or 'ZZ' or ':w!' embedded

No Windows version, where I need it.
If you are used to Vim then regular editors are dangerous, you find things like '=aB' or 'jjjjj' or 'ZZ' or ':w!' embedded in one's files, breaking everythng.
On Windows you can't just copy and paste from something edited in a terminal, or copy paste to a terminal to do your editing/saving as there is no 'vi'.
I note this software could be upgraded to work with Windows now there is that Ubuntu subsystem in there somewhere. Perhaps a better way would be to modify the accessibility tools - StickyKeys etc. - to have vim be the universal text entry arrangement even for things like username text boxes, you ':wn' to get to the password field and then type 'i' to start entering a password. Much easier.
- marcoperaza 9y agoThere are vim builds for Windows, both graphical and terminal. You don't need to use the linux subsystem for that.
