VIM for TOS

Post by chronicthehedgehog »

If you like Vim you might like my port of 7.4 for TOS.

https://github.com/simonlaszcz/vimtos

I gave up on trying to collate and fix versions of Stevie. I thought it would be easier to port Vim.

I've added a few extra features like the ability to change resolution and change the palette (for colour scheme, syntax highlighting etc). I thought they could be useful and make it look nice :) There are three versions, tiny (c450k), small and normal (c1Mb).

See readme.txt in the release or this https://github.com/simonlaszcz/vimtos/b ... _atari.txt

Core functionality performs reasonably well on an 8MHz machine but acceleration will be required to make tags and syntax highlighting really usable. Using EmuTOS gives screen updates a major performance boost.

As for the TT and Falcon, I've tested them in Hatari and they seem to work OK but as I don't have any experience with either, there could be bugs.
I've tested it with Geneva/Neodesk and MagiC/Jinnee and it works but is even slower. It's safe to say that it works best from plain TOS.

It works well with Gulam - I have a fork of that with a few bug fixes.
I also have a build of Exuberant Ctags.
