MacVim 7.2 Stable 1.2

Port of the Vim text editor Vim to Mac OS X.
MacVim is a port of the text editor Vim to Mac OS X and is meant to look better and integrate more seamlessly with the Macthan the already existing Carbon port of Vim.

Main features of MacVim:

  • Safari style tabs
  • Multiple windows: use "Application windows" Exposé and Cmd-` to switch between windows
  • Client/server (+clientserver): use the --remote switch and friends to open files; script the server with remote_send() et al.
  • GUI Dialogs: with keyboard shortcuts, no need to use the mouse anymore!
  • Toolbar
  • Font panel: access to all of your fonts, proportional fonts render with fixed advancement
  • Multibyte: with automatic font substitution for wide characters
  • Input methods: use Mac OS X input methods to input non-English languages
  • Transparent backgrounds
  • Full screen editing


    NOTES:
    1. MacVim is "Charityware".
    2. MacVim is still under development and that new snapshots are released (almost) weekly, which means they have not been thoroughly tested and are not guaranteed to work as expected (save often).
    3. MacVim changes at a rapid pace, so you might want to check if there is a later version available on the MacVim project page.
    4. MacVim is released under the New BSD License.

    What's New in This Release:

  • The file open dialog has a check-box to show hidden files (patch by Nico Weber)
  • Partial printing support: Cmd-p opens up Preview.app (Nico Weber)
  • Uses Vim 7.2a BETA source code
  • Latest runtime files
  • Minor bug fixes
