Question

I\'ve installed the latest vim using homebrew and also installed mac-vim from the google code homepage. in mac-vim everything works fine. but when I run vim in terminal.app in m

Answer 1

To make sure that my Terminal is working great with Vim 7.3 in Show Leopard, I have done the following:

1. Installed the latest Vim via Homebrew.
2. Set path to enable the latest Vim. E.g.: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
3. Added export TERM=linux to my .bashrc file.
4. Created a .vimrc file with some options (formerly linked here, link went dead.)

When so is done, everything should work. However, I have experienced that some text don't seem to remove, like its protected until I either dd or x. Has anyone experienced something similar? Also, please share comments on my small guide above.
