I think it's the first time that I want to install vim to try it. As a Windows user, I always found NotePad++ and other text editor an easier choice but I can now see some powerfull utilities to vim now. Very clear article.


(I'm just throwing tips in comments where I see opportunities to help people who find any of the same niggles I've had over the years.)

Users who want to run Windows vim with no titlebar, create a file _vimrc in your base vim directory (on my windows desktop it's C:\Program Files\Vim). In this, put this line:

    set guioptions-=T


You can control a lot of things with guioptions. I would recommend doing a:

  :help guioptions


You mean toolbar?
