MacVim Overview

MacVim is a port of the text editor Vim to Mac OS X.

MacVim supports multiple windows with tabbed editing and a host of other features such as:

* bindings to standard OS X keyboard shortcuts (?Z, ?V, ?A, ?G, etc.),
* transparent backgrounds,
* full-screen mode,
* multibyte editing with OS X input methods and automatic font substitution,
* ODB editor support,

and more.

Note: MacVim is in no way connected with http://macvim.org. That site is no longer being maintained and only provides outdated binaries of the old Carbon port of Vim.

The MacVim source code and wiki is now hosted on GitHub: http://github.com/b4winckler/macvim
