6. Bugs & things To Do
==============================================================================
1. General *qnx-general*
Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. |os_unix.txt|
2. Compiling Vim *qnx-compiling*
Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to
compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running
./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile
vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other
features you can enable/disable.
3. Terminal support *qnx-terminal*
Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options
are compiled in, which they are normally.
The options that affect mouse support are |'mouse'| and |'ttymouse'|. When
using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is
supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm
will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate from what
vim's doing.
When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt-RightMouse to open the pterm menu.
To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse=
4. Photon GUI *photon-gui*
To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise
the terminal version will run. For more info - |gui-x11-start|

Unsupported features:
Find & Replace window |:promptfind|
Tearoff menus
Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them
5. Fonts *photon-fonts*
You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option >
:set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal
<
The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be
escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using
'*' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can
select a font.
Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and
style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the
various styles.
The options are,
s{size} Set the size of the font to {size}
b Bold style
a Use antialiasing
i Italic style
Examples:
Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing >
:set guifont=monospace:s10:a
<
Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics >
:set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i
<
Select a font with the requester >
:set guifont=*
<
6. Bugs & things To Do
Known problems:
- Vim hangs sometimes when running an external program. Workaround:
put this line in your |vimrc| file: >
set noguipty
Bugs:
- Still a slight problem with menu highlighting.
- When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that
doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw
bold text it will be all messed up.
- The cursor can sometimes be hard to see.
- A number of minor problems that can fixed. :)
Todo:
- Improve multi-language support.
- Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar.
- Find & Replace dialog.
- The clientserver features.
- Maybe tearoff menus.
- Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external
programs.
