Hi,
I've tried the new KVim. Nice job even if I'm rather a very basic user of vim and not in position to give a learned opinion.

I'm wondering why in KVim and GVim there are no horizontal slider but only vertical sliders. If you change the font size to 14 of an opened file, you get an enormously large window much bigger than my screen.
If it's possible, keeping the window the same size and getting an horizontal slider would be much nicer.

But maybe it is a problem with vim more than with KVim.

Thanks for the work,
Charles

dunno for sure, but vi in general wraps lines for display purposes.

it is disabled by default.
you can type:

set guioptions=mrbgtT

to get it. there is also a menu option in kvim, but it does not stay across sessions (normal).

btw, put it in your ~/.vimrc so that it stays between sessions.

I can't tell from the site.. I could be blind, but I'm not seeing it. My current version of kvim can't handle remote files via an ioslave (i.e. fish). Does it handle them now? That would rule my pants.

...since sliced bread!

I mean that!

I awaited kvim ever since the first announcement, use it for a couple of weeks now, and am as happy as ... as ... well go figure ;-)

Many, many thanks to the developers!

regards,
tomte
