Topic: vi syntax highlight

[kruhm]

Hi Everyone,

How do I get vi to run /usr/bin/vim?

In SME v8:

Code: [Select]

vi filename
runs /bin/vi and syntax highlighting is off.

In SME v7:

Code: [Select]

vi filename
runs /usr/bin/vim and syntax highlighting is on.

Thanks in advance.

Well here's how I did it...

Code: [Select]

vi ~/.bashrc
Add a line:

Code: [Select]

alias vi='/usr/bin/vim'
Save it:

Code: [Select]

:wq
Logout and log back in.

Now

Code: [Select]

vi filenamenow runs /usr/bin/vim and sytax highlighting is on.
