Re: Getting point and click going with gvim on Alma Linux

[Andrew Bernard]

Thanks David,

I'll incorporate your suggestions. Note that this was specifically about 
gvim not vim, but I can add in vim as well, since it is so closely 
related. There's still stuff here that is not covered in the NR,. such 
as window focus with the mouse that I think is useful. However, looking 
more closely now at the NR it looks like this file was a waste of time, 
as it is all covered the now. [I wonder if some bits came from my 
original screed? :-)] I'm guilty of not reading the current NR closely. 
Incidentally I use EDITOR for everything, not a different editor for 
lilypond, but that's a valid point re LYEDITOR. My notes reflect my bias.

The gvim annoying error message and press ENTER to continue is still not 
resolved even in version 9 but I am determined to find an answer even it 
it means patching the source code. Currently it really makes gvim much 
less felicitous than it ought to be for this application.

I don't know if it is worth mentioning but emacs on Alma Linux at least 
totally carks it when used in this manner with emacs as as server. But 
emacs has the courtesy to print out that this is a known bug, then 
promptly dies!

But my notes are really redundant since the NR does cover pretty much 
all, so I guess the recommendation can be changed to RTNR. :-)
