eview
EVIM(1) General Commands Manual EVIM(1) NAME
evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing SYNOPSIS
evim [options] [file ..] eview DESCRIPTION
eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor. This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar. Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal way. Editing will be much less efficient. eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like evim -R. See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc. The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly. Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text. Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V. OPTIONS
See vim(1). FILES
/usr/share/vim/vim72/evim.vim The script loaded to initialize eVim. AKA
Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on your head. SEE ALSO
vim(1) AUTHOR
Most of Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others. See the Help/Credits menu. 2002 February 16 EVIM(1)

jvim
VIM(1) General Commands Manual VIM(1) NAME
vim - Vi IMproved, a programmers text editor SYNOPSIS
vim [options] [file ..] vim [options] -t tag vim [options] -e [errorfile] DESCRIPTION
Vim is a text editor that is upwards compatible to vi. It can be used to edit any ASCII text. It is especially useful for editing programs. There are a lot of enhancements above vi: multi level undo, multi windows and buffers, command line editing, filename completion, on-line help, visual selection, etc.. Read difference.doc for a summary of the differences between vi and Vim. Most often Vim is started to edit a single file with the command vim file More generally VIM is started with: vim [options] [filelist] If the filelist is missing, the editor will start with an empty buffer. Otherwise exactly one out of the following three may be used to choose one or more files to be edited. file .. A list of file names. The first one (alphabetically) will be the current file and read into the buffer. The cursor will be positioned on the first line of the buffer. You can get to the other files with the ":next" command. -t {tag} The file to edit and the initial cursor position depends on a "tag", a sort of goto label. {tag} is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the current file and the associated command is executed. Mostly this is used for C programs. {tag} then should be a function name. The effect is that the file containing that function becomes the current file and the cursor is positioned on the start of the function (see reference.doc, section "tag searches"). -e [errorfile] Start in quickFix mode. The file [errorfile] is read and the first error is displayed. If [errorfile] is omitted the file name is obtained from the 'errorfile' option (defaults to "AztecC.Err" for the Amiga, "errors" on other systems). Further errors can be jumped to with the ":cn" command. See reference.doc section 5.5. OPTIONS
The options, if present, must precede the filelist. The options may be given in any order. -r Recovery mode. The swap file is used to recover a crashed editing session. The swap file is a file with the same file name as the text file with ".swp" appended. See reference.doc, chapter "Recovery after a crash". -v View mode. The 'readonly' option will be set. You can still edit the buffer, but will be prevented from accidently overwriting a file. If you do want to overwrite a file, add an exclamation mark to the Ex command, as in ":w!". The -v option also implies the -n option (see below). The 'readonly' option can be reset with ":set noro" (see reference.doc, options chapter). -b Binary. A few options will be set that makes it possible to edit a binary or executable file. +[num] For the first file the cursor will be positioned on line "num". If "num" is missing, the cursor will be positioned on the last line. +/pat For the first file the cursor will be positioned on the first occurrence of "pat" (see reference.doc, section "pattern searches" for the available search patterns). +{command} -c {command} {command} will be executed after the first file has been read. {command} is interpreted as an Ex command. If the {command} con- tains spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes (this depends on the shell that is used). Example: Vim "+set si" main.c -x (Amiga only) Vim is not restarted to open a new window. This option should be used when Vim is executed by a program that will wait for the edit session to finish (e.g. mail). The ":sh" and ":!" commands will not work. -o[N] Open N windows. When N is omitted, open one window for each file. -n No swap file will be used. Recovery after a crash will be impossible. Handy if you want to edit a file on a very slow medium (e.g. floppy). Can also be done with ":set uc=0". Can be undone with ":set uc=200". -s {scriptin} The script file {scriptin} is read. The characters in the file are interpreted as if you had typed them. The same can be done with the command ":source! {scriptin}". If the end of the file is reached before the editor exits, further characters are read from the keyboard. -w {scriptout} All the characters that you type are recorded in the file {scriptout}, until you exit VIM. This is useful if you want to create a script file to be used with "vim -s" or ":source!". -T terminal Tells Vim the name of the terminal you are using. Should be a terminal known to Vim (builtin) or defined in the termcap file. -d device Open "device" for use as a terminal. Only on the Amiga. Example: "-d con:20/30/600/150". SEE ALSO

I’m using Pathogen with a few plugins, I tried disabling them all, except for Pathogen, and a couple related to the colorscheme. The error happens with every file I tried. I tried both open files in the same directory I launched vim (my home dir), and also in subdirectories.
Steps to reproduce:
- start vim
- press ctrl-p
- enter a few letters
- press enter
This is the output of :mess after the error, I don’t know how to tell you more. When I start vim in my home, with about 10000 files, I also noticed there is one more error in init. I didn’t notice before because I started vim in a directory with not so many files.

This question is inspired by Getting ‘git grep’ to work effectively in VIM.
My .vim/vimrc
entries are similar to those in the question:
command -nargs=1 Ggr execute 'silent Git! grep -Win --heading' <q-args>
nnoremap <C-F> :Ggr <cword><CR>
The Ggr
command works. Unfortunately Ctrl-F produces a nasty error:
Error detected while processing function <SNR>33_Git[2].. <SNR>33_Edit[53]..<SNR>33_Edit[36]..<SNR>33_ExecuteInTree:

umm… have you used vi before? if not, there are other editors like emacs and nano etc. that might be simpler to learn
anyway, vi has two modes, the command mode and insert mode. it starts in the command mode, where you can move around and do commands. the command «i» goes into the insert mode. when in insert mode, pressing Esc will go back into command mode

Hey there,
If that’s the default behaviour of your vi, you can put this in a .exrc file in your home directory, but, while you’re in the editor, just type
[esc]:set prompt
If it is that you’re starting in command mode and never getting out — hitting
i — will put you in insert mode
a — will put you in insert mode also, but one space ahead
o — will do the same but start a new line below the one you’re one
O — will do the same but start a new line above the one you’re on
As mentioned above, when you want to stop typing and use the command functions, hit [esc]
Best wishes,
, Mike
