VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the
vi editor. Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is
still very popular. VIM improves on vi by adding new features:
multiple windows, multi-level undo, block highlighting and
more. VIM-X11 is a version of the VIM editor which will run within the
X Window System. If you install this package, you can run VIM as an X
application with a full GUI interface and mouse support.
Install the vim-X11 package if you'd like to try out a version of vi
with graphics and mouse capabilities. You'll also need to install the
vim-common package.
