MacVim is a version of the Vim text editor for Mac OS X.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160827085726/http://macvim.googlecode.com/files/MacVim-screenshot-10-detail.jpg

MacVim supports multiple windows with tabbed editing and a host of other features such as:

  • bindings to standard OS X keyboard shortcuts (⌘Z, ⌘V, ⌘A, ⌘G, etc.),
  • transparent backgrounds,
  • full-screen mode,
  • multibyte editing with OS X input methods and automatic font substitution,
  • ODB editor support,

and more. Most importantly, MacVim brings you the full power of Vim 7.3 to Mac OS X.

Legacy versions are available for OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. Current build is available for "Lion".

For further details see the MacVim website.
