Vim Anywhere

[Eric Weir]

I would like to use Vim to compose and edit text in—or for—documents in other apps.

I have Vim Anywhere. <https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere> It works fine. One minor issue: Vim is slow in responding when invoked.

I haven’t a clue how to go about addressing it. Suggestions appreciated.

What Vim are you using? Since you are posting to vim_mac, I'm guessing it's MacVim? Is it only slow when invoked and then go back to normal? As in, when exactly does the issue start and end when using the plugin?

Also, standard questions about what versions of your OS and MacVim etc.

Thanks for responding. Yes, it’s MacVim. It's slow to open. Once open it function normally

I installed it in terminal with the script provided by the developer. It installed in root ~/.vim-anywhere. I thought it might load more quickly if it was installed in my vim folder, but my vim-plug didn’t find it, even though it’s in a GitHub any repository.

macOs is 11.7.3, MacVim is 9.0.1276

I think the question is whether it's only slow when using vim-anywhere (versus opening MacVim being slow regardless). If it is only slow when using vim-anywhere, then you should probably file an issue there and ask them to diagnose it.

Thanks. Recently I’ve noticed some quirkiness that seems to be at system level, not app level, including slow responses to commands. It occurred to me that the slowness of Vim’s appearance with Vim Anywhere might also derive from that.
