On Cygwin (32-bit version at least), vi is not vim. $ which vi /usr/bin/vi $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/vi vim-minimal-8.0.0596-1 $ which vim /usr/bin/vim $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/vim vim-8.0.0596-1 If you want to get vim by typing vi, you can use an alias, e.g., alias vi=vim Regards, Gary -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
