I just wan't to try out the menu support in vim, but it isn't enabled per default and their seems to be no use flag for this, so I want to ask if this could be fixed. According to :help emenu you need to define WANT_MENU on compilation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Menus should be enabled in gvim. Or are we talking about different things here?
The text mode vim has a menu support, which works with the menu.vim file. This has nothing todo with gvim. Extracted from ":help emenu" If the console-mode vim has been compiled with WANT_MENU defined, you can use :emenu to access useful menu items you may have got used to from GUI mode. See 'wildmenu' for an option that works well with this. See |console-menus| for an example.
Jens, I believe that the console vim in Gentoo has menu support enabled. Try :version and look for +menu. If it's there, then you have menu support enabled. It's working fine here for me. The problem might be that you haven't sourced $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim
I'm resolving this WORKSFORME. Please reopen if you find this indeed is a Gentoo problem.
