1 year ago Hi, I thought about it when I made the move to Vim 8.2, but at the time Vim 9.0 had the double disadvantage of being a huge change internally (which meant a lot of work for me to make it work) and a huge change externally (which means users would have a lot to adapt to).
There was also the issue that Vim 9.0 was new to existing users. All these are temporary reasons. The next update of Vim will obviously move to Vim 9.x
Hello. a-Shell (and iSH) has vim 8.2. Vim is great, but vim 9.0 was released in June of 2022. Is it possible to upgrade its version?
Motivation: vim 9.0 is compatible with great extensions, like Codeium, a free coding AI. It can be useful on an iPad where the keyboard availability is limited, compared to a desktop env.
