detect vimtouch in vimrc? #37

Closed teranex closed 11 years ago

Is it somehow possible to detect that the current vim instance is Vimtouch from inside the .vimrc?

I don't remember seeing such code, but I might have not paid attention in the right place. I guess we should expose the OS name, a-la if has("android") if we don't do that yet.

has('android') was indeed what I was hoping for. From a quick test that doesn't seem to work. For now the best I could come up with is $VIM =~ 'vimtouch'.

momodalo commented 11 years ago

to implement has("android") needs to modify the vim/src/eval.c but I didn't decide to hard code anything in the vim source tree yet. Any better idea?

:version shows who compiled the current vim. Maybe you could use that to determine if you're using vimtouch?

teranex commented 11 years ago

@untitaker I currently use $VIM =~ 'vimtouch' which works.

@momodalo since it is possible to determine vimtouch with the above trick I don't think starting to modify the Vim source just for that. If you ever start modifying the vim source it might be a nice addition, but for now I would just leave it untouched. I'll close the issue as the aforementioned method is good enough for now.
