From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: "vi" is an alias to vim. The vim with the shipped configuration is very very different than vi. I frequently find that this very inconvient, as I use vi to edit system configs. vim's autoindent and linebreak are exactly wrong almost all of the time. Please fix this. Some possible fixes include: shipping nvi as vi, instead of vim. making vi a shell script that invokes vim -C changing the vim defaults not to set nocompatable or ai shipping vim-minimal, and not aliasing vi to vim. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-enhanced-6.2.98-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: run vi Additional info:
closing as 'wontfix'. If someone installs vim-enhanced, we can safely assume that the full featured version is what the user wants. There are a few workarounds for you: - put an unalias vi in your .bashrc/.profile - remove /etc/profile.d/vim.* for systemwide changes - run '/bin/vi' if you want to run the minimal version, 'vi' if you want the full version.
