From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020104 Description of problem: From vim 5.8-7 and 6.0-7.13 some features are missing, like readline support on the command line and visual selection (v command). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Readline support: 1. start vim 2. press : 3. press up Actual Results: Command Line: ":<Up>" Expected Results: The command line shows the last command Additional info: I consider the new behaviour like a real bug because my productivity using vim is heavily reduced. P.S.: I'm sorry, my english is alpha version.
The point of vim-minimal is being a minimalistic editor. Use vim-enhanced (/usr/bin/vim), which has this and a lot of other useful features.
