Vim - the ubiquitous text editor
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to make creating and
changing any kind of text very efficient.
It is included as "vi" with most UNIX systems and with Apple OS X.
Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better.
Among its features are:
- persistent, multi-level undo tree
- extensive plugin system
- support for hundreds of programming languages and file formats
- powerful search and replace
- integrates with many tools

Retiring the Mercurial mirror
[2025-11-06]
Due to ongoing stability issues, I am retiring the Mercurial mirror effective immediately.
Please migrate to the official Git repository. In addition, maintaining the mirror script has become a burden, especially since it requires using commands that are rarely needed.
Happy Vimming!

An Update from the ICCF charity
[2025-10-28]
Dear VIM community
Many of you have known Bram Moolenaar, who sadly passed away in 2023. Some of you also know that he was passionate about his charity ICCF Holland, finding many ways to collect funds to sponsor the education of marginalised children in Uganda at the Kibaale Childrens’ Centre. Many of you contributed regularly or incidentally; big or small, all your donations have been transferred to Uganda to support the education of children. The extra donations we received in 2023 after Bram’s passing have been used to set up two school libraries and launch a study fund for children who want to pursue higher education.
With the loss of Bram, we realize we can no longer sustain the charity for the long term. After discussions with Bram’s family and our sister charity Kuwasha in Canada, we agreed to transfer all activities of ICCF Holland to Kuwasha, and dissolve ICCF Holland in 2025.
We are still receiving donations from VIM users which are highly appreciated! All donations are transferred to Uganda. However, we will close our accounts later this year. The work in Uganda will certainly continue. If you want to continue sponsoring the charity in Uganda, whether it is because you appreciate VIM, or you want to donate in memory of Bram, please send your donations to Kuwasha. All donations will be transferred to Kibaale Children’s Centre, in the same way as ICCF Holland has been doing in the past 30 years.
You can send your donations to Kuwasha through the following means:
Paypal: info@kuwasha.net
Etransfer: edonate@kuwasha.net
Bank account:
Kuwasha International Development Society
Institution: 002
Transit/Branch: 81760
Account #: 0059811
Swift code: NOSCCATT
Scotiabank; North Langley Centre, 19989 96 Avenue, Langley, BC V1M 3C6, Canada
Thank you so much for your support over the years! You certainly have made a huge difference in the lives of many children in Uganda!
Yours sincerely,
Peter Ploeger and Helena Posthumus
Board members of ICCF Holland
