What is Vim online?
Vim online is a central place for the Vim community to store useful Vim tips
and tools.
Vim has a scripting language that allows for plugin like extensions to enable
IDE behavior, syntax highlighting, colorization as well as other advanced
features.
These scripts can be uploaded and maintained using Vim online.

Vim
9.2.1332
is the current version |
GTK4 GUI is available!
[2026-05-19]
The Vim project is happy to announce that the GTK 4 GUI has landed in Vim master!
Patch 9.2.0501 adds a new GUI backend built on the modern GTK 4 toolkit, available alongside the existing GTK 2 and GTK 3 backends.
The new GTK 4 backend is enabled at build time with --enable-gui=gtk4 and runs on both X11 and Wayland through GTK 4's native backends. GTK 3 remains the default when configuring with --enable-gui=auto, so existing builds are unaffected. The new backend is opt-in for now while it stabilises.
Please support Kuwasha to continue Bram's legacy in Uganda.
Happy Vimming!

Maintenance window for the Vim.org Homepage
[2026-05-13]
Due to required infrastructure changes, the Vim homepage will move to a new
hosting setup on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
During the migration, the website will temporarily be in read-only mode, so
updating Vim plugins will not be possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Happy Vimming!
